Donald Trump tells George Clooney to “go back to TV” over Biden article: “Movies never worked out”

Donald Trump has told George Clooney to “go back to television” after he called on Joe Biden to step down, adding “movies never really worked for him.”

President Biden performed poorly in the first debate against Trump on June 27, appearing to lose his way several times, causing many of his supporters to call into question his ability to continue in the fight for the White House.

Concerns were further heightened last night (July 11) at a press conference at the NATO Summit where Biden mistakenly referred to Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “President Putin” and to his Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump”.

Clooney published an op-ed piece in the New York Times this week in which he encouraged Biden to step down as the Democratic nominee, saying he has the power to save democracy by doing so.

Trump has now fired back on Truth Social. “So now fake movie actor George Clooney, who never came close to making a great movie, is getting into the act. He’s turned on Crooked Joe like the rats they both are.”

“What does Clooney know about anything?” Trump continued. “He uses the Democrat ‘talking point’ that Biden, the WORST President in the history of the United States, has ‘saved our Democracy’.”

“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. Clooney should get out of politics and go back to television. Movies never really worked for him!!!” he concluded.

Clooney is far from the only figure in the entertainment industry to call on Biden to step aside ahead of the election. Stephen Colbert said that “it is possible that handing leadership to a younger generation is the right thing for the greater good”, while Stephen King claimed that “it’s time for him…to announce he will not run for re-election”.

When Harry Met Sally… director Rob Reiner has also shared his concerns about Biden’s physical competence for the upcoming election.

“If the Convicted Felon wins, we lose our Democracy. Joe Biden has effectively served US with honour, decency, and dignity. It’s time for Joe Biden to step down,” Reiner wrote on X.

Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof is another calling for Biden to step down: “Biden has to go & the Dems need to wake up,” he wrote in a column for Deadline.

“When Joe finally leaves the mound, I will stand and applaud. Because he truly pitched a great game,” he added.

Biden maintains that he intends to remain in the race, believing he is the Democrat best positioned to defeat Trump.
