Jeff Daniels revives 'The Newsroom's Will McAvoy to rant about Trump

In an election cycle where Donald Trump dominates the media and is well on his way to winning the Republican nomination, we are in dire need of a media figure naysayer to tell us what's up. And a fictional one will just have to do.

In an interview with Bloomberg Politics, Jeff Daniels, who played the holier-than-thou ACN anchor Will McAvoy on Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom, is grilled by reporters on his thoughts on the 2016 elections and Trump. Fed up, he lashes out at them and Trump in an almost play-by-play of his famous monologue at the start of the series.

Daniels/McAvoy has an epiphany when the Bloomberg hosts bring up Donald Trump, asking him what makes Trump the best-case scenario for Hillary Clinton.

"Yeah, Donald Trump is a fact-bending loose cannon who alienates mainstream voters with everything he says, but he gets constant media channel for free," Daniels says. "And with a straight face, you're going to tell me that electing a female president is unprecedented?"

Despite the (uncharacteristic) brushing aside of his comments by the reporters, he continues and ends with the whammy, "So when you ask, 'what makes Trump the best-case scenario for Hillary?' I don't know what the (expletive) you're talking about. His tiny hands?"
