The long-running feud between Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell just took another explosive turn.
On Wednesday, the former president logged onto his platform, Truth Social, and reignited their decades-long war of words. Posting an unflattering photo of the actress, Trump told his followers he’s giving “serious thought” to revoking Rosie’s U.S. citizenship.
“She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!” Trump wrote, sparking immediate backlash online.
Rosie Hits Back — And She Doesn’t Hold Back
Rosie O’Donnell wasted no time clapping back, dragging Trump with a sharp jab that had fans buzzing.
Quoting Succession patriarch Logan Roy, Rosie quipped: “Succession’s Logan Roy would be proud.”
But she didn’t stop there. Her full response struck at a much bigger issue:
“I’m the distraction — EPSTEIN SURVIVORS are the reckoning and your gold lamé throne is melting.”
The actress’ reply tied Trump’s insult to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which has once again dominated headlines after survivors and lawmakers gathered at Capitol Hill this week demanding the release of more Epstein files.
The Epstein Angle
Rosie has been outspoken in her support of survivors, reposting clips from the Capitol rally on her social feeds and calling for transparency about Epstein’s powerful network.
Many critics online seized on Rosie’s point, suggesting Trump’s obsession with her feud is meant to distract from deeper controversies.
Although Trump’s name has long circulated in rumors about Epstein’s client list, Epstein’s former lawyer David Schoen previously insisted the late financier had “no dirt” on Trump.
Still, with the Epstein files remaining one of the most sought-after pieces of information in Washington, Rosie’s swipe landed right in the middle of an ongoing cultural firestorm.
A Feud That Goes Back Decades
Trump and Rosie’s feud is nothing new—it’s practically pop culture history at this point.
Their back-and-forth stretches all the way back to the early 2000s, with insults exchanged on everything from late-night TV to campaign rallies.
- In 2006, Rosie blasted Trump on The View, calling him a “snake-oil salesman.”
- Trump famously fired back, labeling her a “loser” and a “pig.”
- Fast forward to 2025, and the insults have only escalated—now with Trump threatening to strip away her citizenship.
In July, he first floated the idea of revoking Rosie’s U.S. passport, which he has no legal authority to do.
Rosie’s Life Abroad
Adding another layer to the drama, Rosie recently moved to Ireland ahead of Trump’s inauguration earlier this year.
The comedian and actress, who has Irish grandparents, is currently in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship.
In March, she told fans she would consider returning to the U.S. “when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights.”
For now, it seems Rosie is watching American politics from afar while continuing to use her platform to spotlight issues that matter most to her—including Epstein survivors.
What’s Next?
Trump is set to hit the campaign trail again as he eyes another potential run, while Rosie shows no signs of backing down.
Their feud has now stretched across decades, multiple platforms, and even international borders—and this latest round proves that neither one plans to let go anytime soon.
Bottom Line
Trump vs. Rosie isn’t just celebrity beef anymore. It’s become a symbol of America’s deep divides—fueled by politics, power, and personality clashes too big to ignore.
And if history tells us anything, this fight is far from over.
Do you think Trump and Rosie will ever call a truce—or is this feud destined to last forever?
