Donald Trump hit actor George Clooney hit like a 'second -class movie star' when he made the Hollywood legend for comments he made at 60 minutes.
The 63-year-old actor appeared on the news program on Sunday evening to promote his Broadway debut as a renowned journalist Edward R Murrow in Good Night and good luck when he focused on the Trump administration.
Clooney spoke about his decision to drop his support for Joe Biden-to accuse the Democratic Party of 'cowardice' and to cover up the distressing health of the ex-president, while he claimed that he was forced to 'tell the truth' in a bomb that called him to resign.
The president responded quickly to Truth Social to shoot Clooney and the role he played in Biden's ruin.
“Why would the now very discredited 60 minutes do a total 'puff pastry' on George Clooney, a second -class film 'Star' and failed political expert, 'he wrote.
'He fought hard for the election of Sleepy Joe and then dumped him like a dog immediately after the debate. Later I assume that under orders from the Obama camp everything pushed out for “Kamala”, to quickly realize that this would not work too well.
'60 minutes even fraudulent fake answers inserted in her disastrous interview, and just before the election day, in one of the most embarrassing and unfair events in temporary employment history,' said Trump, who repeated claims that he made against the network in his $ 10 billion lawsuit.
'And now George Clooney again? His press agent should earn a fortune !!! '

The president shared his opinion about the interview on Sunday evening on his social social page
The actor was asked Punt Blank about his decision to publish a damn op-ED in the New York Times in the summer entitled 'I Love Joe Biden. But we need a new nominee ' – and whether he would still write the essay if he had known that Trump would win against Harris.
'Yes, I will make it rather easy,' Clooney, a lifelong Democrat and the son of a journalist.
“I was raised to tell the truth.”
He explained that he saw Biden at a Hollywood fundraising in June 2024 'and I was surprised'.
“I feel that there was many profiles and cowardice in my party, and I was not proud of that and I also believed that I had to tell the truth,” Clooney said.
He again confirmed that “I always thought of Joe Biden and I still like him,” but said that his obvious naughty unsuitability made it impossible to defend his record.
However, Clooney also had some pointed words for the Trump government, because he shared what he believed that parallels were between McCarthyism in the 1950s and today.

“We see this idea to use the government to frighten or make a fine or use companies to make journalists smaller,” said Clooney.
'Governments do not like freedom of the press. They never did that, “he explained.
'And that applies to whether you are a conservative or a liberal or any side you are up to you. They don't love the press. '
Clooney specifically pointed out to the decision of ABC News to contribute $ 15 million to the President-elected President of Trump's Presidential Foundation and Museum to arrange a defamation about claims from George Stephanopoulos that Trump Civilly was held liable for the rapist E. Jean Jean Jean.
The actor also mentioned Trump's lawsuit against CBS News, in which he claims that the network intentionally edited Harris' interview in a way that brought him to the presidential elections.
The Federal Communications Commission was forced to release the unprocessed version of the interview in the midst of the claims – and discovered that CBS News only broadcast 20 minutes of their an hour -long interview.
The lawsuit is now underway. Meanwhile, FCC chairman Brendan Carr appointed by Trump must determine whether they should push forward A Proposed merger Between the parent company of the network, Paramount and Skydance.

When Clooney was then asked how the historic television showdown between Edward R Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy are concerned today, he replied that the fight between the government and the press is a “fight for the centuries.”
“You see it happening in the La Times, you see it happening on the Washington Post,” he said.
During the La Times, employees openly protest against the ever -right -wing owner of the newspaper on Slack.
Washington Post -owner Jeff Bezos also fueled the indignation of his staff after he announced plans to revise the opinion page of the newspaper to concentrate exclusively on support for 'personal freedoms and free markets'.
For a long time Washington Post -Columnist Ruth Marcus also finished and complained about Journalistic freedoms are 'dangerously eroded' under Bezos and new boss Will Lewis.
“I love the post. It breaks my heart to conclude that I have to leave, “she said.
Now Clooney says that journalists should remain strong.
“When the other three estates fail, when the judiciary and the executive power and the legislative branches abandon us, the fourth estate must succeed,” Clooney said.
His comments came only a few days after he appeared in the late show with Stephen Colbert, when the Oscar winner shared his feelings about the Democrats who lost the 2024 elections.
'Well, I don't know, what should I do? Storm the f *** ing capitol? “He said that referring to the rebellion of January 6, 2021, which urged applause from the crowd.
Clooney also had an unexpected direct message to Trump, without saying his name: 'Good for you. I hope you are doing well because our country needs it, and we will meet you in 3.5 years and see where we are going. '
