Los Angeles, November 19: Hollywood star Jim Carrey criticised US President Donald Trump by labelling him "melanoma". According to the Hollywood Reporter, the actor-turned-artiste slammed Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans during a panel discussion at Vulture Fest here. During the session, he also asked his assistant mid-panel to post his latest political painting — a portrait of McConnell as a turtle with a blue wave crashing behind him.

Carrey said he was an "incredibly dangerous" threat to Homeland Security. "These are not people you can deal with. You cannot be bipartisan with a criminal. A rapist needs to be removed, not negotiated with. These people are raping our system, they're destroying it right in front of us... Jim Carrey Tells Mark Zuckerberg ‘F**K You’ in Binary Code Language on Twitter.

"This corrupt Republican congress that was...These people have to be removed from our system because they're bad for us. Trump is a melanoma, and anybody that covers for him, including Sarah Sanders, is putting makeup on it. It shows that there's a deeper problem in this country, and that problem is greed," he said.

Last month, during the Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award, Carrey took a sly dig at current US government and the president saying people need to understand that being "shameless" does not make a nation superpower.
