Anthony Mackie is drinking the Donald Trump Kool-Aid. In an interview this week, he said that he would rather work with the Trump campaign than on Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
When sitting down with BET to talk about his new film, Our Brand Is Crisis, the actor said that he would “100 percent” want to run Trump’s campaign.
“I mean, first that'll be the best party ever when he won, and second, Trump's an easy sell,” Mackie said. “When you look at Trump, he's an easy sell because you can sell him as the guy who worked his way up from nothing. And I think if you're a 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' candidate, people would identify with that.”
Mackie was asked if this means he actually supports a Trump presidency, Mackie surprisingly said yes. “I'm on the bandwagon," he said. "I'm drinking the Kool-Aid!"
Mackie stars in the Marvel films as Falcon and was recently seen in Ant-Man. He’s currently working on Captain America: Civil War, so this might be as close as Trump gets to an endorsement from Captain America himself.
Our Brand Is Crisis, which is about Americans working for a South American political campaign, hits theaters on Oct. 30.
