George Clooney Lashes Out After Donald Trump Calls Him A ‘Fake Movie Actor’
Most people have an opinion on politics these days and they aren’t afraid to speak it, even if it is not necessarily the most popular opinion. Of course, there are also some who have the attention of millions of people when they speak.
One individual who has been outspoken about his views on politics is George Clooney. As an actor, millions of people have appreciated his abilities and they will swarm to the theater to watch him.
It seems as if Pres. Donald Trump may not be in attendance, however, because he has lashed out at George Clooney in recent months. This isn’t only because of his political agenda, he also considers him to be a bad actor.
George Clooney has heard the rumblings on social media and he also has a response. In speaking with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, he simply said: “I don’t care.”
This may have something to do with George Clooney being busy in his Broadway debut. He is playing a part in the production, ‘Good Night, and Good Luck’. The actor put aside the criticism from Donald Trump, saying: “I’ve known Donald Trump for a long time. My job is not to please the President of the United States.”
He went on to say: “My job is to try and tell the truth when I can and when I have the opportunity. I am well aware of the idea that people will not like that, people will criticize that. Elon Musk has weighed in. That is their right. It’s my right to say the other side.”
In their discussion, Clooney spoke about a previous time that he was on the show and recalled a moment he shared with his wife. He said: “I remember we were here with you once before and I remember we said we’d never had an argument.”
He then went on to bring it up again, saying: “We still haven’t. We are trying to find something to fight about!”
Some of this started after Donald Trump went on his Truth Social platform to speak about the piece that 60 Minutes did on George Clooney. He said: “Why would the now highly discredited 60 Minutes be doing a total ‘puff piece’ on George Clooney, a second rate movie ‘star,’ and failed political pundit”
Why would the now highly discredited 60 Minutes be doing a total “puff piece” on George Clooney, a second rate movie “star,” and failed political pundit. He fought hard for Sleepy Joe’s election and then, right after the Debate, dumped him like a dog. Later, I assume under orders…

He has actually spoken about Clooney in a number of his social media posts, mocking his career and his opinion on politics. He even went so far as to call Clooney a ‘fake movie actor’.
Trump also wrote about George Clooney and his association with Joe Biden. He said: “George Clooney, who never came close to making a great movie, is getting into the act.
“Crooked Joe Biden didn’t save our Democracy, he brought our Democracy to its knees. Clooney should get out of politics and go back to television. Movies never really worked for him!!!”
