And, waiting for the extreme ultra left wing radical assclowns in the lame stream to make up a story of "When you're down as far in the polls at Trump is, you do things like this to make it look like you care." Thanks Mr. President and Melania, Gen. Milley and Mr. Voight.

Mr. Voight was in town yesterday for the "Arts Medal" award. It was very nice of President Trump to invite him along.

Trump awards Jon Voight, others National Medal of Arts

Voight's comeback to leftist kook Alyssa Milano in June 2019 was classic. Milano ranted 'Has been!'; 'F-lister trying to stay relevant!'; 'Nobody cares what an out of touch actor thinks!'

Voight replied...

Darling Alyssa, God bless you. I pray God sends His light of truth on all those with no truth about the Republicans, and about our President, and may God bless America. People say a lot of things. We have to go through a process in order to learn the truth sometimes — I did — so I have sympathy for the people who are in ignorance ... Ignorance doesn't scare me; I was like that myself. I just root for everyone to come to the truth.

....absolutely...! can you even imagine in your wildest dreams Pres. Obungo doing something like this...? or Bill “BJ” Clinton, who admitted that he despised the U.S. military....? President Trump - four more years....!!!!!

"F-Lister"?
Did anyone watch him in Ray Donovan? The character he plays is such a reprobate, and he does it so well.
especially once you know what kind of person he is.

I have to say that Mr. Voight is still, after all these years, an "A" lister. Unlike Alyssa Milano, most recently in the show Tanked - since she isn't getting any other offers.
Wonder what list she is on?

[God luvs America]

and the First Lady as well...i remember a few similar pictures of obama with great fanfare but don’t remember a single instance where his wife was with him...

Mr. Voight played a paralyzed Vietnam Vet in the movie “Coming Home” Not going to mention his co-star. I am a Vietnam Veteran and thank him for honoring these brave men with his presence.

Better salute than that officer in the background.

I guess this is not the forum for Trump to ask “What the hell are we in Afghanistan for?”
