Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney shot back at President Donald Trump after the former president unleashed a wild attack on the actor and trashed his movies over Clooney’s decision to leave the U.S. for French citizenship.

The 64-year-old Oscar winner, along with his wife Amal Clooney and their two children, officially became French citizens this month after years of living at their swanky estate in Provence. This news left Trump fuming.

On New Year’s Eve, Trump took to Truth Social with a scathing post, slamming the Clooneys as “two of the worst political prognosticators of all time.”

“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,” Trump wrote.

He continued with a confusing and critical rant: “Remember when Clooney, after the now infamous debate, dumped Joe during a fundraiser, only to go onto the side of another stellar candidate, Jamala(K!), who is now fighting it out with the worst governor in the Country, including Tim Waltz, Gavin Newscum, for who is going to lead the Democrats to their future defeat. Clooney got more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies. He wasn’t a movie star at all, he was just an average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics.”

Trump’s tirade comes shortly after George Clooney spoke out about Trump’s MAGA-fied America in a cover story for Variety Magazine published earlier this week. Clooney expressed concern that CBS News’ new MAGA-friendly boss, Bari Weiss, is “dismantling” the station, warning that Americans won’t be able to “discern reality without a functioning press.”

In response to Trump’s attack, Clooney fired back to The Hollywood Reporter with a sharp comeback: “I totally agree with the current president. We have to make America great again. We’ll start in November.”

Meanwhile, Bari Weiss also responded to Clooney’s comments with a courteous but pointed challenge: “Bonjour, Mr. Clooney! Big fan of your work. It sounds like you’d like to learn more about ours. This is an open invitation to visit the CBS Broadcast Center, where I’m spending the holidays working to relaunch the Evening News with my colleagues. Tune in January 5.”

The spat highlights the ongoing cultural and political clashes between Hollywood figures and former President Trump’ supporters as the nation prepares for another heated election cycle.
