"He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator," Stephen Hawking said of Donald Trump in May. The famed scientist then went on to lead a group of more than 300 of his peers in writing a letter of warning about a potential Trump presidency, reading, "It is of great concern that the Republican nominee for President has advocated U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Accord. A 'Parexit' would send a clear signal to the rest of the world: 'The United States does not care about the global problem of human-caused climate change. You are on your own.'"

Richard Gere compared Donald Trump to a dictator, telling the Evening Standard in March of the politician, "Here's a guy who's obviously Mussolini, how is it possible that people would be supporting this guy? You can try to find reasons. It's about how disillusioned they are, how afraid, how confused. [Trump] is a demagogue, a clown — but people like clarity. Here's this guy who says, 'I'm going to fix this problem for you. It doesn't matter how, I'll just take care of it'. He's finding villains everywhere and then telling people he'll get rid of them."

While Mac Miller topped charts in 2011 with his single "Donald Trump," the rapper made his distaste for Trump known in March. He stopped by The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore, saying in a monologue, "I only have one thing to say: I f—ing hate you, Donald Trump. So you wanted to sue me, but then you realized you can't sue somebody just for being super talented and incredibly good-looking. You say you want to make America great again but we all know what that really means: Ban Muslims, Mexicans are racist, black lives don't matter. Make America great again? I think you want to make America white again. I come here today as a white man with the hope that maybe you'll listen to me. In other words, let me 'white-splain' this to you, you racist son of a bitch."

"You see, you're lowering the bar for our nation's intelligence," Miller continued. "Your only goal is to stay in the spotlight no matter how much it fuels the fire of hate groups that you apparently know nothing about, like the KKK and neo-Nazis. You have people at your rallies who openly assault black teenage girls because hey, that's American. The messed up thing is, I don't really know if you're evil. I think you're just such an egomaniacal attention-thirsty psychopathic power-hungry delusional waste of skin and bones that you'll do, say, or allow anything if it means you'll just get one more minute in the limelight."

"The thing is it says more about us as a country," he added. "We're finally showing our true colors. Not only are we letting this bulls--t lie, there's motherf--ker supporting you. If we're stupid enough to elect you, I know exactly what everybody's gonna say: 'I'm moving to Canada. I don't want to live in a country where Donald Trump is president. I'm getting out of here.' You know what I'm gonna do if you get elected? I'm staying right the f--k here. That's right. I'm not going anywhere! I'm gonna be here everyday telling the world how much I hate you, how much of a clown you are and how we as a nation are better than you'll ever be as a racist f--kwad of a human because I love America and I'm never giving it up to a troll like you, you bitch!"

Impersonating the infamous leader, she said as Hitler, "I agree with a lot he says – a lot... Like 90 percent of what he says, I'm like, 'This guy gets it.' But I just don't like the way he says it. It's crass. What kind of person talks about his penis size on national television?"

The Suicide Squad actor weighed in on Donald Trump in an interview with Australian news outlet news.come.au. "For a man to be able to publicly refer to a woman as a fat pig, that makes me teary," he told the publication. "And for people to applaud, that is absolutely f--king insanity to me... My grandmother would have smacked my teeth out of my head if I had referred to a woman as a fat pig. And I cannot understand how people can clap for that. It's absolutely collective insanity. If one of my sons, I am getting furious just thinking about it, if one of my sons said that in a public place, they couldn't even live in my house anymore... For me, deep down in my heart, I believe that America won't and we can't [elect Mr Trump]."

Barbra Streisand took time out of her concert at Los Angeles' Staples Center to address Trump. "It's funny that I always seem to go on these little tours during election seasons, and this one is a doozy, isn't it?" she told the crowd. "[Trump's] putting his foot in his mouth every day now, so I'm so happy... Our genetic makeup is 99.9 percent identical to every other person on the face of the earth. Isn't that incredible? The other .1 percent is Donald Trump... I hope that in a few months I'll be singing it for the next President Clinton."

