Tom Selleck Says Trump Is a ‘Mixed Bag’ but Won’t Weigh in on Politics Anymore: ‘Why Piss Off Half the Country?’

"I stay out of the current political world," the actor says The post Tom Selleck Says Trump Is a ‘Mixed Bag’ but Won’t Weigh in on Politics Anymore: ‘Why Piss Off Half the Country?’ appeared first on TheWrap .

Tom Selleck, best known for his past friendship with the Reagans, has recently decided to stay quiet about politics following the rise of Donald Trump. In a recent CNN interview, the actor reflected on his career and his bond with Reagan during a tour of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Museum. When questioned about Trump, Selleck described him as "a mixed bag," before explaining his decision not to engage in current political affairs. He stated, "Why piss off half the country when you're in the business of entertaining people?"

During the interview, Selleck also reminisced about a memorable night at the White House, hosted by the Reagans. Princess Diana was present, along with John Travolta. Their dance together, which Selleck recalled with fondness, unfortunately caused internal panic as the British woman feared it might start rumors. Selleck, however, refused to cut in the dance, appreciating the joyful atmosphere it created.

Later, he did join Princess Diana for a dance, despite the initial reluctance. The actor's friendship with Nancy and Ronald Reagan was well-known, as he supported both the former president and his wife after his death.
