The Hollywood actor is a prominent donor to the Democratic Party in the United States. In recent years, that has regularly led to criticism from President Trump, who has called him a “second-rate movie star,” among other things. According to Clooney, it didn’t bother him much. “It’s not my job to keep the President of the United States happy.”

    ITT: people not realizing his wife was born in Lebanon. Are they safer than your average non-pure-white family? Absolutely. But they have legitimate reasons to be scared.

    Also apparently she’s a human rights lawyer so she’s bound to have pissed off republicans one way or another already.

        Yeah I get hating rich people, because fuck inequality, that’s true, but the Clooneys seem like pretty decent people to me as far as rich celebrities are concerned.

          He for sure has too much money(Google said $500 mill) but he’s small time compared to the richest and the corporations that are doing the most damage to the future. I doubt more than a few folks interested in eating the rich are champing at the bit to get at Clooney.

          George Clooney did a pretty good job (just like all the other actors) in the 2000 Coen Brothers film “O Brother Where Art Thou”. Seriously!
