Alec talks about the political scenario in the USA

The actor received an Emmy for his great portrayal of President Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live. Talking about the scenario of modern politics and modern-day politicians, Alec admitted:

“None of them are losing sleep over anything other than their political power and their fundraising.”

“Public office is a means of completing themselves.”

Politicians are not concerned about the true welfare of their people. They assume office and weld power but do nothing substantial for the citizens residing in their constituency.

Rob, 56 said:

‘The people that I was always drawn to – the consensus builders and the people who could reach across the aisle, the stories of Tip O’Neill and [Ronald] Reagan battling and cursing each other and then going and having a whiskey and cutting a deal in the cloakrooms – that just doesn’t exist anymore,’

On an earlier occasion, Alec had talked about Joe Biden and compared him with Ronald Reagan. He said:

‘My concern about Biden is – is he our Reagan? Is he the Democratic Ronald Reagan? Older,’
‘People have been making all kinds of comments about him in terms of his age, and with the Republicans, it didn’t matter.’
‘They were like, “Ronald Reagan has got six Hollywood anecdotes he could tell. That’s good enough for us, let’s get him out there.”‘
