John Cusack is rolling his eyes at critics, many of whom are apparent Trumpsupporters, who called him unpatriotic for seemingly staying seated during a military salute.

Cusack, 52, was at a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field when those around him stood for the 7th-inning recognition of U.S. armed forces.

Although a photo tweeted by a local news outlet shows him staying put, Cusack says he did rise it just took him a minute.

I stood up, just not on [cue] like an obedient pet, he tweeted.

To another commenter, he replied, Bullst. You dont support troops more than me. I want them to come home. Ahole.

He then labeled the far-right critics flag-sucking halfwits. MAGA deathkkkultfreaks.

Although he confirmed that he did actually stand, Cusack also emphasized that he is anti-war, tweeting, Being anti-war is pro-troops pro-human.
