...John Cusack has shut down claims he sent a death threat to President Donald Trump.
In a tweet posted on 26 June, Cusack, 50, criticised Trump and the Republican party's proposed healthcare bill, writing: "Message to GOP rob health care give tax breaks to rich bill -from sweet smell of success yr soon out of power." Alongside the caption, Cusack posted a photo of the quote: "Yer dead – Get yerself buried" written on the side of a building.
Although many initially perceived it to be a direct threat to Trump, 70, Cusack reveals it is actually a quote from the 1957 film Sweet Smell Of Success. Defending his comment, the Being John Malkovich actor tweeted: "Your so threatened by a movie line - the writer is Clifford Odettes by the way - you can get it on iTunes- enjoy."
Further explaining his message behind the quote, Cusack added: "maga crew – trump presidency is in "a death spiral' – words he uses to describe Obama care trump presidency in a death spiral too. But politically he's dead in water – a metaphor – like resistance pics – 'yr dead get yourself buried' a line from sweet smell of success with the great Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis – funny they were exposing the roy Cohn's of the world – trump role model and hero."
He added: "I think he is totally political dead - ie f****d i.e. Already hit the iceberg," before describing himself as a "non-violent person". Cusack has voiced his concerns over Trump's presidency in the past, previously calling for the US congress to "impeach this insane clown horror show".

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star is said to have told the 1500-strong audience at a screening of his 2004 film, The Libertine: "Can we bring Trump here? I think he needs help. This is going to be in the press, and it will be horrible. But I like that you're all a part of it. When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?"
In May, comedian Kathy Griffin received backlash for posing with a Trump's fake decapitated and bloodied head during a shoot with photographer Tyler Shields. Griffin later apologized for the photo and admitted: "I went too far."...
BTW: Have fun not earning jack.
I’ve noticed it’s mostly the washed up has beens...with NO box-office draw, that are making these threat tweets, then ‘deleting’.
Attention whoooo ares.
I’m waiting for Charlie Sheen to flap his yap about it too.
Cusack has always been one Hollywood’s biggest a-holes up there with Glover and Penn.
LOL...The Has Been Tweeter Attacker list won’t be complete without Mr Tiger Blood, himself :)
Had Enuff YET AMERICA????????????...Just Say...”WHEN”!!!!!!!!!!

The tweet was shared as the world reacted to the death of Debbie Reynolds
It read: ‘Dear God; Trump next, please! Trump next, please! Trump next, please!’
Some social media users vented by urging police to arrest the 51-year-old actor
Others returned his death wish, saying Sheen should be the next celebrity to die
Charlie Sheen is facing a massive backlash after he took to social media to pray Donald Trump would be the next celebrity to die.
His tweet, which read, ‘Dear God; Trump next, please! Trump next, please! Trump next, please! Trump next, please! Trump next, please! Trump next, please!,’ was shared just hours after it was announced Debbie Reynolds had died.
The post caused fury among those mourning the actress, with users calling him a ‘scumbag and a ‘useless cockroach’.
One Twitter user said: ‘A total scumbag wishing someone dead on Twitter.
‘Your contribution to humanity is what, exactly, Charlie Sheen.
‘Useless cockroach living off daddy.’
Another simply pointed out that the 51-year-old actor ‘has no chill’ while others took a more drastic stance urging police to arrest Sheen and some even returned his death wish, saying he is the celebrity that should die next.
One woman pondered how much of a backlash there would have been had Sheen wished death upon Barack Obama rather than the President-elect.
Winning comment of the day! NICE! /NO SARC
I had to look him up to be sure who he was.... yep..... perennial loser.
Oh, that’s right. He did sound off about it last year.
There was so much fuss about Debbie and Carrie both passing, that Charlies, ugly remarks were somewhat buried.
No wonder he’s been kinda quiet on this topic since then.
Uh...John. Your friends from the Liberal Left have controlled the Tax Code for decades. It’s they who wrote the loop holes into the Code so they could get reelected by buying votes from your left-leaning friends.
Damn! You are as stupid as you look.
*Sigh* looks like I’ll have to make yet another call to the secret service. I’m practically on a first name basis with them now. Of course they already know about the threats before I call, but I figure if enough people call and relay the threat and say as a US citizen out of concern for my President, I demand an arrest, they may FINALLY do it!!! This is why the left constantly makes these threats, because NOBODY gets arrested!
That doesn’t count... he’s brain dead
Charlie Sheen is acutioning off some of his baseball Memorabilia I think he might keep a low profile
I would place my bets that Charlie Sheen is next now that he’s got the Hiv.
John's got a gun.
