Donald Trump opens fire on ‘second rate’ George Clooney and hits nothing but air

Because this how the president plans to "make America great again."

Nobody holds a grudge longer than a man-child who acts like a petulant child throwing tantrums around the clock and demanding adoration for his mindless tactics. Since we are getting a little too specific here, the topic for today is America’s 48th president George Clooney getting what he couldn’t…

… i.e., coming out of a 60 Minutes interview looking good and someone with enough brain cells to have logical opinions. Something that Clooney bagged with incredible ease when he appeared on the recent episode of the renowned newsmagazine and slammed the Trump istration’s ongoing push of “using the government” to stifle journalists in order to dominate the “freedom of the press.” So far, Trump and team have sued ABC News and are currently in the process of suing CBS News and 60 Minutes for $10 billion. Add this to the ousting of news organizations from their workspaces at the Pentagon in favor of more pro-Trump outlets.

You get zero points to guess who decided to type out a vitriolic, insensitive message to criticize 60 Minutes, Clooney, looped in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and yelled “fake news” yet again while ignoring to talk about deportation numbers, why he gutted environmental protections, or explaining the logic behind handing out billionaires tax breaks while deficit hit a record $1.147 trillion.

Where is this frankly childish ire coming from? Well, it goes back to Trump’s first and only interview with 60 minutes back in 2020, just before Biden won the election. At the time, the current POTUS abruptly ended the interview with host Lesley Stahl after getting increasingly agitated over 45 minutes which saw him facing questions about his stunted responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, his supposed replacement plan for Obamacare that never materialized, or the dip in the percentage of Americans willing to vote for him. His attempts to dodge the questioning by lobbing unsubstantiated allegations at Biden and former President Barack Obama did nothing to alter the course of the interview, thus pushing him to abandon it and refusing to appear with Mike Pence later.

Not that anyone ever forgot the fiasco the interview ended up being, Trump complaining about Clooney getting time on 60 Minutes further shied the spotlight on what his bold claims fail to hide.

Apparently, the president of America has nothing better to do than rant about a celebrity sharing his opinions.

Considering the fact that he is busy repelling and canceling laws and policies in his drive to “make America great again” and devoting what is left to babysit Elon Musk’s son, Trump should probably be lauded for finding the time to watch a celebrity he thinks doesn’t deserve any attention appearing in a show that “highly discredited” him once enough that he backed out of appearing on it a second time in 2024.
