Never one to keep his feelings on Donald Trump quiet, having previously dubbed the U.S. president an “opportunist” and “xenophobic fascist,” George Clooney had fresh words for the billionaire this week. In an interview with French news network Canal+, Clooney hit out at Trump for condemning Meryl Streep’s political comments at this year’s Golden Globes since he himself is an elite member of Hollywood. “There’s a really interesting argument, this is the part that makes you a little crazy,” Clooney said. “When Meryl spoke, everyone on that one side was, ‘Well that’s elitist Hollywood speaking.’ Donald Trump has 22 acting credits in television … He collects $120,000 a year in his Screen Actors Guild pension fund. He’s elitist Hollywood, I mean that’s the reality.”“We have Donald Trump, which is…hard to imagine,” Clooney concluded.
