Breaking: George Clooney Fires Back at Trump After US President Mocks His French Citizenship
Hollywood star George Clooney has pushed back against former U.S. president Donald Trump after Trump publicly mocked the actor’s decision to become a French citizen, turning what might have been a light celebrity moment into a pointed political exchange. The Clooney family — George, his wife Amal Clooney, and their twin children — were granted French citizenship in late December 2025 after years of living on their estate in southern France, a move the actor has described as prioritising his family’s privacy and quality of life.
Trump took to his social platform on New Year’s Eve to ridicule the news, sarcastically calling it “Good News!” before launching into a broader critique of both the Clooneys and France. In his post, the former president labelled George and Amal “two of the worst political prognosticators of all time” and disparaged France’s handling of crime and immigration, framing the citizenship as evidence of broader political and social failings.
The president didn’t stop at citizenship. He also took aim at Clooney’s career and political engagement, dismissing his long history in Hollywood and claiming the actor has received more attention for his political commentary than his movies. “He wasn’t a movie star at all, he was just an average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics,” Trump wrote, capping his criticism with his trademark slogan “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Clooney’s response was sharp, but strategic. Rather than engage in personal retaliatory insults, he turned Trump’s own slogan against him. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Clooney said: “I totally agree with the current president. We have to make America great again. We’ll start in November.” That reference to November’s midterm elections was widely interpreted as a suggestion that political change — particularly Democratic gains in Congress — was the start of making America “great again.”
The exchange underscores how celebrity and politics continue to intersect in American discourse. Clooney, an outspoken supporter and fundraiser for Democratic candidates for years, has not shied away from political commentary — including a high‑profile 2024 New York Times op‑ed urging then‑President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race. That history was referenced by Trump in his post and adds context to the escalating public back‑and‑forth between the two figures.
The timing of the comments — amid growing political tensions ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — gave Clooney’s reply extra weight. By echoing “Make America Great Again,” he managed to appropriate Trump’s messaging while signalling support for his own political side without a direct electoral campaign. The subtle yet pointed nature of his response drew attention far beyond entertainment circles and into political commentary arenas.
The broader backdrop to the story is also worth noting: France’s decision to grant citizenship to the Clooneys came as France was tightening its naturalisation requirements, including language and civic tests. That context sparked debate in France about fairness and privilege, with some government voices questioning whether the Clooneys received special treatment, even as the French government publicly defended their decision.
