George Clooney thinks the riots in Washington D.C. will consign President Donald Trump to the “dustbin of history”.
The ‘Midnight Sky’ actor-and-director thinks the former ‘Apprentice’ star and his family will now “forever be associated with insurrection” because of the way the president’s supporters stormed the Capitol building earlier this week.
He said: “This puts Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr. Ivanka, all of them, into the dustbin of history. That name will now forever be associated with insurrection.”
George admitted he found the scenes “devastating” to watch but thinks the incident finally marked a turning point that stopped people from ignoring Trump’s outrageous antics any longer.
He said: “It’s devastating to watch the people’s house being desecrated in that way.
“But it is also a tremendous overreach in a way — everybody kept waiting for, what’s the one thing, the straw that breaks the camel’s back and it just seemed like that line just kept getting moved and moved and moved and outrage didn’t even matter anymore, even to the point of calling the Secretary of State in Georgia and pressuring him. None of that seemed to matter. This mattered.
The 59-year-old star referenced how former White House Chief of Staff General Kelly said recently that if he was in the cabinet he would have voted for the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office and admitted he is “hopeful” that the shocking scenes will make people realise change is needed.
Speaking on KCRW’s ‘The Business’ podcast, he added: “This is a big, big difference.
“If this is what it takes to set us on the right path, I think that, not that it’s worth it, it’s not worth it in any shape or form, but at least we should find something hopeful to come out of some of this disaster.”

From rebound to real romance? Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund have kept a relatively low profile since first being linked, but they are still going strong. Us Weekly broke the news in March 2019 that the Scream Queens alum and the Country Strong star are dating following her split from on-again, off-again fiancé Evan Peters. “Garrett and Emma have been friends, but this is new, casual and just a couple of weeks old,” a source told Us at the time. Relationship speculation began when the pair was spotted out for a stroll in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Hedlund “had his arm around [her] for a bit and then they were holding hands,” according to an eyewitness. As for Roberts and Peters, the American Horror Story costars “were heading for a split” before she moved on. “[They] now are just friends,” an insider said. “Evan has moved out. It wasn’t a bad breakup.” The Nancy Drew star and the X-Men: Days of Future Past actor were less under the radar during their years-long relationship. They began dating in 2012. She made headlines in 2013 when she was arrested following a fight with Peters that left him with a bloody nose. Their reps told Us at the time that the altercation was an “unfortunate incident and misunderstanding” and she “was released after questioning” and “working together [with Peters] to move past it.” The duo got engaged in 2013 but split briefly in 2015 before reconciling the following year. Their struggles were not over, though. Us confirmed in October 2017 that Roberts was involved in Rachel Bilson’s breakup from Hayden Christensen earlier that year. A source revealed at the time that the Hart of Dixie alum found text messages that made her believe the Star Wars actor was having an inappropriate relationship with the Unfabulous alum. In November 2017, a source told Us she was “still very much together” with Peters despite the allegations. Hedlund, for his part, previously dated Kirsten Dunst from 2011 to 2016. Scroll down to revisit Roberts and Hedlund’s relationship, from the time Us exclusively revealed their pairing to now!
