Foul-mouthed Hollywood actor’s anti-Trump rant at undecided voters backfires spectacularly
A Hollywood comedian cursed and berated undecided voters into supporting Kamala Harris – prompting some to say they are now voting for Trump to spite him.
Billy Eicher, 47, posted a growling video to his Instagram last week, telling his followers: “We can’t resist Donald Trump run this country’.
He raged: “People who say Donald and Kamala, I see young people saying, ‘They’re the same. I hate him, but I don’t know if I can vote for her.’
‘What the hell are you talking about? Please join us.”
But Eicher’s rant, filmed in a luxurious Manhattan room, seemed to have the opposite effect he intended
‘TRUMP IT IS!!! Thanks Billy,” Samuel Sung wrote on TikTok.
A user named Fenue added, “I agree with Billy Trump 2024!!”
Another poster wrote on X, “I just voted with this incredible momentum in California.”
In a video on his Instagram, Eichner urged his followers to vote Democrat, saying: ‘We can’t let Donald Trump rule this country’
In the four-minute video, Eichner said, “It’s still two weeks until the election, I’m getting a lot of texts and a lot of people are panicking. It’s time to panic.’
He continued: “The polls are not good. Let me be blunt: I don’t work for the Kamala campaign.
“I’m just going to call it like I see it, Trump has the momentum….”

In an effort to get people to vote, Eichner added: He’s a nepo baby, an incompetent mother who is mentally falling apart before our eyes, and his voters don’t seem to care. Eichner continued.
“It’s up to the rest of us healthy people to save this country and this economy. Save our most vulnerable citizens. Women who don’t have access to abortions, LGBTQ people.
‘Anyone with half a brain… You can be annoyed with me, but that’s not the point. Everyone has to participate here.
“We can’t let what happened to Hillary happen…”
“He is a threat to the physical safety of American citizens around the world. He’s very, very dangerous and not in the cool way that some of his fanboys think he is, okay.”
Concluding his video, he urged people to vote, convince their friends to do so and to go outside and knock on doors.

JL Partners surveyed 1,000 likely voters from October 26 to 29. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 points, but put Donald Trump back in the lead after falling behind
Another person added: “It is indeed panic time! For them. That said, we shouldn’t take anything for granted.
‘You can never have enough votes. Especially against cheaters like the Democrats.’
Eichner has reason to worry as the latest DailyMail.com poll before Election Day shows Trump has now overtaken Harris.
The former president now has a three-point lead over the current vice president, with Trump drawing support from independents and undecided voters.
New data, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent, shows Trump trending upward, with support at 49 percent to Harris’ 46 percent.

With five days to go, the numbers mean Trump is currently on track to become the first Republican candidate since George W. Bush in 2004 to win the popular vote.
James Johnson, co-founder of JL Partners, said the poll was good news for Trump’s chances of winning the White House.
“The movement beneath the surface suggests that Trump has a better closing moment at generating enthusiasm than Harris, and undecided candidates and outside candidate supporters have also favored Trump in the past month,” he said.
Eichner sparked controversy in 2022 after blaming homophobia for the failure of his gay rom-com Bros.
The film was the first LGBT rom-com produced by a major studio, but was a big hit at the box office despite good reviews.
In a slew of angry tweets, Eicher called out straight people for “not showing up” and suggested that their distaste for homosexuality was to blame for the film’s poor box office returns.
