In a startling escalation of a decades-long feud, President Donald Trump has suggested revoking Rosie O'Donnell's U.S. citizenship via a post on Truth Social.
According to Yahoo! News, this latest clash unfolded after Trump criticized O'Donnell as a threat to humanity, prompting a fierce response from the comedian and actress on Instagram.
The conflict between Trump and O'Donnell is not new, as the two have publicly sparred for years over political and personal differences. O'Donnell, a well-known television personality and outspoken critic of Trump, has consistently voiced her opposition to his policies and character. Over the years, Trump has retaliated with sharp comments, often targeting O'Donnell's public persona and statements.
Earlier this year, O'Donnell made a significant life change by relocating to Ireland with her 12-year-old daughter, Clay. She announced this move in a TikTok video shared in March, marking a new chapter in her life abroad. Despite the distance, O'Donnell has not hesitated to continue her vocal criticism of Trump from overseas.
On Saturday morning, Trump took to Truth Social to express his frustration with O'Donnell in a pointed message. In his post, he suggested that her citizenship should be taken away, claiming she is detrimental to the nation. Trump wrote, "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."
He further stated, "She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her." Trump concluded his message with a patriotic note, saying, "GOD BLESS AMERICA!" This provocative statement quickly drew attention, reigniting the public tension between the two figures.
Less than two hours after Trump's post, O'Donnell fired back with a series of passionate Instagram updates. She did not hold back, labeling Trump as harmful to the country and a danger to its values. In one post, she wrote, "the president of the USA has always hated the fact that I see him for who he is - a criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself."
O'Donnell continued, stating, "This is why I moved to Ireland - he is a dangerous old soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy compassion and basic humanity." She added, "I stand in direct opposition all he represents- so do millions of others." Her posts also questioned Trump's motives, asking if he intended to target all who oppose him.
In another Instagram update, O'Donnell took a jab at Trump's mental state and their long-standing animosity. She wrote, "Hey Donald – you’re rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours." She further declared, "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."
O'Donnell also shared visual content, including a photo of Trump alongside the late Jeffrey Epstein. Additionally, she posted a screenshot of Trump's Truth Social message and artwork with a critical depiction of him. In one caption, she referenced a supposed list, stating, "He is on the list—it exists," despite official statements from the U.S. Justice Department denying its existence.
Her Instagram posts garnered significant attention, with many users engaging in the comment sections. Among those offering support were notable figures like Melanie Griffith, Lesley Ann Warren, Busy Phillips, and Margaret Cho. These celebrity endorsements highlighted the widespread interest in O'Donnell's stance against Trump.
The exchange between Trump and O'Donnell has once again brought their feud into the spotlight, captivating social media audiences. Both parties have used their platforms to express unfiltered opinions, drawing polarized reactions from the public. The intensity of their words reflects deep-seated personal and ideological differences that show no sign of resolution.
This latest episode is just one chapter in a long history of public disagreements between the two. O'Donnell's move to Ireland has not diminished her willingness to confront Trump on various issues. Meanwhile, Trump's suggestion of revoking her citizenship has added a new layer of controversy to their ongoing battle.
As this story unfolds, it remains unclear whether Trump's comments will lead to any formal action regarding O'Donnell's status. For now, her responses on social media indicate she has no intention of backing down from the fight. The clash continues to fuel discussions about free speech, citizenship, and the boundaries of political criticism in the digital age.
