President Donald Trump unloaded on actor George Clooney in a scathing New Year’s Eve Truth Social post, calling the actor an \u00ab\u00a0average guy who complained, constantly\u00a0\u00bb about politics.<\/b>
\nPresident Donald Trump slammed George Clooney as an \u00ab\u00a0average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics\u00a0\u00bb, adding the actor \u00ab\u00a0wasn’t a movie star at all\u00a0\u00bb and has garnered \u00ab\u00a0more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies.\u00a0\u00bb
In a scathing New Year’s Eve Truth Social post, Trump called the \u00ab\u00a0Jay Kelly\u00a0\u00bb star and his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, \u00ab\u00a0two of the worst political prognosticators of all time\u00a0\u00bb after the couple’s recent announcement that they’ve been granted French citizenship.
\u00ab\u00a0Good News! George and Amal Clooney, two of the worst political prognosticators of all time, have officially become citizens of France which is, sadly, in the midst of a major crime problem because of their absolutely horrendous handling of immigration, much like we had under Sleepy Joe Biden\u00a0\u00bb, Trump wrote.
The president also referenced how Clooney \u00ab\u00a0dumped\u00a0\u00bb former President Joe Biden after his infamous debate with Trump in July 2024.
\u00ab\u00a0Remember when Clooney, after the now infamous debate, dumped Joe during a fundraiser, only to go onto the side of another stellar candidate, Jamala(K!), who is now fighting it out with the worst governor in the Country, including Tim Waltz, Gavin Newscum, for who is going to lead the Democrats to their future defeat\u00a0\u00bb, he railed.
Trump concluded his post by roasting Clooney’s acting career, arguing he is now better known for his involvement in politics than his \u00ab\u00a0very few, and totally mediocre, movies.\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0Clooney got more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies. He wasn\u2019t a movie star at all, he was just an average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!\u00a0\u00bb the president wrote.
When asked for comment by Fox News Digital, Clooney responded with the following statement: \u00ab\u00a0I totally agree with the current president. We have to make America great again. We\u2019ll start in November.\u00a0\u00bb
Trump’s attack comes on the heels of Clooney’s recent spat with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, whom he told Variety on Tuesday is \u00ab\u00a0dismantling CBS News as we speak.\u00a0\u00bb
Clooney criticized ABC and CBS for settling lawsuits with Trump, telling Variety the networks should have instead said, \u00ab\u00a0Go f— yourself.\u00a0\u00bb
CBS and ABC have shelled at least $16 million apiece to settle lawsuits brought by Trump. But Clooney, who has been living in France after uprooting his family to get away from the culture of Hollywood, is bothered the networks didn\u2019t fight back.
\u00ab\u00a0If CBS and ABC had challenged those lawsuits and said, \u2018Go f— yourself,\u2019 we wouldn\u2019t be where we are in the country\u00a0\u00bb, Clooney told the outlet.
\u00ab\u00a0It\u2019s a very trying time\u00a0\u00bb, Clooney continued. \u00ab\u00a0It can depress you or make you very angry. But you have to find the most positive way through it. You have to put your head down and keep moving forward because quitting isn\u2019t an option.\u00a0\u00bb
During the interview, Clooney also revealed that while he used to be friendly with the president, political fame has changed Trump over the years.
\u00ab\u00a0I knew him very well\u00a0\u00bb, Clooney told Variety. \u00ab\u00a0He used to call me a lot, and he tried to help me get into a hospital once to see a back surgeon. I\u2019d see him out at clubs and at restaurants.
\u00ab\u00a0He\u2019s a big goofball. Well, he was\u00a0\u00bb, the actor said. \u00ab\u00a0That all changed.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n
