Former President Donald Trump was not happy when actor George Clooney threw in his two cents about President Joe Biden and his bid to stay in the White House.
Clooney wrote an op-ed in the New York Times urging Biden to drop out of the presidential race, the IJR reported.
Although Trump has criticized and mocked Biden, especially since the June 27 presidential debate, he has encouraged Biden to stay in the race — the antithesis of Clooney’s suggestion, per The Hill.
“So now fake movie actor George Clooney, who never came close to making a great movie, is getting into the act,” Trump said inon Truth Social. “He’s turned on Crooked Joe like the rats they both are. What does Clooney know about anything?”
“Clooney should get out of politics and go back to television,” Trump posted. “Movies never really worked for him!!!”
Trump’s words were in response to Clooney’s New York Times op-ed that was published Wednesday.
Clooney wrote the Democrats are “not going to win in November with this president.”
Cloone has been a long-time Democrat and has called Biden a “friend.”
“I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals,” he said. “In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced.”
“But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can,” Clooney said. “It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser 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.”
Trump also criticized Clooney’s opinion of Biden.
“He uses the Democrat ‘talking point’ that Biden, the WORST President in the history of the United States, has ‘saved our Democracy,’” Trump posted. “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.”
“Crooked Joe Biden didn’t save our Democracy, he brought our Democracy to its knees,” he added.
