Well, Hollywood’s having a meltdown—again—and this time, it’s over President Donald Trump’s bold military move that led to the capture of Venezuelan socialist strongman Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
The operation, which took place under the cover of night and was executed with precision, was described by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi as a crackdown on a “Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy” and a long list of charges that sound like they were ripped straight from a crime thriller. But while most Americans are still trying to wrap their heads around the gravity of what just happened, left-wing celebrities have already fired up their phones and headed straight for Bluesky, shouting the one word they just can’t quit: impeachment.
Two and a Half Men actor Jon Cryer didn’t even bother with punctuation or a full sentence. Just “Impeachment now.” That’s it. Apparently, that’s the depth of the analysis we’re working with here. He was echoing Colorado Democrat Rep.
Joe Neguse, who claimed Trump’s actions were “unconstitutional,” though didn’t bother explaining how arresting a foreign narco-dictator linked to international drug trafficking violates the Constitution.
Then there’s Mia Farrow, who went full conspiracy mode, accusing Trump of staging the operation just to steal oil—because of course, everything is about oil. She pleaded for Congress to “grow a spine,” suggesting that stopping the capture of a socialist dictator accused of smuggling cocaine into the U.S. is somehow what’s “right” for America and “the world’s people.”
Mark Ruffalo, never one to miss a chance to compare Trump to Hitler, piled on, along with Stephen King, Wendell Pierce, and Farrow again, pushing the idea that this was all about energy resources and not about international crime, terrorism, or national security.
Rob Delaney, known more for offbeat comedy than international diplomacy, took it several miles further, suggesting the arrest could be part of Trump’s sinister plan to expand “concentration camps” in Venezuela. Yes, really.
Then George Takei decided to offer his version of constitutional insight, claiming that Trump needed a declaration of war from Congress. Except this wasn’t war—it was a law enforcement and national security operation. That’s a big difference, but don’t expect Hollywood to pause long enough to notice.
Ellen Barkin, for her part, skipped the legal analysis and went straight for the insult parade, claiming Trump was “babbling” incoherently during his national address, chewing through what she described as “cotton in his filthy mouth.” Again, not exactly highbrow policy critique.
While celebrities continue posting dramatic takes from their coastal mansions, President Trump’s address laid out the details of the operation: a strategic, swift mission to capture a dictator long accused of facilitating drug shipments and harboring dangerous weapons. It wasn’t about oil. It wasn’t a war. And it sure wasn’t a movie.
