George Clooney has been drawn into a heated debate with Donald Trump and his administration following the actor's accusations of "war crimes" against the president. Clooney stated that support for a conservative viewpoint has its limits in ethics and objectives, emphasizing: If someone wishes to bring civilization to an end, that is a serious accusation that cannot be ignored. The White House responded immediately through its communications director, Steven Cheung, who mocked Clooney by calling him a "terrible actor" due to his films. The Oscar winner harshly criticized this response, saying there is "no time for childish insults when families are losing loved ones, children are burning, and the global economy is at risk." He clarified the concept of war crimes according to the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute, rhetorically questioning the administration's defense beyond personal insults. This clash is not new; previously, Trump had called Clooney a "second-rate movie star and failed political commentator." The actor humorously partially accepted the insult, but when it comes to political issues, he did not hesitate to give a direct response: My job is not to please the president.
