Khaberni - In a new political-media skirmish, international star George Clooney broke his silence to respond with calculated sarcasm to attacks by US President Donald Trump.
This came after he obtained French citizenship, and the French radio station "20 Minutes" considered that Clooney's response carried a clear political message, linking America's future to a crucial electoral challenge the Democrats face this coming fall.
American actor George Clooney, who has become a target of Donald Trump's attacks following his acquisition of French citizenship, responded coolly to the American President.
After the criticisms Donald Trump leveled at George Clooney following his recent acquisition of French citizenship, the American actor's response was calm but biting, hinting that the midterm elections could return the United States to the right track, according to what was reported by Variety magazine.
The actor, who now holds both American and French citizenships and is known for his long-standing commitment to the Democratic camp, sent an indirect message to the Republican president, saying, "I completely agree with the current president. We need to make America great again. And we'll start in November."
A clear indication of the Democrats' potential to regain a majority in the House and Senate in the upcoming elections, as the report clarified.
George Clooney and French Citizenship
George Clooney, his wife, and their children, who spend part of the year at their property in the Var region in southern France, obtained French citizenship on December 27. This decision sparked widespread reactions, the most notable of which was Donald Trump's comment on Wednesday.
Through his social network, the American President posted several messages combining personal attacks on George Clooney with criticisms of French and European immigration policy.
Reactions within France
The controversy was not limited to the United States, as the naturalization process of George Clooney also sparked a debate within France. Despite the American actor's admission of not speaking French well, on Wednesday, the junior minister to the Minister of the Interior, Marie-Pierre Vedrine, expressed her questions about the naturalization process, considering it could send an "unfortunate message."
