Tom Hanks: ‘Self-Involved Gasbag’ Trump Will Never Be President

Tom Hanks is disheartened by America’s presidential election — but the Oscar-winning actor is particularly dismayed by Republican hopeful Donald Trump.

Hanks was in Rome to accept the lifetime achievement award at the Rome Film Festival this week when he weighed in on U.S. politics with reporters ahead of the event, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“It strikes me as ‘crapfest 2016,’” the two-time Oscar-winning actor told reporters, according to THR. “Every four years the circus comes to town in the United States. Every four years we decide who’s going to be the leader. Sometimes we’re in an era when it seems that the country is at a crossroads. It’s always at some form of crossroads. Oftentimes there is a fever pitch of fear and anxiety. Sometimes it’s warranted, and other times it’s manufactured.”

Despite the seemingly more-contentious-than-usual presidential race, Hanks said he has faith that the American people will make the right decision in November.

“I think without a doubt the world is going through something quite profound in which the future is shaky, in which the future is mysterious, in which great parts of the world are dealing with problems that seem as though they have no solution,” he said. “When America has faced those circumstances and times, we have never turned to a simplistic, self-involved gasbag of a candidate.”

Hanks went on to compare Trump to politicians like former Louisiana governor Huey Long, former Republican presidential nominee Wendell Wilkie and former Wisconsin senator Joseph McCarthy.

“There’s always been some version of the current nominee of the Republican Party that holds sway. But we never invest our future in them,” Hanks said, according to THR. “We have never done it, and we will not do it now.”

Hanks has previously predicted that Americans would never elect Trump president.

“I think that man will be president right about the time when spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs in red capes,” the Sully star told Sky News in an April interview.

While promoting his upcoming film Inferno in Italy earlier this week, Hanks blasted Trump over his appearance in an 11-year-old leaked Access Hollywood behind-the-scenes tape in which he jokes about women.

“I’m offended as a man,” he told the Press Association. “I’m not offended as a husband or a father. I’m offended as a guy.

Bill Gates Is No Longer The World’s Richest Person, This Man Is

mancio Ortega, the founder of the clothing line Zara, has replaced Bill Gates as the world’s richest person. Ortega and Gates switched the top position in a matter of a few minutes. Currently, Ortega is ahead with a net worth of $78 billion. The road to becoming the world’s richest person is full of ups and downs. The last few days have witnessed two billionaires going through those ups and downs to sit on the throne and become the world’s richest person. One the of them is Bill Gates, a name synonymous to the title “World’s Richest Person”. The second one is the co-founder of Zara retail clothing line, Amancio Ortega, whose dramatic stock performance made him climb the world’s billionaires list leaving behind Gates, Buffett, Bezos, and Zuckerberg in the below positions. Zara’s parent company Inditex’s 2.5% rise on Wednesday made Ortega surpass Bill Gates to become the richest man. The shares dropped by 2.8% on Friday, Ortega fell on to the second position and Gates took the lead

Clinton Versus Trump on War with Russia

The biggest difference between the two major-Party U.S. Presidential candidates is that Hillary Clinton wants to continue the Obama-Administration’s policy of regime-change in nations that aren’t hostile towards Russia (such as Iraq, Libya, Ukraine and now Syria), and that Donald Trump doesn’t. Trump wants to focus U.S. national-security policies instead upon eliminating jihadists (a problem that the U.S. and Saudi governments actually gave birth to in Pakistan and Afghanistan starting in 1979, in order to cripple the Soviet Union — which ended in 1991). Trump says that the Cold War is over , but Hillary says «Russia must pay a price». However, neither candidate has provided any fleshed-out position on the matter. Hillary Clinton doesn’t need to do so, because she has already shown by her actions in public office, that she has consistently favored overthrowing heads-of-state who were either neutral or else downright friendly toward Russia, of which there have been four cases that

FBI: Hillary’s Crooked Aide and Lawyer Cheryl Mills Destroyed Evidence

According to the recently released FBI report on Hillary’s server investigation, the FBI found evidence that Hillary’s crooked aide and lawyer Cheryl Mills destroyed evidence and committed obstruction of justice. Despite the evidence, the FBI has done absolutely nothing. In an interview with the New York Post, Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton said the FBI saw massive document destruction and intent to withhold material evidence by Cheryl Mills, but did nothing and ignored the evidence and even let Mills sit in on Hillary’s interview as one of Hillary’s lawyers. Mills ultimately decided which emails of Hillary’s were “personal” and which were “work-related.” “The smoking gun is on page 16 of the FBI’s 47-page report. It details how Mills ultimately made the determinations about which emails should be preserved before she and Clinton decided to delete the rest as “personal.” Paul Sperry writes. “It’s absolutely outrageous, the FBI saw massive document destruction and clear intent to wit
