Trump, ironic attack on the Clooney family. US President criticizes France for “disastrous management of immigration”
Donald Trump on Wednesday welcomed, in his characteristic style, the fact that George and Amal Clooney received French citizenship, considering the two among “the weakest political analysts of all time”, at the same time accusing the French authorities of “absolutely disastrous management of immigration”.

“Good news! George and Amal Clooney, two of the worst political pundits ever, they officially became French citizens“, said Donald Trump on his Truth Social network, writes AFP.
The American president, accustomed to incendiary attacks against his political opponents, has particularly emphasized his criticism against immigration in Europe, one of his favorite themes since the 2024 campaign, the News writes.
“Unfortunately, France is currently facing a serious crime problem due to the absolutely disastrous management of immigration, similar to what we had under sleepy Joe Biden,” he added, reprising his favorite insult to designate his Democratic predecessor to the White House.
Without citing reliable statistics, Donald Trump regularly makes a direct connection between crime and immigration.
George Clooney has long been an important supporter of the Democratic camp. And for the Republican president, the American actor “became better known for politics than for his infrequent, utterly mediocre films.”
As for his wife, lawyer and human rights activist Amal Clooney, she was part of a panel of experts that advised the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor who sought arrest warrants against two Israeli ministers, including Benjamin Netanyahu, and three Hamas leaders.
A decision that caused the anger of the Israeli government, but also of the United States, its main military and diplomatic supporter.
In France, the naturalization of the couple and their two children also made waves, but mainly because of the government irregularities it generated, a minister denouncing “two measures” in the context of tightening the conditions for access to citizenship.
