Tom Hanks Hopes Trump 'Does Such a Great Job That I Vote for His Re-Election'
After the Access Hollywood tape had leaked out, Hanks said he was offended by Trump's lewd talk. "I'm offended as a man. I'm not offended as a husband or a father. I'm offended as a guy," he said. "He was at work, man. He wasn't in a locker room. He was at work. He was showing up to do a thing on camera. That's just not right. I'm sorry. It's not right at work, it's not right in the locker room. It's wrong, period. The end. That's all." Speaking at a Museum of Modern Art gala, Hanks said: "We are going to be all right. America has been in worse places than we are at right now." "We have this magnificent thing that is in place," he said of the Constitution. "And the song goes, 'We the people, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare,' and it goes on and on. That document is going to protect us over and over again, whether or not our neighbors preserve, protect and defend it themselves." "We are going to be all right because we constantly get to tell the world who we are. We constantly get to define ourselves as American. We do have the greatest country in the world. We move at a slow pace." "We have the greatest country in the world because we are always moving towards a more perfect union. That journey never ceases, it never stops." "This is the United States of America. We'll go on. There's great like-minded people out there who are Americans first and Republicans or Democrats second," Hanks told THR. "I hope the president-elect does such a great job that I vote for his re-election in four years." Tom Hanks, who wasn't always overjoyed with the prospect of Donald Trump becoming president, says he's now pulling for him.
