Trump tears into 'average guy' George Clooney who 'complained, constantly, about common sense in politics'
Share and Follow

Former President Donald Trump took aim at George Clooney, labeling him as an “ordinary guy” who frequently criticized practical political ideas. Trump further commented that Clooney “never really achieved movie star status” and claimed the actor received more attention for his political comments than for his limited, lackluster film work.

In a sharp New Year’s Eve post on Truth Social, Trump criticized the “Jay Kelly” star and his spouse, renowned human rights attorney Amal Clooney, as “two of the most inaccurate political forecasters ever.” This criticism followed the couple’s recent announcement about acquiring French citizenship.

“Good News! George and Amal Clooney, two of the worst political prognosticators ever, are now officially French citizens,” Trump posted. He added that France was facing a serious crime issue due to poor immigration policies, likening the situation to the challenges under President Joe Biden’s administration.

Trump also mentioned how Clooney had “abandoned” former President Joe Biden after their notorious debate in July 2024, where Biden faced off against then-candidate Trump.

“Remember when Clooney, after that infamous debate, turned his back on Joe during a fundraiser, only to support another so-called top candidate, Jamala(K!),” Trump continued. He criticized Clooney’s choice, pointing out that Jamala(K!) is now competing against what he considers the worst governors in the country, including Tim Waltz and Gavin Newsom, to determine who will lead the Democrats to what Trump predicts will be their downfall.

Trump concluded his post by roasting Clooney’s acting career, arguing that he is now better known for his involvement in politics than his “very few, and totally mediocre, movies.”

“Clooney got more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies. He wasn’t a movie star at all, he was just an average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” the president wrote.

When asked for comment by Fox News Digital, Clooney responded with the following statement: “I totally agree with the current president. We have to make America great again. We’ll start in November.”

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 “dismantling CBS News as we speak.”

Clooney criticized ABC and CBS for settling lawsuits with Trump, telling Variety that the networks should have instead said, “Go f— yourself.”

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’t fight back.

“If CBS and ABC had challenged those lawsuits and said, ‘Go f— yourself,’ we wouldn’t be where we are in the country,” Clooney told the outlet.

“It’s a very trying time,” Clooney continued.

“It 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’t an option.”

During the interview, Clooney also revealed that while he used to be friendly with the president, political fame has changed Trump over the years.

“I knew him very well,” Clooney told Variety.

“He used to call me a lot, and he tried to help me get into a hospital once to see a back surgeon. I’d see him out at clubs and at restaurants.”

“He’s a big goofball. Well, he was,” the actor said.

“That all changed.”
