Watch: Vivica A. Fox Calls Donald Trump an "Absolute Jerk"

Vivica A. Fox admits she used to like Donald Trump.

She says he was an "absolute gentleman" when she was a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice.

But not anymore.

"He's turned into an absolute jerk and I mince no words when I say that," Fox told me earlier today while promoting Independence Day: Resurgence. "The negativity that spews out of him on a constant basis, he has brought reality [television] to politics and I've never seen it go to such a low point that it's went to."

In other words, Fox is supporting Hillary Clinton for president.

"We have to continue that path of progress. Barack Obama is grace under fire," the Kill Bill actress said. "That is what I expect form my leader, the leader of the free world, the president of the United States. They say, 'Oh, [Trump] is going to start acting more presidential.' Well, we haven't seen it yet."

Asked if she thought Trump was racist, Fox said, 'I wouldn't say he's racist...He says he wants to make America great again. In my opinion, he wants to make Republicans great again because their party has suffered a lot of blows.

"I just wish he wouldn't be so misogynistic and insult women and other nationalities," she continued. "There's such craziness going on in the world. We need to figure out a way to unite and unify and come together."
