The actor is refusing to apologise

The Two and a Half Men actor is in trouble once again.

Charlie Sheen is surely no stranger to airing his thoughts and courting controversy but it seems his latest tirade is not going down well with people.

Following the sudden death of Hollywood star Debbie Reynolds and the growing trend of celebrity deaths in 2016, the 51-year-old has tweeted asking God to take Trump.

The actor tweeted yesterday:

Despite the public’s apparent disapproval of Trump being elected, followers were quick to point out that wishing for someone’s death is truly evil.

Following the outcry, Charlie took to Twitter to once more but remained unapologetic, standing by his ill wishes for the President Elect.

The actor wrote a note reading:

“The media’s reaction to last night’s tweet is inanely emblematic of the panoramic timorousness, draped vastly and wantonly, across any and all expressions of hope or joy that we now dare to publish or impart.”

“Oh, and by the way, I was talking to God, not you.”
