Samuel L. Jackson ‘Doesn’t Give a F*ck’ If Speaking Out Against Trump Loses Him Fans

Samuel L. Jackson isn’t one to mince words when speaking about Donald Trump. At the beginning of the new year, the actor went viral for calling Trump a “motherfucker”. Does Jackson care that his outspoken hatred of the president might alienate fans or turn some of his massive fan base away from seeing his movies? Not at all.
“I know how many motherfuckers hate me,” Jackson recently told Esquire about not fearing fan reactions to his Trump criticisms. “‘I’m never going to see a Sam Jackson movie again.’ Fuck I care? If you never went to another movie I did in my life, I’m not going to lose any money. I already cashed that check. Fuck you. Burn up my videotapes. I don’t give a fuck.”
A common reaction Jackson often hears from Trump supporters is that he is an actor and should therefore “stick to acting” and not politics.
