Jim Carrey Explains Why He Draws Anti-Trump Art

In an interview with USA Today, Jim Carrey explained why he’s been drawing numerous anti-Donald Trump cartoons and how it helps him deal with the Trump Administration.

On why he draws the cartoons: “It’s not a choice to be doing the cartoons. I’m doing (them) because I can’t just watch this nightmare unfold.”

On how it helps him: “It’s just a civilized way of dealing with it, to get on board with as many other voices as possible that are shouting from the rooftops. I have to alchemize it into something creative and decent, even if it’s crass at times. I’m expressing the crass everyone else wants to express and can’t necessarily do so. When I stick a flag in Trump’s (behind), it’s because that’s what everybody is seeing. They’re seeing him owned.”

On the feedback he’s received: “Just a constant flow of people saying, ‘I appreciate it. It’s how I feel, so I’m glad someone’s illustrating it.’ It’s a new way of making a public record. You can tweet all you want, but there’s something about a picture that takes it to a whole other level, that makes it something fun to consume.”
