Famous actor Tom Hanks has the right idea on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
This past weekend, some audio surfaced from the TV show ‘Access Hollywood’ in 2005. Donald Trump talked about forcing himself on women. Many people on both sides of the political aisle came out slamming Donald Trump for his lewdness.
Women are coming forward saying Trump assaulted them.
If you notice, some of the men who are denouncing Trump seem to be doing so on behalf of the women in their lives. They are not saying they are offended themselves. They say things like “as a father, I’m offended.”
Tom Hanks spoke for himself, though. 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. Look… I’m offended as a man. I’m not offended as a husband or a father. I’m offended as a guy[…] It’s wrong. Period. The end. That’s all. ”
Hanks is the man who finally got it right. All men should denounce Donald Trump’s treatment of women. It makes their entire gender look bad to condone that kind of talk and behavior.
Hanks used a great analogy to describe the remarks and the situation:
“It’s kind of like if you have a horrible, painful tooth, and you need a root canal. Who are you going to see? A guy who says, ‘Oh, I think I can figure that out, how to do a root canal for you. Lay down,’ or are you going to see somebody who’s done 6,000 of them. Has a degree on the wall and has a great history and expertise when it comes down to it”
This is not the first time Hanks has spoken out about the election. Earlier this year, he said this in an interview. He told Sky News:
“I think that man [Donald Trump] will be president right about the time when spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs in red capes.”
