The radically liberal Hollywood star Jane Fonda is weighing in on the 2024 presidential election, and it should come as a surprise to no one that she’s already bashing the former President Donald Trump, who recently announced that he will be running again.
Fonda Talks Trump And 2024
Fonda said in 2019 that she didn’t “hate” Trump, and instead only felt “sad” for him. When asked in a new interview if she still felt this way, Fonda replied, “Bad behavior is the language of the traumatized. We have to hate the behavior, but not the person.”
“So I try very, very hard — I don’t have to try hard to hate the behavior — but I try not to feel hate for him,” the 84 year-old continued, according to The Hill. “He has been traumatized, and unfortunately the American people are paying the price.”
Fonda went on to boldly predict that Trump will not win again in 2024.
“Not everybody quite realizes that they are paying a price for what has happened in the last four years,” she said. “And I frankly don’t think that enough American people are going to want to go through that again, that he will be successful.”
“I don’t think Trump can win, I don’t,” Fonda added. “I don’t think enough people want that kind of divisive, violent persona running the country.”

Fonda On Biden
That being said, Fonda also does not seem to be very excited about President Joe Biden. When asked if she would support Biden if he runs for re-election in 2024, Fonda replied, “I don’t know.”
“I guess if he runs, I’ll support him, yeah,” she continued.
That doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement, now does it?
Fonda’s main issue with Biden seems to be that she feels that he is not doing enough for the climate. In this same interview, she called on leftists to “demand” that President Biden declare a climate emergency.
“When he does that, all kinds of mechanisms become available to him, including Pentagon money that you can use for green technology going forward, including banning export of U.S. crude oil, for example, which would be very important, and stopping fossil fuel subsidies that taxpayers pay $20 billion every year for this stuff that’s killing us,” she said.
Fonda’s ‘Fire Drill Fridays’ Are Back
Fonda is currently preparing to travel to Washington D.C. for her first in-person “Fire Drill Friday” protest in nearly three years.
“COVID is somewhat diminished, and we feel it’s safe,” the woman formerly nicknamed as “Hanoi Jane” explained. “And the midterms are over and we’re entering a new year — we wanted to come to D.C. live and say, ‘OK, this is what the election has meant for climate. This is what we have to do going forward.'”
Fonda moved to D.C. for 14 weeks in 2019 for her “Fire Drill Friday” protests that were meant to demand action on climate change, and she was arrested multiple times for these stunts. Though her protests took place at the Capitol, she says she will not be protesting there again in the wake of the Capitol riot.
“I think [the city’s] more buttoned up. I think it’s more paranoid about violence and stuff like that,” she said. “Clearly, after Jan. 6 — that’s why we’re not doing it where we did it before on the grounds of the Capitol.”

Fonda Not Expecting To Be Arrested
Fonda is also not expecting to be arrested this time because “we are not engaging in civil disobedience.”
Must be nice to be a liberal activist protesting on the leftwing side!
Fonda has been spouting her radically ignorant liberal views for decades, so anyone who takes anything she says seriously at this point might want to get their own heads examined. She can claim that Trump has no chance of winning in 2024 all she wants to, but since he’s beaten the odds and come out victorious before, she might be in for a big surprise in two years!
