I want a president who’s tougher on Ghislaine Maxwell than he is on Tom Hanks.

My Alma Mater, West Point, and like America, has been hijacked by MAGA by repudiating Tom Hanks. A new low.

Tom Hanks has portrayed war heroes. Trump dodged service with fake bone spurs. One man honors the troops. The other insults them. pic.twitter.com/UvrybdmqoV

Tom Hanks is an American icon. Donald Trump is a convicted felon disgraced crybaby that shits his pants. Hopefully that clears some things up.

Canceling Tom Hanks? Unbelievably petty.
Then again, with everything going on these days, it feels right on brand. pic.twitter.com/MUXcQXHsS9

Donald Trump is so furious that Bruce Springsteen got more applause than him that he’s trying to cancel… Tom Hanks? pic.twitter.com/khhndsHTqT

So now the @USArmy can’t recognize Tom Hanks, someone who has done more for veterans and portraying the sacrifices of American soldiers than almost anyone in the country… all because he doesn’t align with Trump. What a disgrace.https://t.co/f1nbDcB9oX

Tom Hanks was instrumental in raising funds for DC’s WWII Memorial when Congress appropriated only 10 percent of the funds needed. He also raised funds for the National WWII Museum, narrated documentaries on WWII and co-produced Band of Brothers. Naturally, Trump hates this. pic.twitter.com/GPB4kAgiZx

Perhaps they’ll have a rethink.
West Point Academy should privately still give the reward to Tom Hank’s, maybe ask someone of distinction to present it to him! I would nominate Robert De Niro!
