In a blistering op-ed for Time on Friday, Sean Penn called president Donald Trump “an enemy of mankind” and “an enemy of the state” over his reported remarks about “shithole countries.”
On Thursday, the Washington Post reported that President Trump asked, during a meeting with lawmakers, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” referring to Haiti and African nations. Trump later said he used “tough” language but denied using that phrase.
In the essay marking the eight-year anniversary of the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake, Penn talked about his experiences as a volunteering in Haiti.

“While Haitian immigrants typically arrive in the United States with lower levels of education and income than the general population, they sacrifice as parents to scrap and save and to ensure that their children can make the most of the opportunity to be here,” he wrote. “They contribute. And there is no disputing the value they add to American society.”
Penn said Trump’s reported comments were “far worse than mere insensitivity or even nationalism. Those standards are not disgraceful enough.”
“We will find unity,” Penn concluded, “only when we recognize that in our current president we have elected, perhaps for the first time in our history, an enemy of compassion. Indeed, we can be unified not only with each other but with Africa, El Salvador, Haiti, Mexico, the Middle East and beyond if we recognize President Donald Trump is an enemy of Americans, Republicans, Democrats, Independents and every new child born. An enemy of mankind. He is indeed an enemy of the state.”
Poster Comment:
Sean is an extremely homely left winger who enjoyed socializing with Communist dictators and is an enemy of Constitutional America.
After eight long years of Mr. Empty Man, we now have a President who is absolutely proud of America, being an American and is apologetic to no one for either! Remain obediently quiet no longer! 2018's bringing the Rs 18 seats in the Senate & 72 seats in the House!

He's certainly entitled to fabricate a reason for contempt and criticism and join the fad. His name seems vaguely familiar. Has he ever done anything significant? what is he?

I don't respect the man or his opinion.

This coming from the Hollywood snowflake that secretly visited El Chapo, while he was an escapee of a prison.

Penn is a friend to all Communist Dictators. A photo of Che hangs over his bed in a fram instead of a gallows. Penn is as anti-American as it is possible to get.

Chavez and Castro, not sure how many other commie regimes Penn provided cover for.
You might recall that during Katrina's aftermath, he gathered a crew of his Hollyweird homies to go to NOLA to rescue people. Someone sold him several extremely overpriced boats. Penn assembled the cameras and prepared to embark and then they noticed the boats were sinking before anyone even set foot on them.
A few days later, Penn retreated to Hollyweird. His feelings were hurt. I don't think his crew ever did rescue anyone.

Really? Just exactly what did he actually DO to help ANYONE in Haiti?
Showing up for a photo op and to boink a few left-wing college girls doesn't count as "help".

Well,he was married to Madonna for about 15 minutes. He was a semi-big movie star at the time,and it was a publicity stunt for her.

Why is the opinion of an alcoholic druggie supposed to matter to me?
I can get the opinions of any number of them just by asking the bums on the streets of New York when I walk by.
"Hey, what do you think of Trump?" If I dangle a fiver in my hand while asking, the more discerning ones will ask me "What do I need to think to get that fiver?"
