Actor John Cusack delivered a fiery message to President Donald Trump during a CNN interview Saturday at Chicago's "No Kings" rally, telling the president to "go to hell" over the deployment of Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to his beloved hometown.
Speaking at one of over 2,600 coordinated demonstrations taking place across the United States and internationally, Cusack criticized what he characterized as Trump's use of "masked goons" conducting immigration enforcement operations in Chicago.
The High Fidelity star's comments have circulated widely on social media as part of a broader wave of organized opposition to the Trump administration's policies

It's like there is a wall of glass between this country and 'celebrities' in Hollywood. They are in their own little world and have no idea what's really going on in this country. And many have lost sight of the fact that they need to entertain us and we have to want to see them for them to make those outrageous salaries. So many are destroying their careers. Oh well, Cusack was beyond his expiration date as an actor, anyway.

John, it's quite doubtful that PDJT even knows (or cares) who you are so I don't believe he'll lose any sleep over your little tantrum.

Cusack, who long ago was tagged as an actor who never used deodorant, was known to stink. (He has B.O. of the body and of the brain.) The high moment in this leftist's career was undoubtedly in Con Air (1995), where he displayed all his acting talents, such as they were. He's smelly.

Cusack left NYU after one year because, as he said, “I had too much fire in my belly and not enough brains.” We know, Mr. Cusack. We know.

I guess they havent figured it out yet. Trump doesn't seem to care what these weirdos think of his policies. He's going to do what he wants, no matter who stomps their feet and holds their breath till they turn blue.
A protest. Pffft. Wasted time and effort.

As soon as a clown like him or any other know it all Hollywood actor says the word DEMOCRACY, when talking about America government, I turn them odd. America is NOT A DEMOCRACY form of government. That word is not in the Constitution or in the Bill of Rights. Saying so just shows how stupid people are and they have not a clue of what they are talking about. They literally are a waste of my time.

I wonder who wrote 'Cusack's Message' for him.
He is, after all, just an actor playing parts that someone else conceived and developed, to be performed under the orders of a Director.

Who Diss? I've never heard of him.
But then again, I have little use for Hollywierd in general.
So this guy is against cleaning up Chit-Congo.
Well, tolerating criminals destroying the place is a CHOICE.
He CHOOSES -while apparently living in a gated community somewhere away from the riff-raff - to 'protest' that the government should let Chit-Congo go down the drain.
I guess it's no skin off HIS nose it the city goes down the drain.... he's got his safe place, wherever that is..
Perhaps he's trying to curry favor with some left-wing influential people so that they will select him for a gig in a film.
Who knows.
and...... who cares?

Screw this clown.
Deport ALL illegal aliens. Law enforcement officers are not anything but law enforcement, and morons who read others words for a living are just empty suits, with almost always empty heads. This guy is a perfect example.

There is a good reason why actors used to be considered socially lower class than even prostitutes and grave robbers. At least prostitutes had a purpose, such that it was!!

Cusacksaid: "The authoritarians divide and conquer and they create an 'other' and then they pick on it, pick on the person, harass them, jail them… We all know history." Sounds like Cusack was describing the actions and history of the Democrats over the past 9 years against Trump. All things they continue to do today to Trump, Republicans, ICE, and the country.

So many good movies I can never watch again.
Tom Hanks was the first on my X list, but now there are so many more actors I cannot stomach.

Send a bus load of illegals to his house and drop them off. Tell them to go inside his house anyway they like and make themselves at home. Then don't answer his 911 calls.

I realize this isn't the point of the article but I'm so sick of suburbanites, especially this one, claiming Chicago as their hometown. His hometown is Evanston, and while it borders Chicago and might possibly be more leftist than Chicago, this has-been isn't a Chicagoan.

John Cusack’s strange journey from 1980s heartthrob to Left-wing troll
The charismatic, charming star of Say Anything and The Sure Thing is now a charmless professional provocateur. This is a Telegraph headline from last year. And they LOVE lefties...

If Cusack doesn't like it in Amerca go back where he came from, England. His family is all in show biz in the UK. They go back a long way in the entermainment biz. I know that the family knows what it is like to live with a influenctural king in the country. I know they are aware of what unlimited immigration into the country was diasterous in England as it it changing the country slowly to socialism. Cusack knows that and yet he is in America spouting polititics that would change this nation to socialism.

How they call Pes. Trump wanting to be king while they refuse to look at their California governor. Newsome closed down businesses during covid, not allowing people to attend events or go to restaurants other than himself and his elite friends, raised taxes and wages on businesses except the ones he has a business investment in, his kids attended private schools, but he closed schools down for other students. He makes laws causing more suffering to residents who have lost homes and property in fires where he did nothing to help prevent the fires. They can overlook their king's action and have nerve to claim Trump thinks he is king.
