Tim Allen Slammed After Saying This About Donald Trump

Tim Allen and his conservative political views have led to some swift backlash for the “Last Man Standing” actor on social media once again after he made some surprising comments regarding his support of former President Donald Trump.

Allen made the comments on an appearance on the “WTF With Marc Maron Podcast,” where the host asked him about his conservative views despite his partnerships with Disney (which has included his roles in the “The Santa Clause” and “Toy Story” movies), and Allen pointed out that he is a fiscal conservative—but his support for Trump took some by surprise.

“I literally don’t preach anything. What I’ve done is just not joined into, as I call it, the ‘we culture,’” he said. “I’m not telling anybody else how to live. I don’t like that, ‘we should do this’ or, ‘we should do that.’”

“Once I realized that the last President pissed people off, I kind of liked that,” he added. “So it was fun to just not say anything. Didn’t join in the lynching crowd.”

The comment about liking Trump because of the reaction he caused among people led to a swift backlash against the actor and comedian, with many expressing either surprise that he was a Trump supporter or that it was insensitive for him to use that standard when determining if Trump was a good president.

Tim Allen is right.
Donald Trump does piss people off.

- We don't like 500k of our countrymen dying
- We don't like Presidents who incite insurrection.
- We don't like people who try to ruin our democracy.
- We don't like people who never, ever take responsibility..

Actor Tim Allen says he "just loves the fact that Trump pissed people off" but in all seriousness, he's talking about the president of the United States. There isn't a more demanding and serious job on earth. I don't get how this is so funny and light hearted?

Tim Allen likes Trump for the fact he pisses people off.

I could get behind logic like that if it weren't for the fact his buffoonery led to the deaths of half a million people and counting.

Hilarious.

Tim Allen likes Trump because he pisses people off?

And I no longer feel sad that Woody left Buzz forever with the whiny little spork.

Allen went on to admit he had also been friendly with the Clintons when Bill Clinton was in office, but his support for Trump came from not believing Hillary Clinton deserved to hold the same office.

Allen’s conservative views are actually nothing new. Though he wasn’t as vocal a Trump supporter as other celebrities and has even called himself a Fiscal Conservative but “Emotional Liberal”-- and also condemned the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol, his Conservative views were blamed for his show’s initial cancellation on ABC, with many claiming that his comments about Hollywood not being open to less liberal viewpoints led to the Disney owned network pulling the plug on the show.

The series was actually canceled because of the rising cost to keep it on ABC since it was produced by 20th Century Fox. It was later picked up by Fox and has been airing there ever since. However, the show’s current ninth season was also announced to be it's last back in October.
