Overview

• George Clooney responded to Donald Trump's Truth Social post calling him a 'second-rate movie star' by stating he 'doesn't care' about the president's opinion.
• Clooney emphasized his focus on truth-telling and defended the right to free speech, including criticism directed at him.
• The actor appeared on CBS Mornings to promote his Broadway role as journalist Edward R. Murrow in 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' a play exploring media accountability.
• Trump's recent comments followed Clooney's March appearance on 60 Minutes, where he criticized the administration's actions against the press and highlighted concerns about government pressure on journalism.
• The ongoing feud stems from Clooney's July 2024 New York Times op-ed urging Joe Biden to step aside, which Trump previously criticized as disloyal and politically misguided.
