Trump Mocking Clooney Couple After Becoming French Citizens

Donald Trump took aim at George and Amal Clooney on Wednesday, after they obtained French citizenship, calling them "two of the worst political prognosticators" in a post on Truth Social. Trump also accused French authorities of "disastrous management of immigration," claiming it has led to a surge in crime. He repeated his pejorative nickname for the current US president, "Sleepy Joe Biden," accusing him of similar problems. Trump has previously criticized George Clooney for his support of Democrats, arguing that the actor's fame is due to his political activity rather than his films. His wife, Amal Clooney, a lawyer and human rights advocate, is linked to the International Criminal Court, which has drawn criticism from the Israeli government and the United States. The Clooney's acquisition of French citizenship has sparked debate in France, with criticism over a lack of transparency and potential unequal treatment compared to other citizenship applicants.
