Cancel culture strikes again.

Like the rest of MAGA, Trump thinks he's "at war" with Americans who don't think just like him.

A President thinks that. An American President. About Americans.

Okie dokie.

Yep. MAGA proving once again it is they, in fact, who are the biggest snowflakes.

Not really, and Hanks did serve a couple of years in the Navy and did Band of Brothers. But outside of that he is as woke as they come.

I could not agree more.

The West Point awards ceremony was supposed to take place Sept. 25. Hanks was to be honored as an “outstanding citizen” outside of the West Point organization with a history of social service that exemplifies “Duty, Honor, Country,” the academy’s three core ideals.

What makes Tom such an outstanding citizen? Is it because he got insanely wealthy making movies or the fact that he is a left wing cook who got insanely wealthy making movies.

Idiocy.

Never have believed in any of this fake awards crap.

 

[Votto]

Tom seems like a real loser. Maybe it should go to a real American hero, like a Trump family member?

“Tom Hanks has done more for the positive portrayal of the American service member, more for the caring of the American veteran, their caregivers and their family, and more for the American space program and all branches of government than many other Americans,” says the Honorable Robert A. McDonald, Class of 1975, WPAOG Board Chairman.

Much of Hanks’ five-decade career reflects his support of veterans, the military, and America’s space program. In 1999, Hanks joined Senator Bob Dole, a 2004 Thayer Award recipient, as national spokesperson for the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC. Continuing his commitment to honor those who serve, in 2015, the actor lent his support to Dole’s fundraiser to create the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington, DC. He has also served as national chairperson of the D-Day Museum Capital Campaign.

In 2017, the Elizabeth Dole Foundation named its Caregiver Champion Award, honoring the extraordinary support of military caregivers and their veterans, after Hanks. Senator Elizabeth Dole, the 2023 Thayer Award recipient, tapped Hanks to chair the foundation’s Hidden Heroes campaign. “He certainly lives up to the criteria of ‘a great American,’” Dole says.

Hanks earned his first Oscar nomination for “Best Actor” in 1988 for Big, and back-to-back Oscars for leading roles in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump. In 1995, Hanks starred in Apollo 13. In 1998, Hanks starred as Army Captain John H. Miller in Saving Private Ryan, which earned praise, notably from the World War II veteran community, for its realistic depictions of combat. For his portrayal of a World War II Army Ranger company commander, Hanks was inducted as an Honorary Member into the U.S. Army’s Ranger Hall of Fame. He executive-produced the miniseries Band of Brothers in 2001, The Pacific in 2010, and Masters of the Air in 2024. He also wrote and starred in Greyhound, a 2020 film about the Battle of the Atlantic, in which he played a U.S. Navy commander. In recognition of his public platform bringing World War II stories to new generations, the National WWII Museum presented Hanks with its American Spirit Award in 2015. Hanks supports military personnel through the profits and initiatives of his coffee company, Hanx for the Troops, founded in 2023.

Under his Playtone banner, Hanks executive-produced and narrated the 1998 HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon and co-wrote and co-produced the 2005 3-D IMAX film Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon. In between these projects, Hanks received the NASA Public Service Award for his commitment to increasing public interest in space. Hanks has received the American Film Institute’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002, the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Chaplin Award in 2009, a Kennedy Center Honor in 2014, France’s Legion D’Honneur Award in 2016, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom—the United States’ highest civilian honor—in 2016 for his meritorious contribution to American culture. Hanks and his wife of 35 years, Rita Wilson, also support health-related charities including the Children’s Health Fund, Women’s Cancer Research Fund, and the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

Ok, so he raised some money for veterans.

At least he did something in his life worth noting.

They should have let him come. He might have brought some really good Greek food!

Trump has this thing on stopping the glorification of the military. For what reason is still a riddle?

My guess is that he has bad feeling for the military on account of him not being able to claim having served.

Of all Trump's negatives, that is the biggest of the lot, next to his fascist ambitions. Americans love wars and they love the military, no matter the reason, or phony reason for the war.

This is then a case of Hanks being glorified for something that Trump can never have himself. That can't be allowed.

The only way that Trump can make it right for himself is to make one of his lackies responsible. Vance should be taking the heat for this one.

How does this "cancel" Tom Hanks?

Here we have a President that feels it's his place to interject himself into every and anything that's happening in the country, or not and you're cheering it on.

I expect to see this cheering on of yours continued when President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez starts swinging that bat.

Carry on.

So this means you'll be cheering Trump on from now on?

Is that what you are saying?

 

[22lcidw]

Cancel culture strikes again.

Hanks shows up to work wearing his Communist approved outfits and then makes movies like Saving Private Ryan as an American patriot. A percentage of the war movies we see are actors who are Communists.

I voted for Trump 3 times (and do not regret it AT ALL).

West Point can do what it wants. I, personally, have always liked Hanks as an actor. And I think he's done some great humanitarian work.

Trump mouthing off like this is what pisses me off about him.

Donald....sometimes (more often than not) it's best if you STFU.

This could all be part of the trans thing.

...he is a left wing cook...

Really? What does he cook? Only the left wings of chickens and other poultry? Does he have a restaurant?

 

[Seymour Flops]

Tom Hanks best work was his series "Bosom Buddies."

He never outdid that. He was some okay comedy movies, on the strength of that role. Once he played the finocchio with AIDS in Philidelphia, and they gave him an Oscar for "courage" instead of talent, he became insufferably pretentions and his movies became snooze-fests.

I literally fell asleep during "Forest Gump" and woke up kicking myself for not just watching "Pulp Fiction" again.
