Russell Wilson Talks Trump: 'This Thing's Getting Out of Hand'

RENTON, WA - Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was captured on video Tuesday talking politics - and it sounds like the first 10 days of Donald Trump's presidency are making him uneasy.

Wilson made the comments while he was getting a haircut before appearing on the Conan O'Brien show. He was broadcasting on Facebook live at the time, and the video was later posted on Twitter.

In the video, Wilson says, "Everybody has the right to choose who they want to vote for, but this thing's getting out of hand. It's getting out of hand, people. Just so you know, I voted for Hillary. When you think about, it's only been what, two weeks? Or even less? We've got to attack this issue here. Basically I think when you think about all the negativity that's happened within a 10-day period or however many days it's been, it's already too much. It's already crazy."

He continues: "And I know from even my own faith, the Christian faith, we still have to love everybody. We still have to. No matter what our issues are, we still have to find ways to love people and care for people. And so I think that's the thing that's been crazy already.

Then, Wilson ponders how long Trump might stick around.

"I don't even know if he's going to be able to last four years, in my opinion. You don't want to wish bad upon anybody, because if he doesn't last four years, that means that something went wrong."

Toward the end of his political remarks, he says, "Come back, Barack!"
