John Cusack Slams Trump with ‘Go to Hell’ Comment During Chicago’s ‘No Kings’ Protest

John Cusack voiced strong opposition to President Donald Trump at the recent “No Kings” protest in Chicago. The actor exclaimed, “Go to hell!” directed at Trump’s administration. Cusack, a 59-year-old resident of Chicago, emphasized that Trump misreads the city’s essence.

Protest against Trump’s Policies

During the rally, Cusack criticized Trump for suggesting the deployment of federal troops to the city. Trump’s rationale for this action is to protect immigration officials. However, Chicago leaders firmly oppose the necessity of such measures.

Cusack stated, “All the labor rights around the world came from this town,” underscoring Chicago’s historical significance. He declared, “If he thinks this place is going to be a fascist hub – no chance!” The actor warned Trump against instigating chaos to maintain power, stating, “You can’t create enough chaos to invoke the Insurrection Act.”

Massive Nationwide Demonstrations

The Chicago demonstration is part of a vast movement across the United States, with protests occurring in over 2,500 locations. This comes during the government’s ongoing shutdown, marking the second round of “No Kings” protests. The first demonstration in June attracted over 5 million participants.

Ezra Levin, a co-founder of Indivisible, remarked, “There is no greater threat to an authoritarian regime than patriotic people-power.” Various civil rights and advocacy organizations have mobilized efforts for these protests, refuting claims from some Republicans that these gatherings are “Hate America rallies.”

Reactions from the Trump Administration

Trump and some of his officials dismissed the protests, with the U.S. assistant attorney general, Harmeet Dhillon, mocking, “Marked safe from kings in DC, since there aren’t any here.” Meanwhile, Cusack continues to use his platform to address critical issues, including fair wages in Hollywood. He recently commented on the actors’ union strike, highlighting the industry’s financial practices.

As protests against Trump’s administration grow, figures like Cusack remain vocal, emphasizing the power of civic engagement and labor rights.
