“Jon Voight’s POWERFUL Pro-Trump speech! Greatest President Since Lincoln!”
I can't imagine anyone wanting to quote Jon Voight, much less getting all choked-up about anything he’s said.
Over the years, he's said some remarkably dumb things.
One that stands out in memory is his saying he didn't think President Obama loved Israel enough.
Loved Israel enough? That's what a President of the United States is supposed to do?
Voight reminds me of an old quote from author Truman Capote. Capote hung around with the Hollywood crowd a good deal, being a prominent screenwriter and someone who liked to attend parties, doing lots of drinking and eavesdropping on the conversations of others.
Capote said actors were dumb, and the better the actors were, the dumber they were.
Jon Voight has definitely been a good actor, sometimes an excellent one.
