Sean Penn Warns Trump Could 'Destroy World'

Actor Sean Penn, during a podcast with Jim Acosta and Rep. Eric Swalwell, warned that former President Donald Trump could 'try to destroy the world' if he attempted to retain power or felt cornered. Penn likened Trump to a jealous spouse who would rather destroy something than lose it, suggesting Trump's narcissism might manifest in global destruction as a final act. The discussion referenced Trump's public musings about a possible third term and concerns about his willingness to do whatever it takes to protect himself. Swalwell echoed these fears, warning that Trump could become more extreme if he believed no one could shield him from consequences. The conversation reflects a broader trend of Hollywood celebrities expressing anxiety that Trump's actions could lead to catastrophic outcomes, but these warnings seem to have diminishing influence over the American public. The podcast also touched on international concerns, drawing parallels with authoritarian leaders abroad.
