00:00Donald Trump is slamming George Clooney over his New York Times op-ed calling on Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential election.
00:07Trump took to Truth Social to share his thoughts on Clooney's blunt essay.
00:10He wrote, in part,
00:12So now fake movie actor George Clooney, who never came close to making a great movie, is getting into the act.
00:17He's turned on Crooked Joe like the rats they both are. What does Clooney know about anything?
00:22He concluded his post by writing, Crooked Joe Biden didn't save our democracy. He brought our democracy to its knees.
00:28Clooney should get out of politics and go back to television. Movies never really worked for him.

00:35It's been suggested by political pundits that Trump likely wants Biden to stay in the race given post-debate polls that show Trump

00:47Biden's own team fired back at Clooney's essay late Wednesday, where the actor and director said that the Biden
00:52he spent time with at a recent fundraiser is not the same man who won in 2020,
00:56but instead the man America witnessed during the June 27th debate.
01:00According to New York Times congressional correspondent Annie Carney, a source familiar with event planning for the fundraiser said,
01:06quote, the president stayed over three hours at the fundraiser while Clooney took a photo quickly and left.
01:11The president's campaign has also pointed out that Biden attended the fundraiser having just flown in from Italy,
01:16where he had been attending the G7 summit. For more on this story and all the latest news, go to THR.com.
