President Trump delivered a scathing response to George Clooney’s recent appearance on national television, dismissing the Hollywood actor’s interview as a staged publicity stunt and labeling him a “second-rate movie star.”
Clooney, who sat down for a primetime interview on the popular program, discussed politics, social issues, and his personal views on the current administration. The broadcast drew widespread attention, prompting the president to issue a strong rebuke through a series of official statements and social media posts.
Trump accused the network of giving Clooney a platform for what he described as a “puff piece” designed to attack his leadership while shielding the actor from any serious or challenging questions. The president pointed out that the interview conveniently avoided topics that could have cast Clooney or his political allies in a negative light.
According to Trump, the segment further exposed what he claims is the entertainment industry’s alliance with mainstream media outlets to undermine his administration. He dismissed Clooney’s political commentary, asserting that the actor lacks credibility and has no role in shaping policy debates.
Trump’s latest remarks intensified the ongoing clash between his administration and Hollywood figures who have become vocal critics of his policies. The president reiterated that he remains focused on running the country and will not be swayed by celebrity opinions aired on primetime television.
