  • A flurry of posts hit the Internet in July 2016 claiming that actor Tom Hanks announced he is backing Republican candidate Donald Trump for president. Leading the charge was the tabloid-style right-wing news web site Conservative 101, which ran a story on 29 July, saying: The basis for these claims was a 21 April 2016 interview Hanks gave on CBS This Morning in which the following exchange took place between Hanks and one of the hosts: Hanks' offhand comment that America's gonna be fine was far from an endorsement of a Donald Trump presidency, however, a point that becomes crystal clear if one listens to the rest of the interview (conveniently omitted by Conservative 101), in which Hanks belittles candidate Trump, referring to him at one point as the president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. In the real world, Tom Hanks is a Hillary Clinton supporter and has actively campaigned on her behalf. (en)
