Donald Trump fumed over George Clooney’s 60 Minutes interview on Sunday and claimed that the “failed political pundit” dumped former President Joe Biden “like a dog.”
Clooney, a Democrat who endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential marketing campaign, appeared on the CBS program on Sunday to advertise his Broadway debut, the place he stars as pioneering journalist Edward R. Murrow in Good Night and Good Luck.
In the dialogue, the two-time Academy Award winner mentioned that the Trump administration has disdain towards a free press, and his choice to name on Biden to step off the Democratic ticket final summer season.
In a late-night Truth Social tirade, the president criticized Clooney’s politics and appearing prowess.
“Why would the now highly discredited 60 Minutes be doing a total ‘puff piece’ on George Clooney, a second-rate movie ‘star,’ and failed political pundit,” Trump mentioned. “He fought hard for Sleepy Joe’s election and then, right after the Debate, dumped him like a dog.
Then, Trump turned his attention to his former Democratic rival Kamala Harris, whom he beat at the ballot box in November before his return to the White House earlier this year.
“Later, I assume under orders from the Obama camp, pushed all out for ‘Kamala,’ only to soon realize that that was not going to work out to well,” he continued. “60 Minutes even fraudulently inserted Fake answers into her disastrous interview, aired just before Election Day, in one of the most embarrassing and dishonest events in broadcast history…
“And now George Clooney again? His press agent should be making a fortune!!!,” he concluded.
In his dialogue with Jon Wertheim, Clooney mentioned there have been parallels between what was taking place in actual life and the play, pointing to Trump’s ongoing lawsuit with CBS and settlement with ABC News.
