I said that he did the same thing with Obama that he did with Trump. He stayed out of politics.
Yes. Unless somebody is full-throated a Trump supporter, he must be a hardcore Democrat. Sarc. :)
Is Trump the elected president?
Yes he is. Does Cruise have a right to refuse an award so he doesn’t anger half his potential audience?
“ I said that he did the same thing with Obama that he did with Trump. He stayed out of politics.”
No. You said he did this stuff to Obama
He is actually being political against Trump. Actively
So he did not snub Obama. Actively, as you claimed
I said he did the same thing with Trump as he did with Obama. He stayed out of politics. That’s what I said.
He didn’t go the inauguration, despite being invited and he turned an award by Trump. He’s apolitical, publically.
Turning down an award is not being political. If he had accepted it, he would have lost half his audience.
I never said he snubbed Obama. He didn’t snub Trump. He declined invitations from both. He declined the invitation to go to Obama’s inauguration and he declined Trump’s offer for an award.
Trump wouldn’t let him jump on the furniture.
You’ve never heard of George “Amarillo by Morning” Strait?
Yup, No surprises here. The elitist Cruise should go F himself.
“Profile in courage. /s”
You make me laugh.
here is Ms Cruise picking up an award from the scientology crazies:

Let’s clean this place up!!!
Tom who?
“Tom Cruise turns down Trump’s Kennedy Center Lifetime Achievement Award over ‘scheduling conflicts’”
Tom Cruise turns down Trump’s Kennedy Center Lifetime Achievement Award over ‘scheduling conflicts’ but accepted Trump’s “Useless Celeb Lifetime Achievement Award
There, fixed it
That’s true.
You know there have been the rare people who have even turned down a Presidential medal of Freedom also.
What is Cruise being chastised for turning down a meaningless award and honor like that. And then Trump chooses the band KISS, the Kennedy Center Honors are pretty much nothing anymore.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom has been greatly cheapened in the last 40 years, given to people who didn’t deserve it.
“ There’s a group of posters that want groupthink.”
Would you explain what you mean? Or do you want to cower away from this remark?
Not accepting an award from a President does not mean being subversive.
He has a choice. I think he made the right one. More Hollywood types should.
Cruise knows his place. That he does and people bark about that is indicative of wanting groupthink.
Accepting the election process and recognizing the president is political only in the mind of political people
Group think is denying that Trump is the president not the other way around
Cruise is thumbing his nose at the people of the US
He won’t be happy with the outcome one
What??
Expains why they are unknowns to me, thanks.
