Actor Mel Gibson used a very confusing and slightly shocking analogy when on Fox News to explain Donald Trump’s return to the White House for a second stint as president of the United States of America.
He compared the return of Trump to a father coming home to take off his belt and discipline the family, which left a lot of viewers feeling very uncomfortable.
Gibson was on the news shortly after Trump had been having a heated exchange in which he blamed the Democrats for the major damage caused in the California wildfires.
“It’s like daddy arrived and he’s taking his belt off,” Gibson said of the exchange.
Hannity responded by asking Gibson to tell more about how the fires had impacted him, given the 69-year-old saw his Malibu mansion burn down.
“How has it been?” Hannity asked.
“You’ve been living through these wildfires. You read about hydrants that don’t have water. You read about cutting firefighters’ budgets, you read about reservoirs that are empty. I mean, it’s gotta be frustrating,” the host continued.
Mel Gibson pleased about Trump’s arrival
“Well, it is,” Gibson agreed, talking about how the government handled the situation.
“There are those that say, ‘They must’ve done it on purpose.’ I won’t go that far, but if they didn’t do it on purpose, I think they certainly facilitated it.
“My heart goes out to all the other residents. You meet people all the time who’ve lost their homes. And you talk and commiserate and buck each other up, and everyone’s putting on a brave face. They’re a good bunch out here.
“I’m glad Trump’s here at the moment,” he continued. “I think he’ll get some results here quickly.”
