Snarky responders need not reply. Move along and share your views elsewhere.

I have always heard he is a nice guy. It also sounds like he is a gentleman

to be clear.....it is for the WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS ROOM.....

The new machine was accompanied by a personalized note from Hanks, which urged them to "Keep up the good fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Especially the Truth part."

The espresso machine appears to be a Pasquini Livia G4, which retails for $2,219.
