Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar’s investigation found that the text on the shirt has been digitally added. The original photo also dates to over a year before Trump won the presidency. A reverse image search shows that the photograph was taken on September 8th, 2015. In the original, the shirt contains no political message. Instead, the shirt promotes Casamigos Tequila, Clooney’s tequila company.
George Clooney has previously been outspoken in his criticism of former President Trump. For example, in 2017, he told the Daily Beast that Trump was a hypocrite for campaigning against coastal elites while being a coastal elite.
