Tom Hanks, a Hollywood icon, is facing criticism following his Saturday Night Live (SNL) appearance.
In the show’s 50th anniversary special, the “Forest Gump” star, adopting a rural dialect and a MAGA hat, portrayed a Trump devotee.
Days before President Donald Trump was elected to his first term in office, the actor also portrayed the same role in a 2016 Saturday Night Live parody.
Former Robert F. Kennedy Jr. political advisor Link Lauren responded to the contentious X skit by calling it a “tired trope” and implying that it is the cause of the show’s declining ratings.
For fans of Tom Hanks who are unaware of his political affiliation, the actor does not endorse Trump.
