Appearing on an Israeli radio program, Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling American novelist Michael Chabon said he has a daily fantasy that hasn’t come true: that President Trump would suffer a “massive stroke” and be “carted out of the White House on a gurney.”

Morning radio host Goel Pinto prompted Chabon to share his views on Donald Trump. The author held nothing back:

“Every morning I wake up and in the seconds before I turn my phone on to see what the latest news is, I have this boundless sense of optimism and hope that this is the day that he is going to have a massive stroke, and, you know, be carted out of the White House on a gurney. And every day so far, I have been disappointed in that hope. But, you know, hope springs eternal. He’s an old guy, he doesn’t eat well, he’s overweight. He has terrible nutrition. He doesn’t exercise and it is that not that hard to imagine.”

Breitbart Jerusalem spoke with Pinto, who gasped into the microphone, about his thoughts after the interview:

“At the beginning, I was sure he was joking, but when I realized he was serious, I understood the harshness of his words, and how much America is divided.”

Chabon, a resident of Berkeley, California, is published through Harper Collins. He is also avidly against Israel’s “occupation” of the West Bank and has published a book on the topic.
