Donald Trump‘s rant concerning the “fantastic” Hannibal Lecter is not sitting properly with one of many guys who helped make “The Silence of the Lambs,” and he is taking a chew out of DT’s rhetoric.
Edward Saxon — a part of the Oscar-winning trio that produced the movie — tells TMZ … he has a reasonably good concept why Trump is likely to be so keen to separate some fava beans and a pleasant Chianti with previous Hannibal the Cannibal.
He says, “My guess is, Letcer seems like a kindred spirit. A part of it could be aspirational in that Lecter is good and is ready to see into folks’s motivations and management them.”
Saxon provides, jokingly, “It might be aspirational on a culinary degree as properly, you already know, to have extra elevated gastronomic tastes” — a reasonably clear shot on the former president’s love of quick meals.
In fact, on a way more critical notice, he says he does not like the thought of Trump evaluating immigrants coming into the U.S. to the murderous Lecter … telling us it is abhorrent to liken one to the opposite, which Trump boldly did throughout a weekend rally in New Jersey.
As we reported … Trump referred to Anthony Hopkins’ character because the “late, nice Hannibal Lecter” — remembering him as an ideal man … and in the identical vein, utilizing him as a method to describe the sorts of folks which can be pouring into the nation … specifically, evil cannibal sorts.
Saxon says that whereas fictional Lecter is likely to be an “alluring position mannequin” for Trump … it is nonetheless not cool to make the juxtaposition — and whereas he is not shocked, he says DT simply should not go there.
He says … “Evaluating people who find themselves in search of a greater life in America, like my grandparents did, to a serial killer, is simply fallacious.”
It places the foot in its mouth, and virtually all the time will get the hose once more. 😅
