Actor Morgan Freeman says that while he hopes President Trump turns out to be a good commander in chief, it feels like the nation is "jumping off a cliff."

"As for politics today, I supported Hillary in the election, and now it feels like we are jumping off a cliff," Freeman told AARP The Magazine, according to an excerpt provided to The Daily Mail.

"We just have to find out how we land. I'm not scared, though," he continued.

"I'm holding out hope that Donald Trump has to be a good president. He can't not be. What I see is a guy who will not lose."

The interview was conducted before the president last week signed a sweeping executive order barring refugees and people from seven predominately Muslim countries from entering the U.S. 

During the presidential campaign, Freeman supported and voiced ads for former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

In one ad, he referred to Clinton as someone who has "always stood with us." The ad touched on gun violence and death in police custody in addition to Clinton's work in the Obama administration. 

Freeman also in the past narrated a 2012 reelection campaign ad for former President Obama.
