Jennifer Lawrence Wants to Say Something Really Offensive to Donald Trump

Jennifer Lawrence isn’t one to hold back when it comes to sharing her thoughts on presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Last October, the Hunger Games star told Entertainment Weekly, “If Donald Trump becomes president, that will be the end of the world.… I genuinely believe that reality television has reached the ultimate place where now even things like this might just be for entertainment.”

In the months since that interview, all the other Republican presidential hopefuls have suspended their campaigns. Now that Trump is uncontested to become the Republican nominee, Lawrence revealed on The Graham Norton Show that she has some harsher words in mind for Trump—and she admits she tried to meet him just so she could tell him to his face.

It all started when the show’s host Graham Norton showed a photo of Johnny Depp, who appeared on the show alongside Lawrence, acting as Donald Trump in a Funny or Die skit called “The Art of the Deal.” Lawrence’s reaction was blunt: “I never thought I wanted to kill Johnny Depp before.”

This prompted Norton to ask whether Lawrence has ever met Trump, and the actress detailed a wild story in which she had her security search for Trump at an event so they could meet.

“I was at a concert where I heard he was attending, so I had my full security team, like I was like, ‘Find Donald Trump,'” Lawrence recounted. “I was adamant on finding him and making a video of me going, ‘Hey, Trump, f–k you!'” Lawrence reenacted her flipping Trump off as she had planned and the audience, host and fellow celebrity guests applauded her gesture.

We’re sure there are plenty of people who would love to tell Trump the same thing.
