In a fiery tweet that’s sure to ruffle some feathers, rapper and independent artist Tom MacDonald took aim at Hollywood legend Tom Hanks after the actor’s recent appearance on Saturday Night Live. Hanks, known for his roles in Forrest Gump and Cast Away, used his time on SNL to call MAGA supporters racist, a comment that quickly caught the attention of MacDonald, a vocal critic of mainstream politics and culture.
MacDonald, no stranger to controversy, responded with a biting retort: “Dear Tom Hanks… I think my impression was better 😂🤷♂️” The tweet was accompanied by a video of MacDonald performing his version of a MAGA supporter, humorously holding a sign that reads “Tom Hanks is a Pedophile.”
The jab is a reflection of MacDonald's broader commentary on cancel culture, Hollywood elitism, and the division between mainstream figures and the everyday American. MacDonald has long positioned himself as an outsider in the music industry, proudly speaking out against political correctness and the woke agenda.
It’s no surprise that MacDonald isn’t holding back when it comes to responding to Hanks’ comments. MacDonald has made it clear in past interviews that he doesn’t shy away from calling out those he sees as out of touch with everyday Americans. For MacDonald, Hanks’ remarks about MAGA supporters feel just like another instance of the Hollywood elite looking down on the working class.
MacDonald’s roast of Hanks is timely, as the rapper gears up to drop a new song and music video this Friday. While details about the track are being kept under wraps, fans are eager for a potential anthem that speaks to the values MacDonald has championed for years: free speech, personal responsibility, and standing up against an oppressive, woke culture.
