Trump Threatens Rosie O'Donnell's Citizenship
Trump Threatens Rosie O'Donnell's Citizenship
President Trump raged Saturday that he’s giving “serious consideration” to taking away comedian Rosie O’Donnell’s US citizenship, arguing his longtime nemesis is a “Threat to Humanity.”
“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 on Truth Social.
O’Donnell, 63, moved overseas, to the Dublin suburb of Howth, in Ireland, with her 12-year-old child in January in response to Trump’s victory against Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
In March, O’Donnell revealed she and her child, who is non-binary and autistic, were in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship following their trans-Atlantic move.
It’s unclear what legal basis Trump could use to strip O’Donnell, who was born on Long Island, of her American citizenship.
Americans cannot lose their US citizenship status even if they obtain citizenship elsewhere.
“She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her,” Trump’s post continued. “GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
The feud between O’Donnell and Trump dates back nearly two decades, to when the “A League of Their Own” actress ridiculed “The Apprentice” star on “The View” in 2006.
At the time, O’Donnell chastised Trump for acting like a “moral authority” when controversy broke out over the winner of that year’s Miss USA pageant.
Trump immediately hit back, describing the lefty comedian as “disgusting both inside and out.”
“You take a look at her, she’s a slob. She talks like a truck driver,” Trump told “The Insider” in 2006.
In August 2015, during the Republican primary debate, then-Fox host Megyn Kelly asked Trump about his use of language like “fat pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs” and “disgusting animals” to describe women.
“Only Rosie O’Donnell,” he retorted.
In April, O’Donnell accused Trump of paying “no mind to any of the laws that the founders stood by and that our country stands for and that is a beacon of shining light and freedom for the rest of the world,” in an interview with CNN explaining her decision to leave the US.
“It’s bad as they promised and even a little bit worse and it’s been heartbreaking and personally very very sad to watch,” she said of Trump’s second stint in the White House.
O’Donnell told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo in June that she believes she can be a better mother in Ireland than in the US under Trump.
“Coming to Ireland was totally a way to take care of myself and my non-binary autistic child, who’s going to need services and help and counseling and all the things that he’s [Trump is] threatening to cut in his horrible plan of the big, beautiful bill,” she said on the “Chris Cuomo Project” podcast.
O’Donnell found coping with Trump’s first term while living in the states “very difficult,” she said.
“I was very, very depressed. I was overeating. I was overdrinking,” she told Cuomo.
