Times Samuel L. Jackson Publicly Slammed Donald Trump

Since joining X (formerly Twitter), Samuel L. Jackson has amassed almost nine million followers, thanks to his stardom and vocal views shared in thousands of posts. In 2018, the “Kingsman” star joined social media critics to slam Donald Trump after he met the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting.

During the meeting, Trump suggested that a coach who was killed at the school would have had a better chance of survival if he’d had a firearm. This was a justification for his plan to arm 1-in-5 teachers. Samuel L. Jackson, a proud parent to a grown-up daughter, posted on X: “Can someone that’s been in a Gunfight tell that Muth***ka that’s Never been in a Gunfight, the flaws of his Arm The Teachers plan?” While many celebrities shied away from speaking on politics, Jackson wasn’t one of them. His commentary on X contributed to the national conversation on gun control and safety in schools.
