'Essence of fascism': Soap star unloads on 'orange idiot' Trump after evacuating home

A soap opera actor unloaded on Donald Trump during an interview with CNN after evacuating his California home as wildfires approached.

Eric Braeden, the 83-year-old "Young and the Restless" star, appeared on the network after posting dramatic video on his Instagram account showing him flee his home as the flames advanced on his property, and he told host Laura Coates the fires were the most terrifying he had experienced in over 40 years in the area.

“It’s the price we pay for living in this beautiful area,” Braeden said.
