...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."...
Or the difference in your and you’re
He could also learn the difference between
‘Your’ and ‘You’re.’
Penn is the same exact age as me and he looks 20 years older. That’s all the leftist rot inside him coming to the surface as well as him being a cocaine junkie in my opinion. That’s why he was always visiting Chavez, getting the good stuff in exchange for Hollywood support. He even met with El Chapo because he wanted “to interview him”..suuuure you did Sean. All these Hollywood lefties are junkies. Who in their right mind thinks Johnny Depp is clean?
God bless you GJMY.
You are doing good work.
I will have to join you in calling the SS whenever these morons chime up.
All it will take is one to be punished, then all these fame loving cowards will shut right up.
another Meh actor I can add to my ‘do not watch’ list-
Would be nice to get a list of hollywood actors who “Aren’t A-Holes”
All one has to do is check to see who these Hollywood actors have as a ‘talent agent’. Inevitably, their talent agent is very closely linked to the DEMS/HILLARY/OBAMA.
Yea, didn’t Anthony Weiner insist that the tweet or e-mail he sent didn’t get sent by him until it was proved that it was sent by him or something to that effect?
So, he’s saying if we simply copy-and-paste or photograph a threat from a movie, that that is okay? Seriously? That’s lame as a threat is a threat.
John Cucksack can go suck cack.
I’m not one for organized boycotts, but in the case of the entertainment industry and their relentless threats aimed at President Trump, I would love to see an organized boycott of Hollywood movies at some point real soon. Pick a date and announce it, and welcome those who are fed up with it and who want to show support the president. And then a general refusal to go to movies afterward. A sort of “ slowdown”. I would love to see some real legal consequences for this appalling trend, but in the absence of it, maybe this rejection of the Hollywood left by the people would be the next best thing. Hitting them in their pocketbook.
Oh yeah, these clowns always deny deny deny right to the very end.
It has become an inside joke with them.
Kind of like the guy who does something wrong and then says, “prove it”.
We all love those people.

Hey, Hollywood...eight years of Trump, eight years of Pence, eight years of Cruz, eight year of Trump, Jr. Not to mention 40 year-terms of conservatives on the Supreme Court. As PRESIDENT Trump would say...Enjoy!
Now thats a cryin’ shame when people be throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that
Maybe we can get term limits to in the House and Congress.
That would be a real game changer.
Rich celebrities have it so bad. They are affected much more than your average person. /s
Ah yes, Jim Carrey another lost, liberal, lackluster, loser.
He is now on his way to trial for the death of his girlfriend.
Jim Carrey has deserted efforts to force the mother of his late girlfriend Cathriona White to pay a $372,000 (£290,000) bond.
The news comes as a judge confirmed a trial would go ahead over claims the Hollywood actor utilised his “wealth, influence and celebrity status” to provide the prescription drugs White used to overdose.
