The Hollywood actor is a prominent donor to the Democratic Party in the United States. In recent years, that has regularly led to criticism from President Trump, who has called him a “second-rate movie star,” among other things. According to Clooney, it didn’t bother him much. “It’s not my job to keep the President of the United States happy.”

    Anyone would have a better life in France instead of the US but good for him. Glad to see there’s still some backbone in Hollywood.

      How is earning another nation’s citizenship having a backbone?

        I don’t know if cloony said it before, but a bunch of actors said they’d “leave the country” if Trump got elected, then didn’t. So it’s nice to see someone follow through
