00:00Donald Trump is slamming George Clooney over his New York Times op-ed calling on Joe Biden
00:04to drop out of the presidential election. Trump took to Truth Social to share his thoughts on
00:09Clooney's blunt essay. He wrote in part, so now fake movie actor George Clooney, who never came
00:15close to making a great movie, is getting into the act. He's turned on Crooked Joe like the rats
00:19they both are. What does Clooney know about anything? He concluded his post by writing,
00:24Crooked Joe Biden didn't save our democracy, he brought our democracy to its knees. Clooney
00:28should get out of politics and go back to television. Movies never really worked for him.
00:32It's worth noting Clooney has had a number of successful and acclaimed films. It's been
00:36suggested by political pundits that Trump likely wants Biden to stay in the race, given post-debate
00:41polls that show Trump increasing his pre-debate lead. However, a new poll Thursday shows the two
00:45as essentially tied nationally. Biden's own team fired back at Clooney's essay late Wednesday,
00:50where the actor and director said that the Biden he spent time with at a recent fundraiser is not
00:54the same man who won in 2020, but instead the man America witnessed during the June 27th debate.
01:00According to New York Times congressional correspondent Annie Carney, a source familiar
01:04with event planning for the fundraiser said, quote, the president stayed over three hours at the
01:08fundraiser while Clooney took a photo quickly and left. The president's campaign has also pointed out
01:13that Biden attended the fundraiser, having just flown in from Italy, where he had been attending the G7
01:18summit. For more on this story and all the latest news, go to THR.com. This is the Hollywood Reporter News.
