Tom Selleck says he stays out of politics to avoid upsetting half the country

Actor Tom Selleck told CNN during a tour of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library that he considers President Donald Trump a “mixed bag” but chooses to stay out of current politics. Selleck said, “Why piss off half the country when you’re in the business of entertaining people?” He added that his long‑standing friendship with the Reagans and his own veteran background keep him focused on entertainment rather than partisan debate.

The interview highlighted Selleck’s recollection of a White House dinner attended by the Reagans and Princess Diana, and reiterated his view that remaining neutral protects his career and audience.
