Tom Hanks wouldn't want 'The Post' to be screened for President Donald Trump. Hanks portrays famed editor Ben Bradlee in Steven Spielberg's new movie, which is about the Washington Post defying threats from then-President Richard Nixon to publish the Pentagon Papers stories in 1971. Traditionally, President's can screen films and meet the film's stars at will. But Hollywood and President Trump have a contentious relationship. Hanks admitted he would turn down an invitation to the White House because of President Trump's attacks on the free press and parallels between the world now and what is documented in the film.
