Trump again floats revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s US citizenship<\/p>\n
President Trump renewed his feud with comedian Rosie O\u2019Donnell by threatening to revoke her U.S. citizenship again.<\/p>\n
Straight Arrow News<\/p>\n
Comedian Rosie O’Donnell<\/a> revealed that she missed her daughter’s college graduation after moving to Ireland, a decision she attributed to President Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, the\u00a0comedian and former talk-show host<\/a>, 63, opened up about her move away from the United States, a decision sparked by the political climate following\u00a0Trump’s<\/a>\u00a0election win in 2024. O’Donnell, who has five children<\/a>, has criticized the president after he threatened to revoke the American-born actress and host’s U.S. citizenship<\/a>, despite the lack of constitutional power to do so.<\/p>\n In a Sept. 8 episode of the “No Filter” podcast<\/a>, O’Donnell said her security staff advised her not to return to the United States for her daughter’s graduation, adding that the president would “use me to rile his base.”<\/p>\n “I’m his nemesis in his mind and to them,” she told podcast host Kate Langbroek. “To a third of the country. That’s a very difficult place to be.”<\/p>\n In an Instagram post in May<\/a>, the comedian celebrated her daughter’s achievement.<\/p>\n “My smart beautiful loving daughter vivi is graduating from college,” O’Donnell said in the post. “im so proud of her!!!!”\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘He went after me because he’s misogynistic and sexist’<\/p>\n On the podcast, O’Donnell confirmed that she has never actually had a conversation with Trump despite previously attending his wedding. The move, according to O’Donnell, took a toll on certain relationships in her life, emphasizing that the decision was about self-preservation rather than making a political statement.<\/p>\n “I knew that the last time he was in office was very difficult for me. I was eating too much. I was drinking too much,” she disclosed. “I was talking about him in 2007, and he hasn’t stopped using me as a punchline ever since. Many, many, many male comedians did what I did and worse, but he didn’t go after them in the way he went after me because he’s misogynistic and sexist and cruel.”<\/p>\n O’Donnell added that the tumult with the president took a burden on her mental health. She recounted an experience at a CVS store where a man wearing a MAGA hat approached her and her child, saying: “Screw you. Trump won.”<\/p>\n “I wanted to take her to a place where decency still lived and where I wouldn’t have to witness what he was going to do to the country, which he outlined in the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025<\/a>,” she added.<\/p>\n The White House dismissed O’Donnell’s accusations of Trump targeting her because she is a woman.<\/p>\n “The President\u2019s comments about Rosie O\u2019Donnell have nothing to do with her gender and everything to do with her terrible personality and the fact that she is a threat to humanity!” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told USA TODAY in a statement.<\/p>\n Trump threatened to revoke O’Donnell’s\u00a0citizenship<\/p>\n Trump has repeatedly dangled the idea of revoking O’Donnell’s<\/a>\u00a0citizenship, including in a July 12 Truth Social post<\/a> where she said the comedian is “not in the best interests of our Great Country.”<\/p>\n “She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” Trump wrote.<\/p>\n Birthright citizenship \u2014 explicitly granted by the 14th Amendment \u2014 says that virtually anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen.<\/p>\n “As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O\u2019Donnell’s Citizenship,” Trump said alongside a distorted image<\/a> of the comedian’s face. “She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!”<\/p>\n Contributing: Anna Kaufman, Jay Stahl, and Edward Segarra<\/p>\n
