Rosie O’Donnell Takes the Bait When Trump Trolls Her with Threat to Strip Citizenship [WATCH]

President Donald Trump and comedian Rosie O’Donnell renewed their long-standing feud over the weekend in a social media back-and-forth that began with Trump’s statement suggesting he is “giving serious consideration” to revoking O’Donnell’s American citizenship.

The clash began Saturday with a post from President Trump on Truth Social, where he described O’Donnell as a “Threat to Humanity” and said he was contemplating revoking her U.S. 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.

“She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her,” he continued. “GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

O’Donnell, 63, relocated to Ireland in January following Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

She and her 12-year-old child, who is non-binary and autistic, moved to the coastal suburb of Howth, located just outside Dublin.

In March, O’Donnell confirmed they were working toward acquiring Irish citizenship.

The former talk show host responded with a series of Instagram posts, one of which featured an image of President Trump alongside convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In her posts, O’Donnell accused Trump of being a “dangerous old soulless man” and claimed she continued to live “rent-free” in the president’s mind nearly two decades after their public feud began.

“Hey Donald – you’re rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours,” O’Donnell wrote.

“You call me a threat to humanity – but I’m everything you fear: a loud woman a queer woman. A mother who tells the truth an American who got out of the country b4 u set it ablaze,” she added.

“You crave loyalty – I teach my children to question power you sell fear on golf courses – I make art about surviving trauma you lie, you steal, you degrade – I nurture, I create, I persist. You are everything that is wrong with America… I’m not yours to silence. I never was.”

According to U.S. law, American citizens cannot be stripped of their citizenship solely for acquiring a second nationality or for political speech.

O’Donnell was born in Commack, New York, and retains U.S. citizenship despite her move to Ireland.

The public dispute marks the latest episode in a long history of hostility between the two figures.

Their feud began in 2006 after O’Donnell criticized Trump’s behavior on “The View,” specifically referencing the controversy surrounding that year’s Miss USA pageant.

Trump, who was then the owner of the Miss Universe Organization and the host of “The Apprentice,” responded by attacking O’Donnell’s appearance and speech.

“You take a look at her, she’s a slob. She talks like a truck driver,” Trump said in an interview with “The Insider” at the time.

Their feud resurfaced during the 2015 Republican primary debate when moderator Megyn Kelly questioned Trump about his past remarks about women.

Trump responded, “Only Rosie O’Donnell.”

O’Donnell has remained an outspoken critic of President Trump throughout both of his terms in office.

In an April interview with CNN, she explained that her decision to move to Ireland was a direct response to Trump’s return to the White House.

She told the network, “It’s bad as they promised and even a little bit worse and it’s been heartbreaking and personally very very sad to watch.”

In a June interview with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation’s “Chris Cuomo Project” podcast, O’Donnell expanded on her motivations for relocating, citing access to services for her child and concern about Trump’s policy plans.

“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.

O’Donnell also reflected on the emotional toll she experienced during Trump’s first term, saying, “I was very, very depressed. I was overeating. I was overdrinking.”
