Sean Penn is not holding back when it comes to his opinion of Donald Trump‘s second term as president. Speaking on Jim Acosta‘s Substack podcast, the actor said he is concerned about whether Trump will attempt to remain in office.

“We should consider worst case scenarios,” Penn said, after speaking about El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele. “I do think it’s a reasonable theory that Donald Trump is not unlike the spouse of someone who leaves him, perhaps for another, who then murders their former partner because if they can’t have her, nobody can. And I think Donald Trump and his solipsism may have that relationship with the world and that this destruction is in part a power play, and also a literal intention of his final out.”

Acosta then asked if Penn thought Donald would leave at the end of his term. “I think he might try to destroy the world before he ages out of life,” Penn replied.
