Mickey Rourke’s cryptic Trump comments resurface after election and Internet can't stop talking about it

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Mickey Rourke's notorious and extravagant judgment of Donald Trump has resurfaced, sparking a new surge of discussion on social media, especially after the 2024 election.

The 2022 interview, already notorious for its strange and forthright character, received renewed focus as the nation digested the results of this year's intensely contested election.

Mickey Rourke's unfiltered judgment on Donald Trump goes viral

In the footage, Mickey Rourke, an Academy Award-nominated actor recognized for his unconventional persona and candid viewpoints, delivered an unreserved judgment on the president-elect.

A clip featuring Rourke's discussion about Trump on Piers Morgan's TalkTV show, 'Uncensored', has become viral, accompanied by the caption, “This rocks incredibly hard.”

The video captures a tense exchange between the two, with Rourke's responses becoming progressively stranger. The interview, conducted in July 2022, centered on Rourke's reasons for posting an image on Twitter that showed the Statue of Liberty crying.

This led to the unexpected claim that the actor received a visit from the Secret Service for speaking ill of Trump.

“They call it the United States of America but it’s now the Divided States of America and there’s one big reason for that but I’m not going to go into it because I don’t need another visit from the Secret Service,” he said.

When Morgan questioned him, “When did you have one before?” Rourke answered, “Oh, about six months ago.” This led Morgan to inquire, “Why?”

To this, Rourke, following a lengthy silence, replied, “Take a wild guess.”

Morgan then questioned, “Was it because of something you said about President Trump?” Rourke affirmed this, stating that he had spoken ”the truth.”

When Morgan pressed the actor for an explanation, Rourke, maintaining a stony expression and after a prolonged pause, responded quietly, “Read my mind.”

Mickey Rourke faces backlash online as users slam his comments on Donald Trump

When Mickey Rourke's words resurfaced on social media, users started bashing him. A user claimed, "He’s a crackhead."

Another slammed saying, "The epitome of the deranged, unwell, and sick left."

A third commentator remarked, "Another has-been for the bin."

A critic pointed out that Rourke referred to Trump as "president" even though he was not the president in 2022, the year the interview was recorded, "The dumbest thing said in this is Piers calling him President Trump. He’s not f*****g president. It takes a lot to out-dumb Mickey Rourke, but there it is."

Conversely, some individuals have criticized Rourke for his appearance, with claims that they can no longer recognize him.

A person said, "This guy would need to update his driver's licence photo every year. Don't even recognise him."

Another added, "If you told me in 95 that Mickey Rourke would end up looking like this, I would’ve never believed it. Unrecognisable."
