Cleese has pot shot at Trump fans

COMEDY legend John Cleese has labelled supporters of President Donald Trump the “stupidest people” he has ever met.

The Monty Python star, who lives in the US, called American politics “completely mad” during an appearance on The Nightly Show.

He said: “People don’t want to admit how mad it is. They cannot believe what is happening.”

Although he said Trump had supporters, the comedian added: “They still think he’s great but these are the stupidest people you have ever met.”

Cleese’s appearance marked the finale of the late night ITV chat show, which has faced heavy criticism and poor ratings.
