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’s mistake is seeing Trump as a personality cult and a charm offensive, meanwhile Trump advocating policies that have been ignored forever is what is mostly getting him the votes, and Clooney should know this since we had a huge amount of people in 2024 who voted Trump who never even voted Republican before, and that was because again of policy, not personality
That's where you are wrong, George. Unlike Democrats, we don't give a rat's ass about 'charisma' or 'popularity'. That's High-school and college frat stuff. We care about the nation and our children's and grandchildren's future. We don't care if the person is ugly as a warthog as long as he or she can deliver the results we want...................
See post #3..............
Well bless his heart for worrying about MAGA.....now sod off jackass.
If his last name wasn’t ‘Clooney’ he’d be selling used cars in Loma Linda...................
I hope George likes the taste of crow.
Correct.
“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.”
Guess he’s never heard of JD Vance, Ron DeSantis or Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
What would we Americans do if we didn’t have two-bit celebrities worrying about our welfare? Flake off Georgie boy. We’re grownups. We can handle it without shrinks and other far left kooks.

They keep thinking that once Trump is gone, their problems are gone. Trump is a manifestation of the working class revolt against globalists all over the world. Someone else will fill that vacuum eventually. The elites still have no clue about what is happening.
He looks a little bit worse every time I see him.
I can somewhat see Clooneys point. JD needs to win to keep the momentum. He can deliver. If he doesn’t, what Republicans have the balls Trump and Vance have? Answer. Right now no one.
Butt, butt, butt, they believe they are sooooooooo brilliant.
Well George Cloony is far more gracious to Trump than Scott Ritter has ever been... Ritter is an “expert” and Cloony is the actor. Anderson Cooper is... well... Anderson Cooper. I don’t pay that much attention to talking heads but there are clips galore.

Rubio has been impressive and has charisma.
I will make a prediction about Clooney. He will get to old he can barely walk, and then he will make a series of scrappy movies portraying an old crabby tough guy and will try to make as much money as he can, and then he will die.
