Jim Carrey Calls Trump the ‘New King of Lies’ Mocking His Supporters in a New Poem
Jim Carrey posted a piece of artwork which took a shot at Donald Trump's supporters and called the president the "new king of lies."
The 57-year-old actor took to Twitter recently to share a painting that is very critical of Trump alongside a poem.

"Let’s all drink a toast to the new king of lies, and the minions who help him while democracy dies."
His most recent creation portrays the president in shades and a red cap bearing the message "Make Me God.” He is sitting and holding a microphone as his followers poured what appeared to be a Kool-Aid-like beverage down the throats of a group of people.
Above Trump's head is a word "T" and the American and Russian flags.

The picture is a possible nod to the mass deaths started by cult leader Jim Jones in Jonestown, Guyana. It was accompanied by a poem comparing Trump to Jack, the power-hungry character from the book “Lord of the Flies.”
Carrey's message read: "Let’s all drink a toast to the new king of lies, and the minions who help him while democracy dies, and our kids who’ll be taught that the wicked are wise because Potus was Jack from ‘Lord of The Flies’. How much poison are you willing to swallow?!"
The “Bruce Almighty” star also exposed his political artwork after former vice president Joe Biden declared his bid for the presidency. In his Twitter post, Carrey asked:
“Are Democrats just Biden their time?”
The artwork offered a variation on the “Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes” scene from “The Godfather.” The text in the illustration asked:
“Will Old Glory sleep with the fishes?”
Carrey is best known for being a comedy genius, but he turned into a political critic with his artistic drawings. His work usually includes everybody associated with Trump's organization, and that could prompt a considerable amount of backlash.
However, the actor isn't terrified of going against the system, even if it implies losing fans and followers along the way.
