00:00Josh Brolin says he's not scared of Donald Trump trying to run for a third term.

00:04It's just not going to happen.

00:06Josh Brolin says he has no regrets about his past friendship with President Donald Trump.

00:12He reflected on their long-standing connection in a November 29th interview.

00:16I'm not scared of Trump, because even though he says he's staying forever,

00:20it's just not going to happen, Brolin explained to The Independent.

00:23And if it does, then I'll deal with that moment.

00:26But having been a friend of Trump before he was president, I know a different guy, the Marvel star went on.

00:32The two first met in 2010 while Brolin was filming Wall Street.

00:36Money never sleeps, and Trump even shot a scene for the movie that ultimately wasn't used.

00:41Despite Brolin's statements, he also praised the businessman, saying he's brilliant when it comes to marketing.

00:47There is no greater genius than Trump in marketing, the Goonies alum said.

00:51He takes the weakness of the general population and fills it.

00:54And that's why I think a lot of people feel that they have a mascot in him.

00:59I think it's much less about Trump than it is about the general population and their need for validation, Brolin added.

01:06Josh Brolin said he was a fan of Donald Trump in 2016.

01:10Brolin previously mentioned Trump on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2016,

01:15saying he had read a lot of Trump's books and was a big fan.

01:19He single-handedly turned around the economy of Manhattan, Brolin explained.

01:22I found that very fascinating.

01:25I think he's an interesting guy in that way.

01:28However, the Academy Award-nominated actor slammed Trump when he was running for president for his second term in 2020.

01:35He wrote a long-winded Instagram post at the time to express his displeasure with former The Apprentice host.

01:40I refuse to believe that Donald Trump is our core version of American masculinity, Brolin penned.

01:47The America that was great was never based on creating hate and conspiracy in order to win.

01:52There have been a few, but none has lasted.

01:55Donald Trump has lied over 50,000 documented times,

01:58but we still are willing to let it go because he speaks to an American demographic that no longer felt masculine.

02:03Let it go.

02:19Let it go.
