Jon Voight joins trump's mission to reshape Hollywood
"Mr. Ambassador" - that is the title actor Jon Voight is to be given, who, along with Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson, was chosen by Donald Trump for a special project. Their mission is to transform Hollywood.
His daughter supports liberal politicians, while he has supported right-wing figures for many years. Angelina Jolie is involved in charity work, and Jon Voight supports Donald Trump, having publicly endorsed 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 almost six years ago.
Jon Voight as one of Donald Trump's ambassadors
Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, and Jon Voight have accepted the roles of "special ambassadors" at the invitation of President-elect Donald Trump, who will be inaugurated on 20th January. 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 come as no surprise.
Jon Voight has long been vocal about his radical right-wing views, backing Mitt Romney in the 2012 election and Donald Trump in 2016. After Joe Biden's victory in 2020, Voight criticized leftist politicians, describing them as unrepresentative of the American people and calling the election outcome "the greatest cover-up in history." The Oscar-winning actor, recognized for his role in Coming Home (1979), also argued that Biden's policies mirrored those of Barack Obama, which he believed had weakened the nation. Voight accused the left of deceit, claiming they manipulated America's power for personal gain and economic control, framing the political divide as a battle between good and evil in a statement shared on social media.
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 special 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 was seen in the controversial "Megalopolis" and in "Reagan," where he starred alongside another Trump fan, Dennis Quaid.
