Mark Ruffalo Calls Trump 'the Worst Human Being in the World' at Golden Globes

Source: Rolling Stone

Mark Ruffalo had strong words for Donald Trump on the red carpet of Golden Globes on Sunday night. The actor was asked about his pin, which read “Be Good,” and explained that he was wearing it to honor Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed by an ICE agent last week.

“This is for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered,” Ruffalo told reporters. He elaborated on his upset with the current situation in the U.S., noting, “We have a vice president who is lying about what’s happening. We’re in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded.”

Ruffalo added of Trump, “He’s telling the world that international law doesn’t matter to him. The only thing that matters to him is his own morality, but the guy is a convicted felon; a convicted rapist. He’s a pedophile. He’s the worst human being in the world. If we’re relying on this guy’s morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we’re all in a lot of trouble.”

The actor explained that the pin, which was worn by several other attendees, including Wanda Skyes, was dedicated both to Good and to “the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today.”

Now I do the same with trump. It is the first thing I think of every single morning as I turn on the radio: Is it possible that he died overnight? So far, no.

I realize that you cannot petition the Lord with prayer, but we need help on this one!

To be quite honest, I firmly believe he would have worn a shirt depicting Thomas Crooks or even Tyler Robinson as heroes if the idea came to his head.

democracy, which neither of the other two have ever been. And neither of their murdering dictators is a traitor to their own country.And we have a much larger population on which to perpetrate his outrages. putler and kimmy have had years to perpetrate their horrors. This traitorous, murdering, insane, sadistic pedophile and rapist has been escalating on an almost hourly basis in the 358 days he has been busy destroying us.

Putin is clearly #1.

Kim only controls a tiny shithole country so he can't break into the top 5.

He's got Xi, Netanyahu and the Ayatollah Khamenei ahead of him.

You may not have heard of Mark Ruffalo, but if you watch movies, you've seen him.

He played Hulk/Bruce Banner in multiple Marvel films over the last decade. He's been great in dozens of movies - for instance The Kids Are Alright from 2010. He's on HBO right now in a show called "Task".
