An actor I really like and he is not destroying that by saying "If Trump wins, I will leave the country".
Kudos Viggo.

...Mortensen has had an eventful election. An enthused supporter of Bernie Sanders, the selection of Hillary Clinton left him so dispirited he decided to vote for Jill Stein of the Green party. On mentioning this publicly, the response from some fearful of a backdoor Trump victory was raw.
The prominent film blogger Sasha Stone wrote a 2,000-word open letter: “Viggo, I expected you to have compassion and regard for the most vulnerable. As evidenced by your recent words, you clearly don’t.”
He half-nods. Clinton, he says, is simply dishonest. “I understand the argument that I’m helping Trump. But people said it was a problem in 2000 voting for Ralph Nader and not Al Gore, and that election was stolen by Bush anyway.” He screws up his face....

'Promoting self-sufficiency to eliminate investment in public projects.”On movies, Mortensen can tend towards the businesslike. '
'Young actors see older actors behaving in infantile ways. ‘I want the biggest trailer. '
'Though Mortensen was offered the job, it had limited appeal; Henry, an avid reader of Tolkien, nagged him into accepting. '
'They’ve decided to cry because it’s going to get them their nomination, and the other actor doesn’t matter a fuck. '
'But that’s less comfortable to sell.”The politics of his character in Captain Fantastic are not a world from his own. '
