Chris Meloni slammed Donald Trump
Chris Meloni has shared his support for the No Kings protests that took place across America as he spoke out against Donald Trump.
The actor, who played Detective Elliot Stabler on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, took to X to slam the president after George Santos was released from prison. The disgraced former representative was sentenced to seven years in jail after being convicted of 23 counts of identity theft and wire fraud, but Trump commuted his sentence.
Responding to the news, Meloni warned, “POTUS is a clear and present danger to America.” He also shared a screenshot of a post about the No Kings protest with a sarcastic comment, jokingly warning fans to “be careful.”

“These “anti-American, anti- capitalism Antifa” types seem to be masquerading as law abiding, concerned, patriotic Americans using their voice to protest the grift, ineptitude, cruelty, and lawlessness of this admin. #stayalert,” Meloni posted.

One person criticized Meloni’s comments, writing, “Why is he a danger? Is it because he stopped the invasion over our southern border? Is it that he is bringing manufacturing investment to the US? Is it the peace deals or getting hostages released? Is it helping hourly employees by eliminating taxes on tips and OT?”
However, the actor didn’t back down. “No it’s the enjoyment of cruelty, breaking of norms, the normalizing of open grifting, the lies, incompetence, malignant narcissism, the attempted insurrection, authoritarianism, the sucking up to Putin,” he shot back.
Meloni added, “So even tho a point or two of urs is kinda valid, the stuff I see outweighs it.” The TV star was supported by fans for speaking out against the Trump administration.

“It was a great day!” one fan wrote as they shared pictures of their protest signs which read, “Voices NOT Silence,” and “NO ‘Faux-King’ WAY.”
Someone else commented, “A-men Sir!!! Darn I wish I could have been at one! Irish so…No unfortunately…buuutt….I was cheering all day for them!” A third person posted, “Love you Stabler & Fin @FINALLEVEL… BOTH respectable Americans above anything else. Thank you for using your platforms for GOOD.”
Meloni wasn’t the only celebrity supporting the No Kings protests. Horror author Stephen King took to X to share a post from Mike Johnson who wrote, “It turns out the “Hate America” Rallies tomorrow are being funded by the billionaire who hates America the MOST. Anyone surprised?”
King shot back, “They are actually Love America rallies, Mike. Ordinary people, man, trying to save the country from a despot.” Pedro Pascal, Jamie Lee Curtis and Glenn Close also turned up in person to support the protests.
