George Clooney, kot eden izmed največjih zbirateljev denarja za Bidnovo kampanjo, se je v New York Timesu odpovedal Trumpu. Evropski voditelji na vrhu Nata v Washingtonu pa se na skrivaj dobivajo s Trumpovimi sodelavci.

Joe Biden ducked out of the Group of Seven last month to attend a fundraiser where the film star George Clooney helped boost the US president’s reelection campaign coffers by more than $30 million. If G-7 leaders had noticed how aged he was, they kept quiet about it.

But now everyone, from Hollywood royalty to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vermont Democrat Peter Welch, is starting to speak out. Axios reported that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is open to a new nominee to take on Donald Trump in November.

“The dam has broken,” Clooney wrote in a op-ed for The New York Times on the day Biden was muscling through as host of a NATO summit.

The 81-year-old was trying to prove himself ageless to many of the same faces he saw in Italy before his political fortunes changed dramatically with a disastrous performance in a debate with Trump.

“It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate,” Clooney went on. “This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and Congress member and governor who I’ve spoken with in private.”

Even ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, a former Democrat adviser who interviewed him, was caught on video saying Biden can’t serve another four years.

The president has shown his stubborn side. Apparently only the “God almighty” can compel him to quit the race; he’s ordered Democrats to get in line. He’s due to speak today at the close of the NATO summit and the eyes of the world will be unflinchingly upon him.

European officials in Washington, meanwhile, are quietly seeking out meetings with aides to Trump — and Hungary’s Viktor Orban is even seeing the Republican candidate in person — in anticipation that he will reclaim the White House.
