George Clooney is not holding back when it comes to his feelings about President Donald Trump.
Clooney, 65, was on hand at the Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy, on Wednesday, September 2, to accept the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement Award on the festival's opening day, when he was asked about the current state of affairs back in the United States.
The Oscar winner, who famously lives abroad with his wife, Amal, and their 9-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, admitted he's "ashamed" of the Trump-led U.S. government.
"I do believe… we're at a moment in time that's unfortunate. I think that's an understatement," Clooney, who is no stranger to criticizing 80-year-old Trump, said, per Vanity Fair. "There's a great word, a kakistocracy, which is a country run by the least qualified people. I think maybe we have a kakistocracy right now, but we'll get through it."
With the midterm elections just around the corner in November, the Good Night, and Good Luck star said he's hoping for a "check and balance" in the government, and a return to "normalcy" by the next presidential election in 2028.
