Jon Voight joins Trump's mission to reshape Hollywood
"Mr. Ambassador" — this is how actor Jon Voight is to be called, who, along with Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson, was chosen by Donald Trump. They are to transform Hollywood.
His daughter supports liberal politicians, while the father has supported right-wing figures for years. Angelina Jolie is involved in charity work, and Jon Voight supports Donald Trump, publicly endorsing the Republican Party. "Greatest president since Abraham Lincoln," he wrote about Trump in 2019. "This is not peace, this is not love. This is hate among the radical left. No amount of book smart will show the given policy of what truth stands for. Truth is a powerful emotion. Is what we should be voting for," he commented on the political situation nearly six years ago.
Jon Voight as one of Donald Trump's ambassadors
Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, and Jon Voight accepted the roles of "special ambassadors" at the invitation of President-elect Donald Trump, who will be inaugurated on January 20th. The new president has created a special unit tasked with restoring Hollywood's former glory and freeing it from the influence of foreign interests. The selection of Sylvester Stallone generated a lot of excitement, but the involvement of Jon Voight, Angelina Jolie's father, in this team should surprise no one.
Jon Voight, known for his outspoken right-wing views, supported Mitt Romney in the 2012 election and Donald Trump in 2016. After Joe Biden's 2020 electoral victory, Voight criticized the outcome, calling it "the greatest cover-up in history" and asserting that leftist leaders do not represent the American people. The Oscar-winning actor, who received the Best Actor award in 1979 for "Coming Home," compared Biden's policies to those of Barack Obama, which he believed had weakened the nation. He accused the left of deceit and exploiting America's resources for personal gain, framing his comments in terms of a battle between good and evil in a post on what was then Twitter.
Voight also publicly opposed his daughter. Angelina Jolie strongly sided with Palestine in the conflict with Israel, accusing Israel of turning Gaza into a "mass grave." "I am very disappointed that my daughter, like many others, does not understand the glory of God, the truths of God. This is about destroying the history of God's land, the Holy Land, the land of the Jews," he said in a unique recording published on social media.
"Voight is a nice guy, but he's delusional," commented Robert De Niro, who is a staunch opponent of Trump.
Jon Voight is best known today for his political posts. However, he still acts in films. Most recently, he could be seen in the controversial "Megalopolis" and in "Reagan," where he starred alongside another Trump fan, Dennis Quaid.
