Will Smith is outraged at the way Donald Trump talks about women. 

The “Suicide Squad ” star vented his anger over the GOP presidential candidate’s discourse on women during a wide-ranging interview with Australian news website news.com.au.

“For a man to be able to publicly refer to a woman as a fat pig , that makes me teary,” Smith said in the piece, published online Tuesday.

He also refused to hold back on those who applauded the former reality TV personality’s statements.

“That is absolutely fucking insanity to me,” he said. Smith’s grandmother would have “smacked my teeth out of my head” had he referred to a woman in such a way, the actor added.

Smith would be equally as angry if one of his sons said such a thing. “They couldn’t even live in my house anymore,” he said.

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence  and is a serial liar rampant xenophobe racist misogynist  and birther  who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
