President Donald Trump has unleashed a scathing attack on George and Amal Clooney following news that the couple has obtained French citizenship. On New Year’s Eve, Trump took to Truth Social to mock the Hollywood star and the human rights lawyer.
While he sarcastically labeled their move “good news,” he used the opportunity to criticize France’s immigration policies and crime rates. Trump also took personal jabs at Clooney’s career, calling his films “mediocre” and branding the couple “two of the worst political prognosticators of all time.”
Reigniting Old Feuds
The rant appears to stem from lingering political tensions. Trump referenced Clooney’s influential July 2024 op-ed, which urged Joe Biden to step aside for Kamala Harris. He accused the actor of using politics merely for publicity.
Clooney’s Perspective
Although Clooney has not yet responded to this specific outburst, he recently spoke candidly about the President. In an interview with Variety, he recalled knowing Trump as a “goofball” in the New York social scene long before his political rise.
The Clooneys officially became French citizens in December 2025. They reportedly moved to the countryside to raise their eight-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, away from the Hollywood spotlight.
