Anderson Cooper just aired a short segment from his interview with actor George Clooney, discussing his Broadway directorial debut, Good Night, and Good Luck—a play about journalist Edward R. Murrow’s confrontation with McCarthy-era fearmongering.
Screenshot from Anderson Cooper 360. The interview started off with Anderson Cooper trying to paint Trump’s first 136 days in his second term as the “worst” in America’s history.
That was a claim so absurd that even Clooney couldn’t bite on that.
“I can make an argument that we’ve had much worse times in our history,” Clooney responded.
“[In] 1968, every city in the United States was burning. There was National Guard surrounding the White House and the Capitol, and we’d lost Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy and Tet Offensive (Vietnam War).”
The conversation quickly shifted to how now is a “scary time” to be in the news industry, at least according to Clooney.
Why? Because Trump is finally holding the media accountable for lying to the American public, like his $20 billion lawsuit alleging that 60 Minutes deceptively edited their Kamala Harris interview to favor Democrats.
But Clooney classified Trump’s action as demagoguery.
Here’s the allegedly deceptive CBS edit—exposed by popular X clipper @Mazemoore, who caught the stunt back in October 2024.
He wrote at the time, “Remember Kamala’s word salad answer about Israel on 60 Minutes? It’s gone. This is what many Americans will now see.”
Then came Clooney’s grim prediction for MAGA.
Cooper asked Clooney, “Do you think Trumpism lasts beyond this term?”
“Don’t think so,” Clooney responded. “I think it’d be very hard to do it.”
Putting on his “expert” hat, Clooney explained why he believed MAGA was done for good after Trump finishes his second term.
“He [Trump] is also a celebrity, and he is charming. And to the people who like him, they think he’s funny. To a great many others, they don’t. And so when he is finished, and he will be finished, they’re going to have to go looking for someone who can deliver the message that he delivered with the same kind of charisma. And they don’t have that.”
This is not the first time Clooney has made a bold prediction about Trump. Back in 2016, he forecasted:
“There’s not going to be a President Donald Trump. Fear is not going to drive our country.”
It turns out Clooney was wrong—twice.
Clooney exposed himself, once again, as being wildly out of touch with everyday Americans. In his Hollywood bubble, Trump’s rise is just a glorified fan club.
But in 2028, he’s in for a rude awakening because MAGA isn’t a fan club. It’s a reckoning. And it’s not going anywhere.

Clooney just another driftwood actor that’s never been on stable gorund in his life.
People look for results. Talk is cheap.
It almost seems like Clooney is unaware of the existence of either JD Vance or Marco Rubio. Trump has been creating men out of boys. That is how you pass the baton so you’re not a one-song wonder.
As usual, Anderson Cooper gets it 100% backwards.
A pickle-smuggling, peter-puffing, lying liberal wanker?
George Clooney has as much credibility on political matters as he does on medical issues - b/c he played a doctor on TV, that makes him a medical expert, right?
Needs to be ignored, but won’t be by the msm b/c they agree 100% with him.
The gravest thing about George Clooney is the grave he is digging himself.
“… who can deliver the message that he delivered with the same kind of charisma. And they don’t have that.”
Trumps VP can deliver MAGA more eloquently and smoothly than Trump ever did. I sometimes get frustrated listening to Trump when he starts to repeat or wander.
Good. He has been wrong so often that this gives me a lot of hope...
After the Tet Offensive, the Viet Cong was never a threat to the South or the USA again.
Charlie broke his back on Tet.
It was the North that hereafter did all the fighting. And most of that was after the so-called Paris Peace Agreements.
Clooney is so full of himself. He is a poseur.
He has been promoted for decades as something when he has never been one to open a movie, always part of an ensemble.
He is a reliable liar for the democrat party. His looks were never much but now he looks like a hound dog.
His wife is a supporter of terrorists and mass murderers as she supports arresting Netanyahu and she tried to get the mass killer for Qaddafi released.
lol. Butt butt Anderson is a fag.
Sen. McCarthy was right.
We didn’t lose Tet either.
Boy, Clooney is Looney.
Cue Micky Rooney and Judy Garland.
There are many reasons people voted for Trump. They like his product is the major reason. They agree with what he is selling..
The democrats just are unable to comprehend that. Everything to RATs is about personality, or appearances of their popularity. When it comes to product for democrats, they force their policy onto people and hire celebrities to try and pretty up the garbage they are implementing.
People have caught on to that and many up and walked away. They needed those illegals because of that. It was the final straw for many.
He should have interviewed Peter bootyplug.
Clooney is making a Broadway play about McCarthy? Get over it already!*
*And McCarthy was right.
