The entertainment industry has responded swiftly after the jury in Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial found the former president guilty of all 34 felony counts. The verdict has sparked a series of reactions from Hollywood's biggest stars, each offering their own perspective on the historic decision.
Kathy Griffin, the comedian who faced huge backlash for her controversial photoshoot involving Trump in 2017, shared her emotional reaction. “Tears of joy,” she cried, as she thanked Stormy Daniels for her pivotal testimony in the case.
Actor John Cusack didn't mince words: “This stupid traitorous criminal is a 34-time convicted felon. Now, how will the judge handle Trump's contempt charges?” His comments highlight the ongoing legal fallout for Trump.
Actor Billy Baldwin echoed similar sentiments, noting the significance of the guilty verdict: “Guilty on all counts. E. Jean Carroll … Stormy Daniels … election interference, espionage, incitement of insurrection — now that's coming,” Baldwin listed, pointing to other legal challenges Trump could face.
The comedy icon chimed in with a clever reference to George Takei's humorous yet pointed comments, writing, “34 out of 45.”
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel used a visual metaphor, posting a photo of Shaquille O'Neal slam-dunking in his No. 34 jersey to highlight the number of charges against Trump.
Anna Duggar, the reality TV star and wife of convicted sex offender Josh Duggar, offered a different perspective, suggesting the ruling could galvanize Trump supporters. “Who knew it only took 12 votes to deliver an early victory in the presidential election?!?! #TrumpWon,” she commented, suggesting the ruling could have unexpected political consequences.
The Star Trek legend, known for his outspoken political commentary, joked that “they should call him 34, not 45,” referring to the number of charges against Trump.
