Hollywood star George Clooney has responded with a sharp and witty remark to former United States President Donald Trump following comments about his relocation to France and recent French citizenship. Trump had mocked the actor online, criticising his political stance and celebrating his move outside the U.S.
Eko Hot News reports that the former president’s comment surfaced after confirmation that Clooney, his wife Amal Clooney, and their twin children were granted French citizenship after years of residence and cultural ties to the country. Trump questioned the move and used the opportunity to attack Clooney’s political relevance.
Reacting to the criticism, Clooney delivered a cheeky response by reworking Trump’s popular slogan. The actor said he supports the idea of “making America great again,” but stressed that meaningful progress depends on active civic engagement and democratic participation, particularly through the electoral process.
The response quickly went viral, sparking widespread discussion on social media and drawing reactions from political commentators and entertainment circles. Many users praised Clooney for keeping his reply calm yet pointed, while others viewed the exchange as another example of the ongoing culture clash between Hollywood figures and conservative politicians.
Clooney has long been outspoken on social justice, humanitarian issues, and U.S. politics, frequently using his platform to advocate for democratic values. His public disagreement with Trump dates back several years and has often played out through media interviews and public statements.
Despite the political back-and-forth, Clooney continues to balance activism with his film career and philanthropic work alongside his wife, a prominent human rights lawyer. The latest exchange adds to the list of celebrity-political spats that continue to shape public discourse in the U.S.
