Clooney was not embarrassed to acknowledge Trump’s magnetism.
“They (the Republicans) don’t have as charismatic as he is. He’s charismatic. He won’t take that from him. He’s a TV star,” he said.
Clooney was also more optimistic than many of his compatriots. This period of history, like the volatile nature of the 1960s, was much more dangerous than other stages of American history.
“We were in a much worse place,” he said. “What’s different is the source of information and how many different sources and sources. It’s the only one. But even if it’s violent, it’s not that violent. It’s not as hopeless as it is at the moment.”
Clooney has often been seen as a Democratic ally, but he has not hesitated to criticize party leaders.

Just a few weeks after the essay, Biden dropped out and cleared his way to become a Democratic candidate for Vice President Kamala Harris. Clooney told Tupper that he felt he was trying to speak up as the party leader kept denying the president’s cognitive decline.
in the case of The Democratic Party’s futureClooney came to mind as leaders such as Maryland Gov. Wesmoore, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshir, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. He told Lupone: “We need people to represent us better, to better represent people who have a sense of humor and a sense of purpose.”
Clooney also expressed dissatisfaction with the decision to nominate Harris without primary. Still, he remains optimistic, and with a stronger candidate, Democrats claim to have a real shot to come back A house from a Republican.
“I think we’ll get home back in a year and a half, and that’s a balance between checking power,” Clooney told Lupone.
