Trump lashes out on Rosie O’Donnell, threatens to take away US citizenship
President Trump on Saturday lashed out against comedian Rosie O’Donnell, calling her a “threat to humanity” and noting that he is “seriously considering” revoking her citizenship.
“Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” Trump wrote in a Saturday morning Truth Social post.
“She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” he added.
O’Donnell, a long-time critic of the president, relocated to Ireland over her distaste with the president and his administration.
The comedian, in response to Trump’s Saturday post, called the president a “criminal,” “con man,” and “sexual abusing liar.”
“I stand in direct opposition [of] all he represents,” she wrote on Instagram. “So do millions of others.”
Since Trump returned to the White House earlier this year, the administration has sought to revoke green cards from foreign-born students activists who have criticized the country’s foreign policy decisions, particularly amid the Israel-Hamas war. The administration maintains it is following the law and these individuals are threats to the the country.
In March, O’Donnell uploaded a post on TikTok with her daughter, telling followers, “When, you know, it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back.”
“It’s been heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know,” O’Donnell added.
She later said she was “sleeping better” after the move to a community that was “welcoming” and “loving” signaling that an end to her feud with Trump wasn’t near in sight.
O’Donnell first came to blows with the president in 2006 when she called Trump a “snake-oil salesman” for allowing former Miss USA, Tara Conner to keep her title amid drug-use allegations.
From there, the two’s hope for a clear sailing relationship has veered off course.
“Rosie is a very unattractive person, both inside and out,” Donald Trump said in a decades old interview on “Entertainment Tonight.”
“She’s basically a disaster,” he concluded.
