Actor Tom Cruise reportedly turned down a Kennedy Center Award from President Donald Trump. The Mission Impossible star, 63, was offered the award but declined due to 'scheduling conflicts,' according to The Washington Post. The president instead unveiled Sylvester Stallone, rock band KISS, Michael Crawford, Gloria Gaynor, and George Strait as being bestowed with honors.
Cruise, a member of the Church of Scientology, is known to shy away from politics, opting to use his high profile to support the military, veterans and his religion.

Yep. Liberals would never have forgiven him. Cruise wasn’t interested in doing anything that might give a political statement. He did the same type of stuff when Obama was President.
Cruise is most famous for playing a naval aviator.
This is a guy who struggles to come off as a guy for is male lead roles
Why wouldn’t he struggle to come off as a navy hero.
Any military guy knows you respect and salute the officer not the man
He just pissed off every military guy who ever liked top gun for its aviation
Many copies just went intent garbage
It was an excellent series. I’ve often wondered about the people who appeared with her on the show - forgot names - the guy she seemed to rely on for scouting territory, ex Scientology members for her and backing her up...I would like to see the series again. Was the ex-wife of the head honcho ever found, I wonder? Shelly Miscavige?
Whatever, it would be a nice award for him but apparently he fears the backlash.
“ but apparently he fears the backlash”
He respects the anti trumpers more than the electoral process. That’s subversive
“ He did the same type of stuff when Obama was President.”
Name the ‘stuff’ he did
Because he's like most hollywood types.
He did nothing. That’s what.
Just like he did for Trump. Nothing.
The Liberals are banking on Trump mucking things up and acting like the cartoon Trump they have created. Trump folds, goes “TACO” and all will be as it was. Trump impeached, jailed, and all his ideas sponged away like under Biden—Then Newson is elected president and the old guard back in power. All will be as it should be—the MAGA Maggots can seep back into the Walmart and not cause any new problems. Illegals granted citizenship, Blacks given reparations, and things will be just as they were under Biden (The Hero president who saved us from Trump).
“Was the ex-wife of the head honcho ever found, I wonder?”
I don’t think she was. Her evil husband made sure of that. Plus, IIRC, the Clearwater cops are owned by the Scientologist cult. The actual Mafia has nothing on this cult when it comes to viciousness.
They are doing contortions to oppose him like taking the 20% popularity side in a 80/20 issue. He continues to succeed and they continue to falter, I really like the trend.
Oh please.
Someone chose to steer clear of all politics. Just because President Trump is not running again doesn’t mean he’s not political. Of course he is - we all are.
“He did the same type of stuff when Obama was President”
Agin. Like what? Did he turn down an award because he wanted to make a statement against Obama?
No.
So. Please. With the he treated Obama the same
He stayed out of politics, just like he did with Trump.
That’s why it’s equivalent. He didn’t turn down an award by Obama because he wasn’t offered an award by Obama.
“Someone chose to steer clear of all politics. Just because President Trump is not running again doesn’t mean he’s not political. Of course he is - we all are.”
I’ve had better argumentation from my sixth grade students
What’s political? Trump is President. Every military member must respect that no question
No one else does?
The American people have spoken. It’s over
Cruise is disingenuous the electoral process
Period
What “stuff” did he do
IN both cases, nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Nothing = nothing.
0=0
Nada = nada.
That’s why it’s equivalent. He stays out of politics as much as he can. His rejection of an award offered by Trump is part of his political agnosticism.
You said he did this stuff with Obama
He did nothing?
Stop.
I hope you’re more polite to the sixth graders.
We’ll not agree on this issue.
Good luck.
Wasting your time. There’s a group of posters that want groupthink.
