The Oscar-winner states that “We are witnessing triumph”.

We are, all of us, entitled to our opinions.

And some of our opinions are based more in fact, while others are based in emotion.

It is usually next-to-impossible to claim that anyone’s opinion is “wrong”, because that goes in the fact of what an opinion is.

However…

Four-time Oscar-nominee and one-time Oscar-winner Jon Voight took to Twitter this weekend to tell the American public that they need to stand with their president, not just to show their support, but because Voight believes he truly is the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln.

Yep.

The greatest president since the guy who brought America through their civil war, abolished slavery, and modernised their economy.

That was 29 presidents and over 150 years ago, so… sorry JFK, and Nobel Peace Prize-winning Roosevelt, or any of the others, but Trump trumps you all, because… well, why exactly does Voight think he’s so great?

Let us go to him and find out.

Part One:

Part Two:

“I know you will agree with me, when I say our president has our utmost respect, and our love.”

“Our country is stronger, safer, and has more jobs, because our president has made his every move correct.”

“We are the people of this nation that is witnessing triumph.”

“Let us stand up for this truth: that President Trump is the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln.”

So there you have it.

Jon Voight’s opinion. Do with it what you will.
