It’s probably fairly safe to say that Charlie Sheen is not Donald Trump’s biggest fan – in fact, the 59-year-old actor isn’t a fan of the US president at all, and explained his reason during a guest visit to the Graham Norton Show in 2016.
When the chat moved to the subject of the 2016 presidential election, Sheen remembered casually bumping into Trump and Melania at a dinner party.
Trump intrigued by Charlie Sheen’s watch
“I am reminded of a time, about five years ago, I was at a dinner with my ex-wife Brooke [Mueller] and her family and this and that. And about halfway through, I noticed Donald staring at my watch! And so he started saying, ‘You know, listen, I’m sorry that I wasn’t invited to your wedding, this and that – sorry, I can’t make your wedding’ (under breath: ”I didn’t invite you…“).
“So he says, but I wanna give you an early wedding gift as a gesture from me and Melania’. Sheen continued. ”And she doesn’t say a word, she’s very sweet, very pretty but just kind of sits there…
“Anyhow, so he says, ‘These are platinum diamond Harry Winston‚’ and he pulls off his cuff-links, and he gives them to me… And so I’m like, ‘Oh gosh, Mr Trump you really shouldn’t do this’. And goes, ‘No, no, it’s the least I can do and have a great marriage’ and all that. Little did he know…
Sheen gets Trump’s Harry Winstons appraised
“So, smashcut to about six months later, I had some jewelry getting appraised at the house and she finished and was leaving, and I said, ‘Oh, y’know, there’s another couple of pieces that I have that I’m very curious about, would you mind appraising these?’
“She said, no, what are they? I explained the dinner and this and that, and these are from Donald Trump. Harry Winston, flawless Ds, platinum… She took the loupe, spent about four seconds, and kind of recoiled from it (aside: ‘much like people do from Trump’); so she says ‘In their finest moment, this is cheap pewter and bad zirconias – and they’re stamped ‘Trump’ …and I just thought, ‘What does this really say about the man, y’know? That he said, ‘Here’s a great wedding gift,’ and it’s just a bag of dog shit!
Sheen went on to elaborate, with a question relating to the upcoming presidential election in which Trump would go head-to-head with Hillary Clinton: “Is that the laughter I can hear coming from across the pond at our country about this charlatan? But I have faith that good and decent people will make the right choice… and the circus will leave town before it contaminates the Oval Office”.
