Share this @internewscast.com

Martin Sheen didn’t hold back while slamming the Trump administration during a fiery interview with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Monday.

During a live recording of The Best People podcast, the three-time Emmy winner, 85, expressed criticism of the president’s inner circle for their lack of integrity and inability to fulfill the public’s ‘great hunger’ for truth.

‘It’s a mighty battle going on. It’s not about winning or losing. It’s about being in touch with your own personal humanity because there’s such a lack of it coming from this administration,’ Sheen stated.

The West Wing star, known for portraying a fictional U.S. president, went on to describe the atmosphere he believes surrounds Trump’s cabinet. 

‘I’m convinced of this — that when you look at this group of people at the round table in the White House, the cabinet room, every one of those people looks across the table and they do not see anyone who is better than they are,’ he added.

He further explained: ‘They generally see a reflection of their [worst] selves. There’s no heroes in there. There’s no music. There’s no laughter. There’s no self-effacement. There’s no joy in that room. It smells of ego and fear and false worship.’

Sheen also singled out Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., reflecting on his family’s history in American politics. 

‘His father sat in that room [with] the ExComm committee in October 1962 during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis,’ he reflected. ‘He literally, with his brother John, rejected an attack on Cuba and basically saved the world from nuclear annihilation.’

‘He did it because he was in touch with his humanity and he understood the enemy was also human,’ Sheen continued. ‘If we don’t find our own personal humanity, we cannot possibly find it or see it in each other.’

The actor urged members of the Trump administration to reconnect with compassion and humility.

‘If we’re lucky enough to surrender and accept the responsibility that we start as nothing basically, except our humanity, then we realize, ‘Oh my God, being human is all we need,’ he explained. ‘We’re broken. It’s beautiful brokenness, because if you weren’t broken, nothing could get in to change you.’

In a direct message to Trump, Sheen delivered a scathing personal plea. 

‘You’ve got to realize, sir, that you are the biggest nothing in the world,’ he said. ‘Stop listening to all these people around you, these sycophants who are encouraging you to be your non-human self. Get in touch with that humanity.’

Sheen went on to advise Trump start speaking from his ‘heart and start being human.’

Sheen’s remarked divided social media, with some calling him ‘a national treasure’ while others branded him ‘cringe.’

‘What is it with self important actors and their unsolicited advice?’ on X user asked.

Another wrote: ‘We all need a little Martin Sheen in these times. Thank you for bringing this to us.’ 

A second supporter praised the actor for being ‘a voice in the darkness for democracy, human rights, & civil disobedience.’
