Far-left actor and political expert wannabe George Clooney blasted Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump for his remarks about illegal immigrants — especially those from Mexico.
Speaking at a news conference Saturday at the Toronto Film Festival, Clooney referred to Trump’s comments as “idiotic” and said that history will not smile on the billionaire real estate developer, according to the Daily Mail.
“Clearly, what he said is idiotic,” Clooney told reporters. “Of course it’s idiotic.”
Clooney was noting Trump’s comments, when he announced his candidacy, referring to Mexican illegal immigrants as “rapists” and other countries saddling the U.S. with their problems.
“Anybody who says as intolerant words as those should be laughed at, and that’s pretty much [what] I think eventually history will do,” Clooney said.
Clooney also expressed shock at the supercharged candidate’s rising poll numbers.
“Who’d have thought Donald Trump would be at 30 percent?” he asked.
Trump is the first GOP candidate out of a field of 16 to break through the 30 percent mark. A CNN/ORC poll released last week gives him 32 percent support among likely Republican voters.
Each time Trump makes a comment most observers believe is outrageous, his poll numbers seem to rise.
He called the United States “a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems” at his June campaign kickoff.
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” he said. “They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us,” he said before getting to specifics.
“They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
The Daily Mail reported:
Clooney, 54, isn’t the only Hollywood star to speak out against Trump recently. Matt Damon, Clooney’s former co-star in the ‘Ocean’s’ franchise, said last month that Trump’s comments were ‘disgusting.’
Damon, whose wife Luciana Barroso is an Argentine immigrant, said: ‘He is talking about anyone who lives south of our border in inhuman terms. He is talking about my wife, my daughters.
Musicians Shakira and Ricky Martin and actress Eva Longoria have also voiced their disapproval of Trump.
In her book “Shut Up & Sing,” conservative author and radio talk show host Laura Ingraham had remarked on the tendency of entertainers to spout off on things political of which they usually have very little understanding.
In Clooney’s case, he should shut up and act.
Even though Looney is retreating to the UK he is one of BO's biggest and most loud-mouthed supporters.
George Crooney!? Oh No!
Well, that’s it. Trump’s done.
And we should care, why?
George is more than a little full of himself... like ALL the Hollywierdos
I wonder where HE got his Political Science degree
Who gives a rats behind what Clooney has to say?
Clooney’s attacks will help Trump. They will help define him as a counter leftwing culture hero. :)
“I wonder where HE got his Political Science degree”
Clooney may be an idiot but one does not need a political science degree to know what’s going on. As a matter of fact, poli sci majors are not your friends. How many freepers have such degrees? You? Not me.
Clooney, Damon .... (yawn) ... who cares?
The most devastating thing for cLooney would be for Trump to completely ignore him.
feh...
True...but I am pretty certain that ANYONE here has read more than George....and more than all of those ‘entertainers’ put to gether.
Everytime any one of them opens his/her mouth... it’s apparent that they got their ideas ‘premasticated’, as it were, from the MSM and from their BS political idols who themselves have NO concept of the way the world works. No one who is at all well read would say the things these idiots do.
Actually-no one with any common sense would say that stuff.
None of the Hollywierd types seem to have had a ground in the basices of history, economics, political science, etc. That’s what I meant.
That metrosexual pansy has as much significance as a buzzing mosquito.
Another of the countless reasons to like Trump, if Clowney hates him, that’s a good thing!
Gee, I wonder what Pauly Shore thinks about Chinese hegemony, or the plight of the Kurds?
Trump has all the right people against him.
And because he married a "hot" stick girl...
More credentials on the plus-side for Trump......
Clooney needs to get an education from a reputable university. His shallow comments, lack of understanding of the context, lack of understanding the meaning of words, and warped and twisted ability to connect dots are evidence that he lacks brain power and vocabulary.
We know he can read, I think.
Trump has a knack for accumulating the right enemies. Clooney is a globalist shill.
Clooney is such a narcissistic & pompous a$$ that he cant see that his opposition helps Trump.
Most observers, ha. Just say it! Libs
