Jim Carrey: My Trump cartoons are response to ‘nightmare’

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Jim Carrey says his cartoons pillorying the Trump administration are a civilized response to what he called an unfolding “nightmare.”

Carrey told a TV critics’ meeting Monday that his sketches may veer into crassness but are a creative way to express his political opposition.

He stars in the new Showtime series “Kidding,” about a children’s TV host hit by a family tragedy, which debuts Sept. 9.

Those who have gotten the Carrey cartoon treatment include President Donald Trump and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
