has
slammed
Donald
Trump
along
with
the
White
House

strategist
Stephen
Bannon,
calling
them
"Hollywood
elitists."
Clooney
further
drawing
Meryl
Streep's
comment
on
Trump
said
that
Donald
Trump
who
has
22
acting
credits
under
his
belt
is
actually
the
real
elites
in
Hollywood.
"When
Meryl
Streep
spoke,
everyone
on
that
one
side
said,
'Well
that's
elitist
Hollywood
speaking.'
Donald
Trump
has
22
acting
credits
in
television," Clooney
stated
during
an
interview.
Clooney
continued
saying,
"Donald
Trump
Collects
$120,000
a
year
from
his
Screen
Actors
Guild
pension
fund.
He
is
a
Hollywood
elitist."
George
Clooney
also
took
down
Steve
Bannon
and
said
he
is
a
failed
personality.
"Steve
Bannon
is
a
failed
film
writer
and
director.
That's
the
truth,
that's
what
he's
done," said
Clooney
"He
wrote
a
Shakespearean
rap
musical
about
the
L.A.
riots
that
he
couldn't
get
made.
He
made
a
lot
of
money
off
of
'Seinfeld.'
He's
elitist
Hollywood,
I
mean
that's
the
reality."
the
actor
added.
"We
have
a
demagogue
in
the
White
House.
We
need
the
fourth
estate,
which
is
journalists,
to
hold
his
feet
to
the
fire."
stated
Clooney.
"They
didn't
do
a
very
good
job
during
the
campaign.
And
they
haven't
done
a
particularly
good
job
yet.
But
those
things
will
change," the
Money
Monster
actor
added
further.
