Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday, Good News! George and Amal Clooney, two of the worst political prognosticators of all time, have officially become citizens of France...He wasnt a movie star at all, he was just an average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
The New York Times and other outlets reported this week that France had granted citizenship to the Clooneys and their children. The actor, born in Kentucky, also has citizenship in the United States.
In a statement, Clooney responded to Trumps post, saying, I totally agree with the current president. We have to make America great again. Well start in November.

(17,307 posts)As if he would even know the word prognosticators. Someone in the media should ask him what it means.

(40,101 posts)He also has owned a home in France since 2013 or 2014. Was Joe Biden president then? Now that Clooney has dual French and American citizenships, he's paying taxes to both countries. Is that a problem?

(6,687 posts)Most of the people suffering under Trump don't have the option of owning homes in other countries. He decided to torpedo Biden and now it's others suffering from the consequences of his bruised ego.

It's almost like he was trying to throw the election to Trump. On the bright side he did get to keep his Trump tax cuts.

(8,768 posts)George Clooneys career has taken a downward turn since he questioned Joe Bidens age and physical/mental acuity in print pre 2024 election..and an old resurfaced interview where he referenced his wife Amal Clooneys connection to the Muslim Brotherhood..

(198 posts)There once was a post full of cheer,
From Trump on Truth Social quite clear:
The Clooneys, he cried,
Have skipped stateside,
Theyre French nowgood news, have no fear!
He scoffed at old George on the screen,
No starjust complaints in between!
He moans about sense,
With political pretense,
While I make America great, big and keen!
The papers then chimed with a note:
France welcomed the Clooneys by vote.
Kentucky-born George
Still kept U.S. forge,
But added a tricolor coat.
Then Clooney replied with a grin,
Agreeingthough not how Trump meant it to spin:
Yes, greatness is key,
Well startwait and see
Come November, let progress begin.
