Do Democrats Still Love Johnny Depp? After Publicly Denouncing Trump, Liberal Favorite Faces Abuse Allegations

Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has shared a curious connection with Johnny Depp these days. The eccentric actor portrayed Trump in Funny or Die’s film “The Art of the Deal,” a satire based on Trump’s 1987 book of the same name.

The movie debuted in February of 2016 to rave reviews across party lines for its hilariously over-the-top depiction of the real estate mogul. Progressive Democrats ate up the scathing satire, while Republicans laughed mockingly as Hollywood continues its pathetic pandering to the liberal left.

Still, the 50-minute film, fashioned like a cheesy 80’s movie of the week, didn’t cause the serious stir that producers were clearly going for.

While Depp’s an impressive actor, his real world comments have carried more weight amidst the intensifying showdown between frontrunners Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

At a red carpet event for his latest blockbuster Alice Through the Looking Glass, the 52-year-old heartthrob made very pointed comments about Trump and what he truly thinks of him. In denouncing the Republican favorite, Depp became Democrats’ darling overnight.

“If Donald Trump is elected president of the United States, in a kind of historical way, it’s just exciting because we will see the actual last president of the United States,” Depp stated.

Is that a death threat? The bizarre actor later clarified, “It just won’t work after that.”

A look at Depp’s earlier statements on the GOP frontrunner also clarifies his liberal stance. He’s publicly labeled Trump as some kind of apocalyptic nightmare who’s going to destroy the United States if elected.

He’s even taken jabs at The Donald’s personality and intelligence, despite the fact that Depp made a pretty penny portraying him in the “Art” film.

As expected, liberal media ate up the controversial comments, happy to have another high profile celeb on their side of the party lines.

But way before Trump even entered the picture, Johnny Depp and his strange public persona embodied everything there is to hate about liberal Hollywood. A pronounced atheist, Depp is known for his unconventional clothing, generally bizarre behavior, and a history of dating big names in the industry.

The problem, though, is that there’s something inherently dishonest about a millionaire who plays the wannabe bohemian. Depp’s dirty, grungy, avant-garde look and persona are only so believable when he’s reaping all the glamorous benefits of starring in America’s biggest blockbusters.

Depp’s personal life has also been cause for conservative debate. After what could have been a lifelong union with European singer/model Vanessa Paradis, he left the mother of his two children for twenty-something actress Amber Heard.

Having never officially wed Paradis throughout their 14 year relationship, his decision to get hitched to the young up-and-coming star after hardly three years of dating was unusual, if not disappointing.

Furthermore, the A-lister has long denied his pro-European views that put him at odds with the very nation that has made him rich and famous.

Choosing to reside overseas for long stretches of time, the expatriate has a love affair with France, although he still retains his American citizenship.

In an interview, Depp once said, “America is dumb. Something like a dumb puppy that has big teeth, that can bite and hurt you…aggressive.” And while he’s never declared his affiliation with any particular political party, Depp’s public comments have all been consistent with a classic liberal agenda.

While speaking about his portrayal of Trump in the “The Art of the Deal” earlier this year, Depp referred to the presidential hopeful as an obstinate child, riling progressive hearts with the perfectly placed reference to bullying:

“I approached Donald Trump as what you kind of see in him when you really watch him. There’s something…about him in the sense of bullydom. But what he is, I believe, is a brat.”

In response to the negative attack, Trump played it cool, acknowledging Depp’s incredible talent: “I know the business. I know the game, and I’m not offended.”

Considering his political commentary over the years, liberal sympathizers and the general media have long adored Depp. But forget about the actor’s strange views and whacky style.

Perhaps his intentions are genuine, and for all his progressive ideals, Depp’s not running for office any time soon. Given recent headlines, though, it wouldn’t be fair to let Depp’s democratic army off so easily.

When Johnny made those comments about Trump over the past few months, news sites and popular liberal bloggers published article after article commending the Pirates of the Caribbean star.

Now that Depp is entrenched in a huge domestic violence controversy with his soon-to-be ex-wife Amber Heard, those very same voices have gone radio silent.

The thing is, Democrats love to paint Republicans as dumb, violent, wife-beating rednecks who hate women. The misogynistic label has certainly been assigned to Trump, with many major news outlets dredging up past stories of the candidate’s marital issues and Miss USA pageant drama.

So now that Johnny Depp is the poster child for domestic violence, where’s the outcry?

Revelations in the Depp/Heard breakup continue to come up each day, but here are the quasi-facts. On May 23rd of this year, Amber filed divorce documents, requesting spousal support.

Gossip hounds gasped at the detail that Depp’s beloved mother had passed away just days before the separation.

Shortly thereafter, Heard requested a restraining order from her husband and claimed spousal abuse. Leaking bruised and battered photos to the media, Amber revealed that she had been a victim of a drugged, drunken Johnny’s violent attacks.

Those closely following the story also learned that the police had been called to the couple’s residence on May 21st, but LAPD insisted there were no signs of abuse or violence when they spoke with Amber.

Furthermore, Johnny’s ex-wife, children, and many of his friends have come forward to defend the soft-spoken star. From doctored texts and pictures to their assistants’ insider scoop, the pair’s fallout has been dramatic, to say the least.

It’s way too early in the scandal to determine if Depp is guilty of the heinous crimes accused by Heard. In fact, many sources are spinning the story in a way as to paint Heard as a spoiled millennial, a narcissist who’s simply out for Depp’s money and is exacting revenge amidst their breakup.

Separated by 22 years, the couple obviously had some huge differences from the start.

But it’s never too early to ask diehard Democrats—what do you say now?

Regardless of what truly happened, will bleeding liberals forgive a man who is clearly caught up in a situation that no sane, moral individual would ever have to face? Who will come to Johnny’s defense?

Time will tell, as it always does. But right now, Donald Trump is smiling somewhere with the satisfaction knowing the liberal lunatic stumbled into his own demise.
