One video featuring the Say Anything star quickly gained traction, as he didn’t hold back his feelings. In the interview with CNN, the actor was asked, "What is the story of Chicago?"
“Go to hell,” Cusack bluntly responded, without hesitation. “What’s interesting is that he [Trump] doesn’t understand all the labor rights from around the world came from this town, this place. So, if he thinks this place is gonna be a fascist hub. No chance.”
