Actor John Cusack had a message for President Donald Trump and his “masked goons” on behalf of his hometown of Chicago: “Go to hell!”
Cusask, during a brief interview with CNN on Saturday at the No Kings rally in Chicago, blasted the president — something he has enjoyed doing frequently over the last decade. In particular, the High Fidelity star told reporter Whitney Wild he was upset about Trump sending Border Patrol and ICE agents to the city to deport illegal immigrants.
“Everyone knows the score, right? The authoritarians divide and conquer and they create an ‘other’ and then they pick on it, pick on the person, harass them, jail them, and that’s all used as a direction so they can steal as much as they can [and] maintain power,” Cusack said. “We all know history. So, that’s what he’s doing, and we have masked goons roaming the streets, hiding their faces, abducting people.”
Cusack, in a different clip shared by CNN later, told the president to go to hell, before adding Trump was ignorant of Chicago’s liberal history.
“What’s interesting is that he doesn’t understand that all the labor rights around the world came from this town, this place,” Cusack said. “So if he thinks this place is going to be a fascist hub – no chance.”
This was not the first time Cusack has skewered the president. Cusack has been doing it for years on X, where he has called Trump an “idiot sociopath” and a “deranged criminal Nazi,” among other insults.
Cusack, on Saturday, also gave Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) kudos for fighting back against Trump’s “fascism.”
Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) have both vocally opposed the president’s use of ICE and Border Patrol agents, as well as his deployment of the National Guard to Chicago, with Pritzker recently saying the president is “inciting” citizens to violence against federal agents.
Cusack speaking to CNN is a bit ironic, though, when you consider he blasted the channel on Election Day 2024:
