Tom Hanks would “probably not” screen his new film, “The Post,” at the White House if asked by President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?'

"I don't think I would," he said when asked in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “This is the moment where, in some ways, our personal choices are going to have to reflect our opinions. We have to start voting, actually, before the election. So, I would probably vote not to go.”

Hanks plays legendary Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee in the film, which chronicles the staff at the newspaper reporting on the Pentagon Papers, in a race to beat The New York Times.

Hanks compared the Nixon administration’s efforts to stop the secret study on the Vietnam War from being published to how the press is treated today.

“[Nixon] took on the First Amendment by saying: ‘You can't tell that story, and if you do, we're going to threaten you,’” Hanks said. “That is going on, of course, right now … Right now, without a doubt, there are people in power trying to — if not quash or stop the right to publication, denigrate it to the point [where] they are saying there is no truth to it whatsoever.”

“There used to be this concept … ‘You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts, facts are irrefutable,’” Hanks continued. “Well, it turns out people are saying: ‘No, facts are not irrefutable. We can decide whatever facts that we want, that we would like.’”

“I didn't think things were going to be this way last November,” he said in the interview. “I would not have been able to imagine that we would be living in a country where neo-Nazis are doing torchlight parades in Charlottesville and jokes about Pocahontas are being made in front of the Navajo code talkers.”
