Chelsea Handler
"It’s kind of great to have a person like that represent everything that’s wrong in the world. It’s always a good thing to look at somebody and say, ’That’s the worst thing that could happen.’ I think we should keep [Trump] in the spotlight— not as a president, obviously." — Chelsea Handler at Variety’s Entertainment and Tech Summit, months after posting her naked body to Instagram in protest against Trump and admitting on Live With Kelly and Michael that she "bought a house in another country just in case" Trump wins.
Matt Damon
"[Trump] makes me nervous... There’s no way we can let this guy be the [president]. To let that dude have the nuclear football, are you kidding me? That’s dangerous. He’s impulsive and rash, and doesn’t seem to think deeply about too many things." — Matt Damon on ABC’s Popcorn With Peter Travers. Damon’s feelings on Trump were made evident nearly a year earlier in an interview with a Spanish news agency when he called Trumps’ speech "xenophobic," "dehumanizing" and "disgusting."

"What I don’t think [Trump] understands and what people don’t understand is words create emotional poison. That’s what they do, they create emotional poison. Hitler moved a nation with words, just words. So you have to expect this backlash. If you say something like that, as he has said, you must expect a backlash." — Eva Longoria, who almost a year later delivered an impassioned speech at the DNC in which she said that Trump’s comments insult American families like hers.

The ’Girls’ actress is a staunch Clinton supporter and has been very vocal about Trump’s treatment of women on Twitter and other platforms.

He shows no interest or understanding for any sort of policy depth, and I feel like he’s uniquely unqualified to be president." — John Legend in an interview with CNN. Voicing his opinion on Trump isn’t novel for Legend, who’s called the Republican nominee "divisive" and "racist" while comparing him to slave owners and in other instances, such as on Twitter in response to fellow Penn alum Donald Trump Jr. While performing at a Hillary Clinton rally recently, Legend went a step further and said, "He doesn’t deserve to be elected dog catcher in your local county."

I just wish he’d fall off the face of the Earth.” — Cher in a speech at a Hillary Clinton fundraiser, in which she also compared the candidate to Stalin and Hitler and said, "I just think he’s a f*cking idiot.” The Goddess of Pop has also made her anti-Trump stance evident on Twitter with comments like "dump Trump," "support him!? I’d rather chew glass," "let’s throw Trump in a volcano," and "If he were to be elected, I’m moving to Jupiter."
Johnny Depp
"If Donald Trump is elected president of the United States in a kind of historical way, it’s exciting because we will see the actual last president of the United States.

Rashida Jones
"We [have elected] an openly sexist, racist, self interested meglomaniac to the highest office in our country. It's a dark day." — Rashida Jones in a tweet, which was followed by one that said, "#notmypresident #nevermypresident," when Donald Trump was officially announced president.

A few days before that, Seyfried asked the Twitterverse, "Why are we still watching a delusional, racist man-child run for dictator?"
Will Smith
"For a man to be able to publicly refer to a woman as a fat pig, that makes me teary. And for people to applaud, that is absolutely f*cking insanity to me... If one of my sons, I am getting furious just thinking about it, if one of my sons said that in a public place, they couldn’t even live in my house anymore... For me, deep down in my heart, I believe that America won’t and we can’t [elect Donald Trump]. Of all the things he has said, and we could go through the laundry list, that was the one that was such an absolute illustration of a darkness of his soul. I just cannot figure out how people can clap for that.” — Will Smith in an interview with news.com.au.
Gabrielle Union

Robert De Niro
“He’s so blatantly stupid. He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, he’s a con — a bullsh*t artist. A mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, doesn’t do his homework, doesn’t care, thinks he’s gaming society, doesn’t pay his taxes. He’s an idiot.” — Robert De Niro in a video released through Anonymous Content and their voteyourfuture.us campaign. The actor continues, referring to Trump as "this fool," "this bozo," and saying, "“He talks about how he wants to punch people in the face. Well, I’d like to punch him in the face.”
Kerry Washington
“The loudest, and the meanest, the bulliest candidate in the playground.” — Kerry Washington, who is even in a campaign ad for Hillary Clinton’s , On Real Time with Bill Maher.

Miley Cyrus
"Donald Trump is a f*cking nightmare." — Cyrus on Instagram.
Louis C.K.
"Please stop it with voting for Trump. It was funny for a little while. But the guy is Hitler. And by that I mean that we are being Germany in the 30s. Do you think they saw the sh*t coming? Hitler was just some hilarious and refreshing dude with a weird comb over who would say anything at all." — Louis C.K. in the postscript of an email blast promoting his web series ’Horace and Pete.’ Later in the PS, the comedian called Trump an "insane bigot," "dangerous," and "a f*cking liar."
