‘Censored’ Artists Can’t Stop Slamming Trump

We may not have Sebastian Stan around for long.

After all, the “Apprentice” alum just took President Donald Trump to task at the Cannes Film Festival. And, as we all know, the president loves nothing more than locking up actors who speak out against his regime.

Here’s a full list of the celebrities currently rotting in Trump’s gulag for defying his reign.

 

 

Oh, wait.

Stars have spent the last decade raging against Trump. Some wished him dead. Others pushed endless lies about him.

None has suffered as a result of their words, at least not by Trump’s hands. Kathy Griffin endured professional cancellation after she shared a ghoulish image of Trump’s bloody head for all to see.

That was common decency kicking in, nothing more (or less).

More recently, Trump critic Stephen Colbert learned his “Late Show” gig will expire on May 21. Did Herr Trump get ’em?

No. The show’s $40 million a year losses did the trick.

Yet star after star insists we’re living in unprecedented times and that by calling out Trump, they’re putting their careers and freedom in jeopardy.

Hogwash. This is a PG-rated outlet, after all.

Now, it’s Stan’s turn to play the Victim.

The actor, speaking at a press conference for his upcoming film “Fjord,” trotted out the usual misinformation to attack Trump’s America.

“I think we’re in a really, really bad place. I really do. And to be honest with you, when you’re looking at what’s happening, right — if we’re talking about the consolidation of the media, censorship, threats, the supposed lawsuits that seemingly never end but don’t actually go anywhere. You know, the writing was on the wall. We encountered all that with the movie.”

He, of course, brought up Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel as fellow free speech martyrs. Kimmel endured a one-week suspension last year after he lied to his audience about the person allegedly responsible for Charlie Kirk’s 2025 murder.

An affiliate revolt sparked the suspension, but Kimmel was back several days later without having apologized for the misinformation. He later signed a year-long contract extension with ABC.

Few dictators are as incompetent as Trump, apparently.

This part must still be said.

President Trump will often bloviate about punishing his critics for their words. It’s an awful tic, one that’s deeply unpresidential and an anathema to free speech.

And, as we’ve learned over the past decade, it’s all talk and zero action.

In fact, President Trump has been far more generous with free speech than his predecessor. Team Biden used social media to punish wrongthink, attempted to create a disinformation czar and targeted concerned parents who objected to the teachings at their local schools.

So no, Stan doesn’t have to worry about being snatched up by the secret police anytime soon. He can rage against President Trump early and often.

And after a few more years of doing that sans punishment, maybe he’ll learn to regret his fear-mongering shtick.

UPDATE: Even Kimmel knows his faux free speech martyr status is a joke. Here, he yuks it up with the suddenly anti-Trump “South Park” creators about their attacks on the president.

“Why aren’t you guys in a gulag somewhere, like, shackled down in a basement?” Jimmy Kimmel asked South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, alluding to the animated show’s constant attacks on Trump, including repeatedly depicting the president naked with a micro-penis.
