Katniss Everdeen has a very strong disdain for President Snow, and it looks like the real-life Katniss, Jennifer Lawrence, feels just as strongly about a certain politician eyeing the presidency: Donald Trump.

While promoting The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part 2, she, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson talked to Entertainment Weekly where they landed on the GOP hopeful, and all opened up about their feelings about his potential candidacy. Lawrence, however, made it clear that she vehemently opposes the real estate mogul.

"If Donald Trump becomes president, that will be the end of the world," she said.

Hemsworth, who plays her are-they-or-aren't-they love interest in the franchise, echoed her sentiments. "I'll back you up on that," he added.

Hutcherson, on the other hand, remained in disbelief over the fact that the businessman is seriously going for it—and giving it his all. "It's a publicity stunt," he said. "It can't be real." 

Upon hearing Peeta's Hutcherson's response, Lawrence agreed that she, too, couldn't understand how Trump is legitimately running for office. Like Hutcherson, she doesn't quite believe it either and is even suggesting some conspiracy theories.

"I genuinely believe that reality television has reached the ultimate place where now even things like this might just be for entertainment," Lawrence explained. "It's either that, or it's Hillary's brilliant idea."

She also didn't quite understand some of the world's fascination with Trump.

"I was watching him on the campaign trail and one guy said, 'I love Donald Trump because he's saying everything I'm thinking and I just can't say it because of the PC factor,'" she recalled. "And I'm thinking, 'You are absolutely right. That's who I want representing my country, somebody politically incorrect. That will just be perfect.'"

It doesn't seem like you have Lawrence's vote, Trump.
