Donald Trump recently utilized his Truth Social platform to publicly mock George and Amal Clooney for their acquisition of French citizenship, intertwining his jests with critiques of key Democratic political figures, including President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and California Governor Gavin Newsom. Trump stated, "Good News! George and Amal Clooney, two of the worst political prognosticators of all time, have officially become citizens of France which is, sadly, in the midst of a major crime problem because of their absolutely horrendous handling of immigration, much like we had under Sleepy Joe Biden." This statement reflects Trump's consistent rhetoric on immigration and his opposition to the current U.S. administration's policies.

Trump continued his attack by recalling a past instance where Clooney allegedly distanced himself from Joe Biden during a fundraiser following a debate, subsequently aligning with "Jamala(K!)," a derogatory reference to Kamala Harris. Trump further suggested that Harris is now contending with Governor Gavin Newsom for future leadership within the Democratic Party, forecasting their "future defeat." Beyond political criticism, Trump launched personal attacks on Clooney's acting career, asserting that Clooney gained more publicity from politics than from his "very few, and totally mediocre, movies," and was merely an "average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics."

George Clooney, a well-known outspoken critic of Trump and a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party, has consistently rebuffed Trump's insults. In an April interview with CBS, the actor dismissed Trump's remarks, humorously referring to the former president as a "fake movie actor." Clooney emphasized his indifference to Trump's opinions, stating, "I don't care. I've known Donald Trump for a long time. My job is not to please the President of the United States. My job is to try and tell the truth when I can and when I have the opportunity." He acknowledged that such a stance would invite criticism, mentioning Elon Musk as one who has weighed in, but affirmed his right to express opposing views.

In a recent Variety cover story, Clooney further elaborated on his political convictions, specifically addressing potential second-term lawsuits by Trump against media organizations. He strongly advocated for media networks to challenge these lawsuits rather than settling, believing that a robust defense of journalistic integrity is crucial for the country. Clooney asserted, "If CBS and ABC had challenged those lawsuits and said, ‘Go fuck yourself,’ we wouldn’t be where we are in the country. That’s simply the truth." His comments underscore his belief in the media's role in upholding truth and challenging power.
