The West Point Association of Graduates has canceled an award ceremony intended to honor two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks, according to the Washington Post. The move comes as President Donald Trump has continued to intervene with Ivy League institutions and military academies across the nation.

Hanks was set to receive the Sylvanus Thayer Award on Sept. 25. The award is meant to celebrate an "outstanding citizen" outside of the West Point organization with a history of social service that exemplifies "Duty, Honor, Country," the academy's three core ideals.

The red above proves he's not qualified.

It was because of the work he did for veterans causes.

 

  “The move comes as President Donald Trump has continued to intervene with Ivy League institutions and military academies across the nation.”

  sounds like a socialist 

The award: Hanks was to receive the Sylvanus Thayer Award, which honors outstanding U.S. citizens who exemplify the academy's motto of "Duty, Honor, Country". He was recognized for his positive portrayals of service members in films like Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump, and Greyhound, as well as his advocacy for veterans.

When they started taking fed money.    
 
 

And Rudy gets the Medal of Freedom.. Go Figure!

I hear Trump is going to give it to him at the homeless shelter he is staying in. He has to stay close in Georgia for his pending trial.

What's next?, Jeanine PirRAT gets to do the Plaboy Centerfold? Smoke that Cigar! Monica Loves You!

She's a Judge with some Jugs..  Of Wine..  Or is it Whine?

@MR-7  , I hope you can understand that the appearance of the stellar line up in the Trump Admin is dark.. There are no shining bright points of light in  the cabinet meeting.  If those are sharp tools, we will be cutting a 2X4 in half for the next half century.

It's ok to not like everything a leader does..  At least it used to be. I would postulate to you it's actuallly healthy to.

I apologize I have a very hard time thinking of one good thing Trump has done.  There are so many bad, anything good is washed out.  The Farm Bill was good, legalizing weed would be cool.
