The long-running feud between Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell just took another dramatic turn.
Trump escalated their decades-old war of words with a new ultimatum.
And Donald Trump had some bad news for Rosie O’Donnell that she’s going to hate.
Trump renews threat to strip Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship
President Donald Trump reignited his nearly two-decade feud with comedian Rosie O’Donnell by renewing his threat to strip her of U.S. citizenship.
"As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship. She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!" Trump posted on Truth Social.¹
This latest threat referenced his July post where Trump first floated the idea of revoking O’Donnell’s citizenship.
Back in July, he wrote on Truth Social: "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. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"²
O’Donnell fired back at the time with a reference to the villainous 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 shot back on Instagram.³
The constitutional reality behind Trump’s threat
While Trump can threaten all he wants, the Constitution makes his plan legally impossible.
The 14th Amendment grants citizenship to anyone born in the United States.
O’Donnell was born in Commack, New York, which means no president has the power to revoke her citizenship.
But O’Donnell apparently took Trump’s threats seriously enough to start making backup plans.
She moved to Ireland in January 2025, shortly before Trump’s second inauguration.
O’Donnell is working to obtain Irish citizenship through her Irish grandparents, which would make her a dual citizen.
She cited the "current political climate" as her reason for fleeing the country.
"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.⁴
The decades-long Trump-O’Donnell war
The feud between Trump and O’Donnell stretches back nearly 20 years to 2006.
It started when O’Donnell criticized Trump on The View for his decision to give a second chance to a Miss USA winner who faced drug use allegations.
The bad blood boiled over during the 2015 Republican primary debates when a moderator asked Trump about his past use of derogatory terms to describe women.
"Only Rosie O’Donnell," then-candidate Trump fired back without hesitation.⁵
But even hiding out in Ireland couldn’t stop O’Donnell from stepping in it again.
Late last month, she went on one of her typical unhinged rants about the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting.
She posted this video claiming the shooter was some kind of "MAGA supporter" and "White supremacist."
Complete garbage, of course. Turns out the shooter had actually scribbled "kill Donald Trump" on one of his gun magazines and hated everything Trump stood for.⁶
When the facts came out and made her look like the fool she is, O’Donnell had to crawl back and apologize.
"I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement, and I said things about the shooter that were incorrect," she admitted in her pathetic mea culpa.⁷
But then she couldn’t help herself – she had to throw in some excuse about how she "assumed" the shooter was one of those "NRA-loving kind of gun people."⁸
Translation: she saw a school shooting and immediately blamed conservatives because that’s what these people always do.
Look what this really shows about celebrity privilege
Here’s what makes this whole situation so telling about how the left operates.
O’Donnell spent years attacking Trump and his supporters from her perch in Hollywood.
She spread lies about school shootings and pushed conspiracy theories about conservatives.
But the moment Trump won the election, she packed up and fled to Ireland faster than you can say "tax haven."
You want to know what this really means?
It shows the complete lack of backbone these celebrity leftists have when they actually have to live under the policies they spend years demanding.
O’Donnell was perfectly happy to lecture Americans about politics from her mansion.
But when faced with actually living in Trump’s America, she grabbed her Irish passport application and ran for the exits.
The woman who spent years calling Trump a threat to democracy just admitted she doesn’t even want to live in the country she claims to care so much about.
And now she’s hiding behind the same constitutional protections she spent years attacking while demanding Ireland take her in.
For someone who talks such a big game about fighting tyranny, O’Donnell sure folded quickly when it came time to actually stay and face the music.
Trump’s threat might be legally toothless, but it’s already accomplished what it was designed to do – expose O’Donnell as the coward she really is.
