Rosie O’Donnell is firing back at Donald Trump with both barrels after the former president claimed he’s considering revoking her American citizenship.
In a fiery Instagram post on Saturday, the comedian and actress tore into Trump, branding him a “criminal con man” and “sexual abusing liar” who’s out to harm the nation for his own gain.
Rosie Claps Back: “A Dangerous Old Man With Dementia”
O’Donnell didn’t hold back as she responded to Trump’s Truth Social post, where he called her a “threat to humanity” and suggested she should “remain in the wonderful country of Ireland.”
🗣️ “He despises that I speak out against him,” Rosie wrote. “Trump is a dangerous, soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy, compassion, and basic humanity.”
She also reposted an IG Story labeling Trump a “f*ing infestation,”** doubling down on her decade-long feud with the former president.
Trump’s Latest Threat: “Take Away Her Citizenship”
Earlier in the day, Trump went on an unprovoked rant on Truth Social, saying he’s giving “serious consideration to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship.”
🗨️ “She is not in the best interests of our Great Country. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in Ireland if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
But here’s the thing: under the 14th Amendment, a U.S. president has zero legal authority to revoke citizenship from anyone born or naturalized in the country. So, Trump’s threat is more rhetorical than real — but it’s already reignited their infamous war of words.
Rosie Moved to Ireland After Trump’s Election
O’Donnell, 62, left the United States around the time of Trump’s 2017 inauguration, citing safety concerns for minorities and LGBTQ+ citizens under his administration. She later confirmed she was seeking Irish citizenship because her grandparents were born there.
This move seemed to fuel Trump’s anger in his Saturday rant, although he didn’t explain exactly how Rosie is “a threat to humanity.”
A Decade-Long Feud
Rosie and Trump have been publicly feuding since the mid-2000s, with barbed insults flying back and forth over the years:
- In 2006, Trump called O’Donnell a “loser” and a “real beauty” after she criticized him on The View.
- Rosie clapped back by labeling Trump a “snake oil salesman” and mocking his hair.
- During his presidency, their rivalry escalated with O’Donnell becoming one of Trump’s most vocal celebrity critics.
What’s Next?
