Donald Trump has once again turned his attention to Hollywood — and this time, George Clooney is back in his crosshairs. On Wednesday afternoon, the former US President took to Truth Social to mock Clooney and his wife Amal over reports that the couple have become French citizens, using the moment to launch a broader political rant.
As expected, Trump didn’t stop at Clooney. The post also dragged in familiar targets — Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and the Democratic Party at large.
Trump’s post pulls no punches
In his characteristically combative tone, Trump described George and Amal Clooney as “two of the worst political prognosticators of all time,” claiming their move to France reflected poorly on both the country and their political views. He went on to criticise France’s handling of immigration, drawing parallels with what he called America’s problems under Biden.
The post quickly spiralled into a wider attack on Democrats, with Trump referencing Clooney’s past fundraising efforts and mocking his involvement in US politics. He also dismissed Clooney’s film career, suggesting the actor gained more attention from political commentary than from his movies.
A long-running feud
This isn’t a new clash. Clooney has been a vocal critic of Trump for years and is a strong supporter of Democratic causes. Earlier this year, Clooney brushed off Trump’s insults in an interview, saying he had no interest in pleasing the President and would continue speaking out when he felt it mattered.
He even mocked Trump as a “fake movie actor,” making it clear that political criticism came with the territory — and that he was comfortable with it.
Clooney doubles down on media freedom
More recently, Clooney addressed Trump’s legal battles with US media outlets, urging networks not to back down or settle. He warned that giving in to political pressure weakens democratic institutions and allows intimidation to win.
In his view, standing up to power — even when unpopular — is part of the responsibility that comes with influence.
Final words
Trump’s latest comments underline how deeply personal his disputes with celebrity critics have become, especially as political tensions continue to simmer. For Clooney, the reaction remains consistent — ignore the insults, keep speaking out, and accept the backlash that comes with it.
Whether this exchange fades quickly or sparks another round of public sparring, one thing is certain: the Trump–Clooney rivalry isn’t cooling down anytime soon.
