Trump does not respect art. He sees no merit in art. Even if Voight deserves it, and accepts it with pride, it is not being given with honorable intentions.
What Voight deserves is an award given to him by SOMEONE WHO RESPECTS ART, or at least, someone who is not hurting arts programs and artists around the country with his cabinet members' actions and policies.

Every opinion is personal and subjective. You certainly have a way with redundancy.

Did you know he is Angelina Jolies dad.

While at night a candle is brighter than the son, as a lonely Trump supporter Voight has stained his integrity taking this award from Trump, as its obviously for political points that he gave it.
That relationship is mostly by virtue of DNA. As far as being her dad in any sort of relationship capacity, its been on and off, and mostly off. I would not be surprised if this stupid stunt led to another off period.

That’s a personal subjective opinion.

Yes, but how one views it is totally subjective. Case in point: Yoko Ono, she’s popular in the art abstract world and has a huge following, but I think her stuff is crap. I could care less what other art critiques think. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I’m beholding her art is crap, that’s my personal subjective opinion and I’m not wrong because it’s my personal opinion. No person can dictate what is good or bad art, you can apply that to food or music. As a musician, I’m a huge fan of Allan Holdsworth, most people don’t know who he is and the average that has listened to his fusion style of guitar playing think he’s way out there, some say good, some say, strange, it’s all subjective, but to me and other fellow musicians he’s one of the best guitarists out there after Hendrix.
Again, that’s your personal opinion and I do respect that.
bass4funk
Yes, you can, I personally wouldn’t, but you can if you so choose. Listen to early Zappa...
Yes, but whether a person likes your music at that point has his/her personal opinion of what they think sounds good.
But that has nothing to do with your personal subjective opinion of whether you think an art piece is good or not.

Why not? I can use my money any which way I want.
They might, but as a buyer, I do not and I could care less what the experts think.
bass4funk
uhh, how would you know that?
Ok, so more bloviating
I think art would be however you interpret it, it’s what you want it to be or how you see it, it’s subjective and in that case, Trump is spot on.

That is your personal definition, but acting is an art, it is a skill of pretending to be something or someone that you’re not whether it is live or if it is on the TV
Most are especially the liberals ones that try and tell everyone how to think, feel and whom to vote for.
there’s nothing to do with the president, it has everything to do with their often eccentric hypocritical behavior
Well, you wouldn’t know and I wouldn’t know, at this point it’s only liberals just speculating
bass4funk
Which can be an art form as well.
bass4funk
That would be Bill

Either way, how you perceive them and evaluate them is a personal opinion.
