George Clooney Surprises Trump with Supportive Message

During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, George Clooney delivered a surprising message to President Donald Trump, expressing hope for his success in office, stating, 'Good for you. I hope you do well because our country needs it.' Clooney, a lifelong Democrat, reflected on his voting experiences and the nature of democracy, emphasizing the importance of graciousness in both winning and losing. He used the example of his seven-year-old son playing chess to illustrate that acknowledging opponents is crucial, saying, 'You shake the guy's hand and say good game, I’ll get you next time.'

The actor’s remarks come in the context of his support for Kamala Harris in the recent election cycle, highlighting the ongoing political discourse in America.
