Actor Stephen Baldwin has twice been “fired” by Donald Trump, but he would still like Trump to be the leader of the free world.
Baldwin, who took part in Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice” reality shows in 2008 and 2013, told KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland that the billionaire would be a great president.
“I just think he’s bringing a new level of real and truth to this whole thing,” Baldwin said.

Baldwin called Trump a global icon who has been brilliant at branding himself. He says Trump won’t get pushed around like many politicians do.
“I love Trump because he doesn’t care,” Baldwin said. “He’s going to do what he feels is right and what’s in the best interest of the country and of the people. We already know he’s proven to be successful in business. He could probably fix up this economy quicker than anybody thinks, help make the reality of this country and how un-secure we are against terrorism, I think he can improve upon that.”
