The president also touched on how Clooney “abandoned” former President Joe Biden following his infamous July 2024 altercation with Trump.

“Recall that Clooney dumped Joe during a fundraiser after the now-infamous debate, but sided with another star candidate, Jamala (W!), and is now taking on the worst governor in the country, including Tim Waltz and Gavin Newscum, who will likely defeat Democrats in the future.”

Trump concluded his post by decrying Clooney’s acting career, arguing that he was now known for his interest in politics rather than his “very few and completely mediocre movies.”

“Clooney got more publicity for politics than he did for his very few and completely mediocre movies. He was by no means a movie star, just an average guy who constantly complained about common sense in politics. DON’T MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” the president wrote.
