"Howard was a gentleman though" — Internet reacts to Lea Thompson saying she finds Trump "weird" despite having shot love scene with a duck

American actress and singer Lea Thompson took to X on August 9, 2024, to comment on Donald Trump's latest speech at Mar-a-Lago, Florida. In his speech, Trump mentioned that he wanted to partake in three debates against opponent Kamala Harris, claiming world war might occur if he didn't become president, and criticized Kamala Harris on multiple counts.

Lea Thompson tweeted a video by American activist David Hogg who questioned what Trump was even saying at this Mar-a-Lago speech and claimed he is "unfit to be president". Sharing the video, Lea referred to her love-making scene with a duck in the movie Howard The Duck:

"I find this man super weird and I did a love scene with a duck. #trumpmeltdown"

Internet users were quick to respond to Lea's tweet and expressed their opinion on the same via X wherein one of the fans made a satirical remark comparing Howard the duck from Lea's movie to Donald Trump:

"Howard was a gentleman though. Well, he had good intentions."

Here are some other reactions:

"You’re a national treasure. 💙" a fan tweeted complimenting the actress' statement.

"I remember that scene, it wasn’t anywhere nearly as weird as this idiot (and he’s not even acting), tweeted another one.

"Oh Lea 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I needed that!!!" an X user commented on Lea's tweet.

"This is the greatest tweet of the day. 😂😂😂😂😂" another X user tweeted.

Additionally, some internet users expressed concern for Trump under the Back To The Future actress' tweet:

"He's so old and senile. Alzheimers? Dementia? Who's making him keep campaigning? It's elder abuse. Sad!" an internet user stated.

"He sounds extremely drugged. He can't put two sentences together to make a coherent thought or statement. Not only is the man weird, the man is deeply sick with either dementia or Alzheimer's, but he's not all there" another internet user tweeted.

Some people also expressed their opinions about the actress.

"Nobody cares what you think. You act for a living, and not well," said one user.

"Another washed up movie actress trying to stay relevant," tweeted another.

"We find your opinions weird," commented other.

"It’s probably because he has stiffed the hardworking venues so many times"— Lea Thompson comments on Trump's Montana rally

Lea Thompson is one of the celebrities who are active on social media expressing their opinions on the ongoing 2024 Presidential election campaigns. Her criticism of Trump on her X account time and again indicates that the actress might be supporting Kamala Harris.

In a recent instance, the Red Dawn actress took to X to criticize Donald Trump's appearance at Bozeman, Montana on August 9, 2024. The rally underwent mechanical issues and Trump was 25 minutes late to the venue due to a diverted landing, so the staff played Celine Dion music videos to distract the crowd.

Sharing a video of the same via another X user, Lea Thompson remarked that it was the best thing she ever saw, taking a dig at Trump stating "the titanic theme in Montana as they wait". Additionally, she also mentioned #TrumpIsNotFitToBePresident in her tweet.

Moreover, in another tweet on the same day, Lea Thompson added information at her end about the Montana rally and stated:

"Literally they were playing send in the clowns outside as people were entering. It’s probably because he has stiffed the hardworking venues so many times. The music guy was getting back at him."
