Donald Trump Threatens Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship, She Responds With an Insult

President Donald Trump said this week that he is giving “serious thought” to revoking comedian Rosie O’Donnell’s U.S. citizenship, renewing a dispute between the two that has lasted nearly two decades.

“As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!”

The president had raised the possibility earlier this year, arguing that O’Donnell “is not in the best interests of our Great Country” and calling her a “Threat to Humanity.”

O’Donnell responded Wednesday with a post on social media referencing the character King Joffrey from Game of Thrones.

“Go ahead and try, king joffrey with a tangerine spray tan. i’m not yours to silence i never was,” she wrote.

This Could Be the Most Important Video Gun Owners Watch All Year

Legal experts note that the Constitution does not grant a president authority to strip citizenship from individuals born in the United States.

The 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to all persons born on U.S. soil, and O’Donnell was born in Commack, New York.

O’Donnell relocated to Ireland earlier this year with her daughter following Trump’s 2024 election victory.

She has said she is in the process of securing Irish citizenship to become a dual national.

“When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back,” O’Donnell said in a TikTok video.

During a visit by the Irish prime minister to the White House in March, Trump was asked by a reporter about O’Donnell’s relocation to Ireland.

Before the prime minister could respond, Trump interjected, “Do you know who she is? You’re better off not knowing.”

The feud between Trump and O’Donnell dates back to 2006, when O’Donnell criticized him on The View for his handling of a controversy involving a Miss USA winner accused of drug use.

Their conflict resurfaced during the 2015 Republican primary debate, when Trump was asked about his history of making disparaging remarks about women. “Only Rosie O’Donnell,” Trump replied at the time.

O’Donnell has also courted controversy with her political commentary.

Following a school shooting in Minneapolis last month that left two children dead and more than a dozen injured, O’Donnell posted a video in which she suggested the shooter was a “Republican, MAGA person, [and] white supremacist.”

“What do you know? It was a white guy, Republican, MAGA person. What do you know? White supremacists,” she said in the since-deleted post.

Nowhere did it say he was a white guy, Republican MAGA person. Even his manifesto said he was sorry he let himself be brainwashed into a Trans. A little advice, Rosie, you turned… pic.twitter.com/Dey0FlgVmk

She later apologized, saying she had spoken without verifying details.

“I knew a lot of you were very upset about the video I made before I went away for a few days,” O’Donnell said.

“You are right. I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement, and I said things about the shooter that were incorrect.”

“I assumed, like most shooters, they followed a standard MO and had standard, you know, feelings of… you know, NRA-loving kind of gun people,” she continued.

“Anyway, the truth is I messed up, and when you mess up, you fess up. I’m sorry. This is my apology video and I hope it’s enough.”

The dispute between Trump and O’Donnell shows no sign of waning, with the president now raising the possibility of revoking her citizenship as O’Donnell continues to pursue dual nationality abroad.
