People reported. <\/a><\/p>\nThat\u2019s when Clooney took a piece out of Trump, who had criticized Clooney and Clooney\u2019s wife, human rights attorney Amal, for recently accepting French citizenship. <\/p>\n
\u201cBonsoir, mes amis,\u201d Clooney said, wishing those in the crowd a good evening in French. <\/p>\n
He added: \u201cC\u2019est un honneur d\u2019\u00eatre ici,\u201d (\u201cit\u2019s an honor to be here\u201d).<\/p>\n
Cheadle got in on the act, wishing Clooney \u201cbonsoir\u201d or \u201cgood evening.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump in December had lambasted the Clooneys for accepting French citizenship. <\/p>\n
\u201cGood 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,\u201d the president wrote on Truth Social. <\/p>\n
Clooney at the time fired back: \u201cI totally agree with the current president. We have to make America great again. We\u2019ll start in November,\u201d referring to the the 2026 midterm elections, when control of Congress will be decided. <\/p>\n
The French government had the time welcomed the Clooneys. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted, like many French people, to welcome George and Amal Clooney into the national community,\u201d the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Dec. 31.<\/p>\n
Trump and Clooney have battled ever since Clooney penned an op-ed in the New York Times in 2024 that urged then-President Joe Biden to withdraw that year\u2019s race for the White House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hollywood A-lister George Clooney isn\u2019t done pushing back at President Donald Trump.
