Actor and comedian Tim Allen recently said that he liked that President Donald Trump incited anger in his critics.<\/p>\n
\"Once I realized the last president pissed people off, I kinda liked that,\" the 67-year-old \"Last Man Standing\" star said during an appearance on Monday's episode of \"WTF With Marc Maron.\"<\/p>\n
He continued, \"It was fun to just not say anything. Didn't join in the lynching crowd.\"<\/p>\n
Allen went on to say that he personally knew Billand Hillary Clinton ahead of the 2016 presidential election, calling the former US president a \"genuinely nice guy.\"<\/p>\n
He added that he \"just didn't think that Hillary should've been president,\" saying that there was \"nothing personal\" about his opinion.<\/p>\n
The actor referred to himself as a \"fiscal conservative\" as a result of his long-standing dislike for paying taxes.<\/p>\n
\"Once I started making money, I had this silent partner that just took almost half of my money and never gave me anything for it. That's taxes. I've never liked taxes,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Allen added that he doesn't try to inflict his political views on others.<\/p>\n
\"I literally don't preach anything. What I've done is I've just not joined into, as I call it, the 'we culture.' I'm not telling anybody else how to live. I don't like that,\" he explained.<\/p>\n
Following Allen's interview with Maron, his name began trending on Twitter as a result of his comments about Trump. However, it wasn't the first time he's spoken about the former president.<\/p>\n
In 2016, he called Hollywood liberals \"hypocritical\" for condemning Trump as a \"bully\" during a visit to Fox News' \"The Kelly File.\"<\/p>\n
\"What I find odd in Hollywood is that they didn't like Trump because he was a bully,\" he said. \"But if you had any kind of inkling that you were for Trump, you got bullied for doing that. And that's where this gets a little hypocritical to me.\"<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The comedian has also attended Trump's inauguration in January 2017 and described his experience on \"Jimmy Kimmel Live!\" months after.<\/p>\n
\"I was invited. We did a VIP thing for the vets, and went to a veterans ball, so I went to go see Democrats and Republicans,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Allen told the host then that he had to be \"careful\" talking about his decision to attend the event, likening being a conservative in Hollywood to living in 1930s Germany.<\/p>\n
\"You get beat up if you don't believe what everybody believes. This is like '30s Germany. I don't know what happened. If you're not part of the group, 'You know what we believe is right,' I go, 'Well, I might have a problem with that.' I'm a comedian, I like going on both sides,\" he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
