‘If I ran, I would win’

Alec Baldwin says he’d beat Trump in 2020

-

Actor Alec Baldwin is confident he would “absolutely” beat Donald Trump if he were to run against the U.S. President in the 2020 election.

The Departed star has been a vocal critic of the Republican politician for some time, and has become famed for his parody of Trump on Saturday Night Live – an impression the property mogul and former reality TV boss is not fond of.

Baldwin, a registered Democrat, has previously pondered a career in politics, and during a chat with shock jock Howard Stern this week, the 60-year-old shared his thoughts on the next election.

“I can only think of a couple people who I think could beat Trump,” he remarked, as Stern suggested Baldwin enter the race for the White House.

“If I ran, I would win,” Alec declared. “I would absolutely win. I 1,000% would win.”

However, he insists he’s too busy juggling his acting career and TV hosting gig on The Match Game with his new role as a father-of-five to seriously pursue the top job.

“My wife said she would (kill me if I ran for president),” the actor added, confessing he has given some thought to the idea. “It would be the funniest, most exciting, craziest campaign...,” he laughed.
