Donald Trump was the inspiration for Will Smith's portrayal of Deadshot in 'Suicide Squad'

Will Smith, who plays the assassin Deadshot in the new movie Suicide Squad has a new target: Republican Party Nominee Mr Donald Trump. ![deadshot](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/deadshot.jpg) Talking about the inspiration for his role, Smith spoke to  Access Hollywood about the mental transformation he had to go through to play a bad guy. He joked about how he was inspired by Trump, “What makes someone evil is they don’t think they are evil… They actually think it’s okay to call a woman a fat pig on television. They think it’s OK.” Smith was referring to Trump calling Rosie O’Donnell a ‘fat pig’ during a republican debate. In another interview published by news.com.au he further commented on the incident stating, “For a man to be able to publicly refer to a woman as a fat pig, that makes me teary. 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.” He further added, “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.” He also talked about the rising wave of xenophobia while promoting Suicide Squad, emphasizing on the importance of leaders to help people remain calm and collected. Trump, in his opinion adds to the xenophobia instead of helping people overcome it. Some other recipients of Trump’s misogynist rants include the likes of Arianna Huffington, Bette Midler and of course his rival Hilary Clinton. The Suicide Squad star also highlighted other offensive comments made by Trump, but his views on women were “such an absolute illustration of a darkness of his soul.” But Smith stated that he is confident that Trump won’t be elected President because he says, “I have faith in America. America has had really critical times but the good (people) tend to make their way to the top.”
