Washington [US], Nov. 7 (ANI): Former US President Donald Trump has spoken out against actor Alec Baldwin, saying the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of ‘Rust’ may not have been an accident. Trump’s bitter relationship with Baldwin is well-known, largely based on the actor’s dominant impersonation of him on ‘Saturday Night Live’. According to Deadline, Trump addressed the ‘Rust’ incident and Baldwin’s role here on Thursday on a podcast by conservative radio host Chris Stigall. “He’s a troubled man. There’s something wrong with him. I’ve been watching him for years. He got into fights with reporters, “Trump said.” He’s a cuckoo-bird. He’s a nutjob. And usually, when there’s such a person, you know, in my opinion, he has something to do with it, “he added. Baldwin maintained the shooting was a “tragic accident” and said he was told the gun used in the shooting was not loaded. Trump said he thinks Baldwin shouldn’t have. the gun is pointed at a crew, loaded or not.

“But if it’s gone, how do you get a gun and just, whether it’s loaded or unloaded, how do you get a gun, point it at someone who’s not even in the movie and just point it at this person and pull the trigger. and now he’s dead? ” Trump said. He added that if he had been handed a gun, he would fire it first into the air. “It’s weird. Who’s going to take a gun and point it at a cinematographer and pull the trigger, and he’s dead?” he continued. He continued to ask how the live ammunition was equipped with the gun. “As bad as it may have been kept, means you know the people that take care of the equipment and the guns and everything else … But even if it was loaded, and that’s a weird thing– maybe he loaded it, “he said. When asked about Baldwin’s ‘SNL’ impersonation, Trump said they were “horrible”. , I’ve seen him for years because he did. I thought a poor job of imitating me, “he stated. (ANI)
