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?
00:06It was a big thing.
00:09George Clooney shared a message for former President Donald Trump
00:12during his recent appearance on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live.
00:16When the Wolf star wrote a headline-making op-ed in July
00:18calling for President Joe Biden to drop his 2024 re-election bid,
00:23something Biden later did,
00:24Trump criticized Clooney in a post on his Truth Social Network,
00:27saying in part that, quote, fake movie actor Clooney should get out of politics and go back to television.
00:33While chatting with host Jimmy Kimmel, Clooney responded to Trump's suggestion.
00:37Clooney should get out of politics and go back to television.
00:41Movies never really work for him.
00:43I will if he does.
00:46Kimmel also asked Clooney this during the interview.
00:48Have you thought about if Donald Trump wins?
00:53Have you thought about the possibility he might use the power of the federal government against you personally?
00:59Yeah, I have.
01:00But I just I'm comforted in the fact that he's coming after you first.
01:04As far as Clooney's July op-ed,
01:07when Kimmel said it, quote,
01:08had an enormous impact on the presidential election,
01:11Clooney responded, I don't know that that's true.
01:13The bottom line is, OK, the bottom line is that 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,
01:28extraordinary decision is what should be focused on instead of his op-ed.
