George Clooney who wrote a scathing opinion piece for the New York Times urging Joe Biden to step aside from the presidential election revealing the mood of the Hollywood backers of the Democratic party now has a positive message for President Donald Trump. “Well, I don’t know, what am I supposed to do? Storm the f**ing Capitol,” Clooney said appearing on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. He said he now wants the president to do well because “our country needs it”.
“Good for you. I hope you do well because our country needs it, and we will meet you in 3.5 years and see where we go next,” George Clooney said without naming Trump.
“It’s part of democracy. There are people who agree and disagree, and most of us still like each other, we’re all going to get through it,” he said without criticizing what the Trump administration has done so far or the involvement of Elon Musk in the administration.
“I have a son who plays in chess tournaments, loves chess. He’s seven-years-old and he’s playing against a lot of older kids, and he is not winning all the time, as you can imagine,” said Clooney. “He gets upset, and I say, ‘Listen, shake the guy’s hand, you say good game, I’ll get you next time.’ And that’s kind of how you’ve got to live by those rules.”
When Trump called George Clooney fake movie star
After Clooney made a call for Biden to step aside and Kamala Harris to be made the presidential candidate, Donald Trump called him a fake movie actor. “So now fake movie actor George Clooney, who never came close to making a great movie, is getting into the act,” Trump wrote at that time. “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. Movies never really worked for him!!!”
“I will if he does. That’s a trade-off I’d do,” Clooney said reacting to Trump’s criticism.
