Trump slams ‘fake movie actor’ George Clooney after calls for Biden to step down – Washington Examiner

Former President Donald Trump slammed actor George Clooney on Truth Social after he called for President Joe Biden to step aside from the contest in November.

“So now fake movie actor George Clooney, who never came close to making a great movie, is getting into the act,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “He’s turned on Crooked Joe like the rats they both are. What does Clooney know about anything? He uses the Democrat ‘talking point’ that Biden, the WORST President in the history of the United States, has ‘saved our Democracy.’”

Clooney is a prominent Democratic supporter who has donated nearly $1.4 million to political organizations, the vast majority of it going to Democrats. He supported former President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, Hillary Clinton in 2016, and Biden in 2020.

“It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal‘ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate,” Clooney wrote in an op-ed.

“No, Crooked Joe was the one who WEAPONIZED Law Enforcement against his political Opponent, who created the most devastating INFLATION in the history of our Country, who Embarrassed our Nation in Afghanistan, and whose crazy Open Border Policy has allowed millions of people to illegally pour into our Country, many from prisons and mental institutions,” Trump continued in his post. “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!!!”

It’s unclear why Trump would slam Clooney for asking Biden, the former president’s political opponent, to step down.

The Trump campaign pointed to a statement Trump made at his recent rally in Florida, in which he said, “Despite all the Democrat panic this week, the truth is it doesn’t matter who they nominate because we are going to beat any one of them in thundering landslides.”

Clooney had not offered any public doubt to Biden’s mental ability before his op-ed, despite years of similar accusations against the president, which Democrats have only picked up on recently.
