Actor Tim Allen reacted to the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump that took place on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, calling it “cowardly.”
In a post on X, the actor known for his roles in Toy Story and Last Man Standing said he “had some trouble processing” the assassination attempt.
Allen noted that Trump is not only a former president and presidential candidate but also “someone’s granddad, father, sibling, friend, and husband.”
“Really had some trouble processing the cowardly assassination attempt last week,” Allen wrote.
“The former president, like him or not, is someone’s granddad, father, sibling, friend and husband. He simply presents a different position,” the post included.
Allen warned that “framing one’s opposition into an enemy is a radical strategy.”
“It turns actual problem solving into an ego game of winning and losing thru word play,” Allen added.
“Consider problem solving to any issue and the truth will present itself in a difficult concept, compromise. Seek truth avoid a version of truth.”
The actor’s post comes after Trump was shot by a “bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at a Trump ally from a nearby roof with a direct line of sight to the former president.
Corey Comperatore, a former Pennsylvania fire chief, was killed after he “threw” his wife and daughter to the ground in an attempt to protect them when former President Trump was shot. Two other individuals were injured in the incident.
The actor has been known to be outspoken regarding woke culture and political correctness.
In November 2022, Allen explained that he had fought to have “Christ” put back into “Christmas” for Disney’s limited series The Santa Clauses.
Allen also took a jab at the so-called “woke” community in a post on X, questioning, “Who is the face of woke? Do wokees have a club house in someone’s backyard or maybe a cute yet safe playpen somewhere?”
The actor also joked about President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline in a post on X in September 2022, writing, “Biden was on 60 minutes. I heard he asked how long the show was.”
