George Clooney responded to Donald Trump's recent insults by staying cool and unbothered during an interview on "CBS Mornings." Clooney laughed off Trump's jab at him as a "second-rate movie star," even joking that it might be true. However, when it came to Trump's criticism of his political views, Clooney didn't hold back, emphasizing that his job is to speak the truth, not please the president. He acknowledged that backlash over his political opinions is nothing new and that everyone has the right to criticize him, but he also has the right to share his views. Trump had targeted Clooney on Truth Social after the actor criticized the current administration.
