Jon Voight's Awkward Dance While Accepting An Award From Trump Has People Cringing

Actor and unapologetic Trump supporter Jon Voight made an appearance at the White House this past Thursday, November 21, to receive a National Medal of the Arts.


As awkward as that would have been on its own, the Trump administration couldn't stop there.

In a truly strange turn of events, the White House began to play music from Voight's movie Midnight Cowboy about halfway through the ceremony, at which point the 80-year-old actor stood up and did a small jig for the President.

People online were...confused to say the least.


Voight is famously estranged from his daughter, Angelina Jolie.


Voight's dance was yet another surreal moment in an endlessly surreal Presidency.


Voight himself has been a little bit strange for years now, but this takes things to the next level.



Trump also went out of his way to praise Voight's work in Anaconda.


After doing his dance, Voight received his medal and later accompanied President Trump on Air Force One.



Whatever else happened that night, however, that dance will be the moment no one will be able to forget.

The only reasonable explanation for this behavior?

Please pull yourself together, Jon Voight...or at least learn how to dance.

Randy Rainbow Just Skewered Trump's Second Term With A Sequel To His 'Very Stable Genius' Parody—And It's An Instant Classic

Comedian Randy Rainbow is at it again, this time skewering President Donald Trump's second term with a sequel to his popular 2018 "Very Stable Genius" video, which is a parody of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Major-General's Song" from The Pirates of Penzance.

It was during his first term that Trump referred to himself as a "very stable genius," a claim that doesn't hold any water for anyone who's kept tabs on the president's mental stability (or lack thereof).

For more than a decade, Idris Elba has been one of the most popular fan-cast choices to play James Bond. But in a new interview, the British actor suggested that racism—not a lack of talent, interest, or fan support—helped make the prospect of a Black 007 feel unrealistic from the start.

Speaking with British GQ, Elba offered an unvarnished take on why the long-running Bond rumors never amounted to anything more than speculation.
