George Clooney, the famous Hollywood star known for big hits like Ocean’s Eleven and Gravity, blasted the Trump White House today, calling their “acting criticism” nothing more than “amateur hour.” In a daring interview, Clooney’s criticism of Trump was the main topic of conversation as the ER alum defended his work in the midst of a growing feud between Hollywood and the Trump administration.
Clooney didn’t hold back when he talked to The Hollywood Reporter about the White House acting slam. “They’re out here critiquing acting like they’ve ever been on a set,” he said, referring to recent White House jabs at celebrity endorsements during the 2026 election cycle. George Clooney’s political comments come just after Trump’s team made fun of Hollywood elites for being liberal, which started a new round in the long-running Clooney Trump feud of 2026.
Clooney, a vocal supporter of the Democratic Party and the producer of hits like “The Ides of March,” talked about his many years of experience. “I’ve directed, produced, and acted in movies that made billions of dollars.” “What is their reel?” he asked, making people laugh and pointing out how silly it is for politicians to be film critics. This isn’t Clooney’s first time at the rodeo. He has raised money for Biden and fought with Trump over immigration and climate change, among other things.
The exchange shows that the feud between Hollywood and the Trump administration is getting worse, with stars like Clooney acting as cultural watchdogs. Fans praised his sharp wit on social media, and #ClooneyVsTrump became a worldwide trend.
