Clooney's French Citizenship Ignites Fiery Feud with Trump

Geroge Clooney BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

George Clooney and his wife Amal, along with their seven-year-old twins, were officially granted French citizenship last weekend, as confirmed in a French government bulletin published in the Journal Officiel. The French Foreign Ministry defended the move, citing the couples strong personal, professional, and family ties to France, including Georges global movie star clout and Amals work with French institutions, per reports from NPR and the Associated Press. This caps their 2021 purchase of an 18th-century Provence estate, which Clooney called their primary home in an Esquire interview, prioritizing a fame-free life for his kids over Hollywoods glare.

The news ignited a fiery New Years Eve feud with President Trump, who blasted the Clooneys on Truth Social as two of the worst political prognosticators of all time for their Democratic support and French move, mocking Clooneys movies as mediocre and tying it to Frances immigration woes like those under Biden. Forbes and The New Republic detailed Trumps rant, which referenced Clooneys 2024 push to ditch Biden and back Kamala Harris.

Clooney fired back Thursday with a sly statement to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety: I totally agree with the current president. We have to make America great again. Well start in November, nodding to the 2026 midterms where Democrats aim to reclaim Congress. This barb-heavy exchange, echoing their long history of jabs from Trumps fake movie actor insults to Clooneys goofball label in a recent Variety profile, dominated headlines and could cement Clooneys activist legacy amid his dual citizenship.

No public appearances or business deals surfaced in the past few days, though Clooney joked on his Jay Kelly press tour about his familys fluent French leaving him in the dark on insults, per LA Times and Canal+. Social media buzz centered on Trumps post and Clooneys retort, amplifying their clash without fresh Clooney tweets noted. All info verified from reliable outlets; no unconfirmed rumors.
