Jon Voight won an Academy Award in 1979 for the film Coming Home.
At one time, he was a respected actor best known for his film roles.
In recent years however he has become more associated with his adoration for President Donald Trump than his acting career. Voight has made several odd videos that he has gone on to share on social media.
Now in Voight's latest social media film foray, he touted Trump's "true truths." On the day Trump was impeached, Voight claimed the United States would fall if the impeachment occurred.
Watch Voight's video here.
Trump spent Thursday and Friday, December 26 and 27, scouring Twitter and retweeting praise for himself.
Which doesn't look at all sad or desperate.
On Thursday he shared Voight's video despite it being about stopping his impeachment which had already occurred 8 days prior.

The next morning, Trump tweeted effusive praise for Voight.
The President promoted Voight's current project and other highlights from earlier in his career.
The post holiday retweet evoked questions for both Trump and Voight on the President's timeline.

Jon, what do you know about God?
If you think God approves of stealing children from their loving parents and destroying precious lives forever you are following the wrong God. pic.twitter.com/OJ4U11gPxo

Wow Jon, you should stick to acting with a script that makes sense. But, perhaps we should offer the same "thoughts and prayers" that Republicans do when children are shot in schools. Meanwhile, pray that Trump's serial crime wave abates. Amen. pic.twitter.com/Ho72bFTOku

Do the MAGA KOOKS still think Hollywood Actors should shut up & stay out of Politics or Nah?

Many used the hashtag #ChristiansAgainstTrump.
Lets not and say we didn't.
Trumps Truth is lying, lying and more lying.
That is AGAINST Gods teachings#ChristiansAgainstTrump

But many of us don't listen well to Him, do we? Public demonstrations of faith, loudly professing Jesus, waving a Bible for the cameras, using the Bible as a weapon ~ these are easy. Living life in humility & love as He directed is a whole 'nother story. #ChristiansAgainstTrump pic.twitter.com/vVC9t8m8cv

How dare you invoke God and Abraham Lincoln in support of the most immoral person ever to have held the presidency! “True truth?" Really? Trump doesn't understand the concept of truth. And, obviously, neither do you. I'm a lifelong Republican who knows where to draw the line.

"By the 2000s, the charity was largely holding other people's money, which was donated to benefit philanthropic causes. Trump used some of this money to buy a $20,000 portrait of himself" pic.twitter.com/AxUqcu7a7Z

Voight's recent amateur film efforts earned him a National Medal of Arts from Trump during a ceremony where Voight's dancing skills drew more attention than the medal presentation.
