Tom Hanks labeled the presidential election “crapfest 2016,” but was hopeful that voters would reject Donald Trump while explaining the state of American politics at the Rome Film Festival Thursday.

“It strikes me as ‘Crapfest 2016,’ ” Hanks said, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “Every four years the circus comes to town in the United States. Every four years we decide who’s going to be the leader. Sometimes we’re in an era when it seems that the country is at a crossroads. It’s always at some form of crossroads. Oftentimes there is a fever pitch of fear and anxiety. Sometimes it’s warranted, and other times it’s manufactured.”
