President Donald Trump slammed George Clooney as an "average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics," adding the actor "wasn't a movie star at all" and has garnered "more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies."

In a scathing New Year's Eve Truth Social post, Trump called the "Jay Kelly" star and his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, "two of the worst political prognosticators of all time" after the couple's recent announcement that they've been granted French citizenship.

"Good 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," Trump wrote.

The president also referenced how Clooney "dumped" former President Joe Biden after his infamous debate with Trump in July 2024.

"Remember when Clooney, after the now infamous debate, dumped Joe during a fundraiser, only to go onto the side of another stellar candidate, Jamala(K!), who is now fighting it out with the worst governor in the Country, including Tim Waltz, Gavin Newscum, for who is going to lead the Democrats to their future defeat," he railed.

Trump concluded his post by roasting Clooney's acting career, arguing he is now better known for his involvement in politics than his "very few, and totally mediocre, movies."

"Clooney got more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies. He wasn’t a movie star at all, he was just an average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" the president wrote.

When asked for comment by Fox News Digital, Clooney responded with the following statement: "I totally agree with the current president. We have to make America great again. We’ll start in November."

Trump's attack comes on the heels of Clooney's recent spat with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, whom he told Variety on Tuesday is "dismantling CBS News as we speak."

Clooney criticized ABC and CBS for settling lawsuits with Trump, telling Variety the networks should have instead said, "Go f--- yourself." 

CBS and ABC have shelled at least $16 million apiece to settle lawsuits brought by Trump. But Clooney, who has been living in France after uprooting his family to get away from the culture of Hollywood, is bothered the networks didn’t fight back.

"If CBS and ABC had challenged those lawsuits and said, ‘Go f--- yourself,’ we wouldn’t be where we are in the country," Clooney told the outlet.

"It’s a very trying time," Clooney continued. "It can depress you or make you very angry. But you have to find the most positive way through it. You have to put your head down and keep moving forward because quitting isn’t an option."

During the interview, Clooney also revealed that while he used to be friendly with the president, political fame has changed Trump over the years.

"I knew him very well," Clooney told Variety. "He used to call me a lot, and he tried to help me get into a hospital once to see a back surgeon. I’d see him out at clubs and at restaurants.

"He’s a big goofball. Well, he was," the actor said. "That all changed."

Numerous immigration policy changes were rolled out in 2025, impacting the way people travel, obtain visas and become citizens in the United States. 

Here are five of the biggest changes taking effect: 

The Trump administration unveiled a proposal in September to change how H-1B visas are awarded, a program that has become a cornerstone of the tech industry by allowing U.S. companies to hire highly skilled workers from abroad, including software engineers and data scientists. 

Issued by the Department of Homeland Security, H-1B visas are temporary work permits that have become a vital pathway for U.S. tech companies to recruit global talent.  

The proposal was designed to nudge employers toward offering higher salaries or reserving H-1B petitions for jobs that require advanced skills. The rule change, formally published in the Federal Register, came after President Donald Trump signed a proclamation introducing a $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications. 

DHS said the changes will go into effect in February and are meant to "better protect the wages, working conditions, and job opportunities for American workers.   

"The existing random selection process of H-1B registrations was exploited and abused by U.S. employers who were primarily seeking to import foreign workers at lower wages than they would pay American workers," U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman Matthew Tragesser said in a statement. 

The Department of Homeland Security implemented a new rule on Dec. 26, 2025, that expands facial recognition for non-citizens who are entering and leaving the United States. 

The DHS said on its website that the rule "amends existing DHS regulations to authorize U.S. Customs and Border Protection, an operational component within DHS, to collect facial biometrics from all noncitizens upon entry and exit at airports, land ports, seaports, and other authorized points of departure." 

The rule applies to green card holders and other non-U.S. citizens living legally in the country. 

"Although U.S. citizens are not covered by this rule, they may continue to voluntarily participate in the facial biometrics process at entry and exit," the DHS added. 

The Department of Homeland Security is moving toward scrutinizing the recent social media histories of foreign travelers before allowing them to enter the United States.   

In a notice filed in December in the Federal Register, U.S. Customs and Border Protection wrote, "In order to comply with the January 2025 Executive Order 14161 (Protecting the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats), CBP is adding social media as a mandatory data element for an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) application."  

"The data element will require ESTA applicants to provide their social media from the last 5 years," it added.  

Homeland Security describes ESTA as "an automated system used to determine the eligibility of visitors to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program and whether such travel poses any law enforcement or security risk." 

Trump in December announced the launch of the much-anticipated "Trump Gold Card," an immigration initiative designed to provide a new, streamlined path to U.S. citizenship. 

The card, which has a starting price of $1 million, features a portrait of the president, the Statue of Liberty and the American flag underneath a gold background, with "Trump Gold Card" stamped on the left side.

"We anticipate THE TRUMP GOLD CARD will generate well over $100 Billion Dollars very quickly," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "This money will be used for reducing Taxes, Pro Growth Projects, and paying down our Debt."

Interested parties can apply for the "exclusive privileges" on the official website, trumpcard.gov. According to the site, applicants will submit their documents and pay a nonrefundable processing fee, triggering an accelerated probe by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Once an applicant is approved, a Trump Gold Card will be available for use throughout all 50 states and territories. They will be given lawful permanent resident status as an EB-1 or EB-2 visa holder.

A new version of the U.S. citizenship test is requiring applicants to answer twice as many questions as the old one. 

"The 2025 naturalization civics test is an oral test consisting of 20 questions from the list of 128 civics test questions. You must answer 12 questions correctly [60%] to pass the 2025 test. You will fail the test if you answer 9 of the 20 questions incorrectly," U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said on its website. 

The new test foregoes geographical questions and test-takers will be required to name all three branches of government instead of just one.

"American citizenship is the most sacred citizenship in the world and should only be reserved for aliens who will fully embrace our values and principles as a nation. By ensuring only those aliens who meet all eligibility requirements, including the ability to read, write, and speak English and understand U.S. government and civics, are able to naturalize, the American people can be assured that those joining us as fellow citizens are fully assimilated and will contribute to America’s greatness. These critical changes are the first of many," USCIS Spokesperson Matthew Tragesser said.
