Martin Sheen torch the Trump administration during a conversation with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace Saturday and offered some advice to the president and told him to stop listening to all the “sycofants” surrounding him.
At MSNBC’s annual MSNBC Live ’25 event on Saturday, Sheen seemed like a live guest at Wallace’s “The Best People” podcast. During his and Walce’s conversation, Sheen Trump’s cabinet blasted not to satisfy the “great hunger” of the American people for the truth. “It is a powerful battle that is going on. It is not about winning or losing. It is about being in contact with your own personal humanity because there is such a lack of that it comes from this administration,” Sheen noted.
“I am convinced of this – that when you look at this group of people at the round table in the White House, the cabin room, each of these people sees over the table and they do not see anyone better than they are,” Sheen continued. “They generally see a reflection of their (worst) self. There are no heroes there. There is no music. There is no laugh. There is no self -discharge. There is no joy in that room. It smells ego and fear and fake worship.”
Sheen put his view of health and human services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.Notes the family’s legacy in the White House. “His father sat in that room (with) Excomm committee in October 1962 under the height of the Cuban missile crisis,” recalls Sheen. “He literally rejected, with his brother John, an attack on Cuba and basically saved the world from nuclear destruction.”
“He did it because he was in contact with his humanity and he understood that the enemy was also human,” added the “West Wing” actor. “If we do not find our own personal humanity, we cannot possibly find it or see it in each other.”
Sheen urged the members of the Trump administration to embrace their humanity again. “If we are lucky enough to hand over and accept the responsibility that we start as nothing in principle, except our humanity, we realize,” Oh my God, to be human is all we need, “explained Sheen.” We are broken. It is beautiful brockenness, because if you were not broken, nothing can come in to change you. “
The actor then turned attention to Trump and told the president, “you have to realize, sir, that you are the greatest nothing in the world.”
“Stop listening to all these people around you, these sycofants that encourage you to be your non-human self,” urged Sheen Trump. “Get in touch with that humanity. Stop fussing with your hair and don’t worry about your tie and stand up straight and speak clearly – not from your neck. Talk from your heart and start to be human. That’s what you got for, not golf. So there you, Mr. President, with all respect, sir.”