The musicians of Wavves took a stand in July, releasing a list via Twitter of attendees not welcome at their shows. This group included supporters of Donald Trump, because said people "basically" intertwine with "three or four" of their "aforementioned" banned groups, which, in light of the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, included people who "ever said or supported #alllivesmatter," people who have "gone out [their] way to defend police in America," people who "ever even thought a victim of rape had it coming," and people who "harbor resentment [toward] the homosexual community in any way."

Noah has used Trump's campaign as fodder for The Daily Show, often calling out the presidential hopeful for his social media antics. "Look, Trump, retweet something once and say it was a mix-up. Retweet it twice, you say that you're bad at Twitter. But, at some point, you're just racist," he said of Trump's habit of retweeting racist messages in July. "You may be trying to dog whistle to a certain group of your people, but you understand that your message is getting through to all of us. It's a normal whistle and it's racist as s—."

When it comes to race relations, he's like an old-school segregationist. When it comes to foreign policy, he's like an old-school napalm-ist. When it comes to women's issues, he's like a frat-house rapist. So let's not elect that guy."

Meyers, who banned Donald Trump from Late Night, continues to rib the candidate on his talk show. He joked in June, "Donald, today's your lucky day. If you drop out of the presidential race anytime between now and the beginning of the GOP Convention on July 18, NBC will award you a 13-episode scripted series where you would play the President of the United States of America. Now I want to be clear, I have not run this by anyone at the network, but they put our show on every night, so I can't imagine they're going to say no to yours. They're not picky... A lot of what you want to do is impossible in the real world, but on TV, we just need to build a tiny part of the wall, and we can just CGI the rest."

Charlie Sheen made his stance on Trump known in June, explaining on The Graham Norton Show, "I was at a dinner with my ex-wife Brooke [Mueller] and her family, and about halfway through I noticed Donald staring at my watch. He says, 'I want to give you an early wedding gift as a gesture from me and Melania' — and she doesn't say a word; she's very sweet and very pretty but she just kind of sits there. Anyhow, so he says 'These are platinum diamond Harry Winston' and he pulls off his cufflinks and he gives them to me... Smashcut to about six months later, I had some jewelry getting appraised at the house. She took the loop, spent about four seconds, and kind of recoiled from it — much like people do from Trump — and 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, that he said, 'Here's a great wedding gift,' and it's just a bag of dog sh–?'"

A group of writers, including Stephen King, Cheryl Strayed, and Dave Eggers, signed a petition in June titled "Writers on Trump." The piece included a message reading, "As writers, we are particularly aware of the many ways that language can be abused in the name of power... The rise of a political candidate who deliberately appeals to the basest and most violent elements in society, who encourages aggression among his followers, shouts down opponents, intimidates dissenters, and denigrates women and minorities, demands, from each of us, an immediate and forceful response."

The truth of the matter is, in election season, things go crazy, and the loudest voices are the furthest and most extreme. So you hear a massively stupid idea, like we're going to ban Muslims from the country. Now, we're not ever going to do that. It says in the Statue of Liberty, bring us your huddled masses. It's not what's going to happen."

Colbert has repeatedly dinged Trump on Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and went a step further in July, crashing the RNC convention to compare the campaign season to The Hunger Games. The comedian recognized that "he's not supposed to be up here," adding, "But to be honest, neither is Donald Trump."

Sarandon had words for Trump in January, saying of the candidate, "He reminds me of a drunk uncle at a wedding, who gets up and starts talking and just loves the crowd and just goes on and on and on and says whatever he can to get a reaction. He's like a figure from a Kurt Vonnegut novel; I can't even address him seriously."

Oliver took on Trump in February, saying, "At this point, Donald Trump is America's back mole: It may have seemed harmless a year ago, but now that it's gotten frighteningly bigger, it is no longer wise to ignore it... You are either racist or you are pretending to be, and at some point, there is no difference there."

Sorkin gave his thoughts on Trump in December, saying in an interview with The Frame, "Writing something about Donald Trump would be extremely difficult. Donald Trump may be the end of political satire."
