00:00Have you thought about writing an op-ed in the Times asking him to step down?
00:03Because it worked once. Why not try it again?
00:09George Clooney shared a message for former President Donald Trump during his recent
00:13appearance on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live. When the Wolfstar wrote a headline-making
00:17op-ed in July calling for President Joe Biden to drop his 2024 re-election bid,
00:22something Biden later did, Trump criticized Clooney in a post on his Truth Social network,
00:28saying in part that, quote, fake movie actor Clooney should get out of politics
00:32and go back to television. While chatting with host Jimmy Kimmel,
00:35Clooney responded to Trump's suggestion.
00:37Clooney should get out of politics and go back to television. Movies never really work for him.
00:44I will if he does.
00:46Kimmel also asked Clooney this during the interview.
00:48Have you thought about, if Donald Trump wins, have you thought about the possibility he might
00:55use the power of the federal government against you personally?
00:59Yeah, I have, but I'm comforted in the fact that he's coming after you first.
01:05As far as Clooney's July op-ed, when Kimmel said it, quote,
01:08had an enormous impact on the presidential election, Clooney responded,
01:12I don't know that that's true.
01:13The bottom line is, OK, the bottom line is that it's very hard to let go of power,
01:18and President Biden did something really extraordinary, really extraordinary.
01:25Clooney went on to say that he thinks Biden's, quote,
01:27extraordinary decision is what should be focused on instead of his op-ed.
