In the latest news regarding the upcoming Republican National Convention, former President Trump has taken to social media to slam actor George Clooney for suggesting Joe Biden should bow out of the reelection campaign. Clooney, known for his highly partisan views, claimed that America won’t win in November with President Biden at the helm, prompting Trump to liken both Clooney and Biden to rats in a scathing rebuke.
Trump didn’t mince his words, highlighting Biden’s disastrous track record from weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents to overseeing record inflation and a humiliating exit from Afghanistan. He mocked Clooney’s defense of Biden’s so-called successes and urged the actor to stick to television, implying that politics isn’t his strong suit.

Despite Clooney’s softening tone in the op-ed where he professed admiration for Biden’s character, he didn’t hold back in pointing out what he perceived as Biden’s decline. Trump called out Clooney’s praise of Biden as a hero who supposedly saved democracy in 2020, labeling it as utter nonsense and a desperate attempt to gaslight the public.
The delay in Clooney’s revelation about Biden’s decline, following a pricey fundraiser, raised eyebrows among conservatives who have long been critical of the president’s cognitive abilities. Trump’s humorous jabs at Biden, coupled with his skepticism over the effectiveness of upcoming press conferences, underscore the growing doubts surrounding Biden’s leadership as the election approaches.
