Jennifer Lawrence says Donald Trump as president would be "end of the world"

We know who won't be getting Jennifer Lawrence's vote for the 2016 presidential election: Donald Trump.

The "Hunger Games" actress said Trump as president would be "the end of the world," she told Entertainment Weekly during an interview about "Mockingjay 2."

Co-star Liam Hemsworth agreed: "I'll back you up on that."

This is coming from the actors who face off the tyrannical President Snow in the "Hunger Games."

But the two actors, along with Josh Hutcherson, said they think it may all be a publicity stunt.

"It can't be real," said Hutcherson.

Lawrence joked that perhaps Hillary Clinton is pulling the strings behind Trump's campaign.

"I genuinely believe that reality television has reached the ultimate place where now even things like this might just be for entertainment," said Lawrence. "It's either that or it's Hillary's brilliant idea."

Lawrence said she is put off that people appreciate Trump's unfiltered persona.

"I was watching him on the campaign trail and one guy said, 'I love Donald Trump because he's saying everything I'm thinking and I just can't say it because of the PC factor,'" she explained. "And I'm thinking, 'You are absolutely right. That's who I want representing my country, somebody politically incorrect. That will just be perfect.'"

Maybe Lawrence and Amy Schumer can run together in 2020, against Kanye West and Taylor Swift.
