Rosie O'Donnell vs. Donald Trump: Citizenship Feud Ignites After Ireland Move

The long-simmering feud between comedian Rosie O'Donnell and President Donald Trump has reached a new boiling point, with Trump threatening to revoke O'Donnell's U.S. citizenship after her relocation to Ireland. This clash, spanning nearly two decades, is a saga of personal jabs and public spats that shows no sign of cooling down.

In a recent interview on Irish radio, O'Donnell didn’t hold back, expressing her deep pride in opposing Trump at every turn. She labeled him a danger to vulnerable populations worldwide, accusing him of racism, misogyny, and sexism. At 63, O'Donnell remains a fierce critic, undeterred by Trump’s latest attack where he called her a 'threat to humanity' on Truth Social and suggested Ireland should keep her.

Trump’s post was characteristically blunt: he claimed O'Donnell’s presence was against the interests of the United States and gave 'serious consideration' to stripping her citizenship. O'Donnell fired back on social media, calling Trump a 'criminal con man' and a 'dangerous old soulless man with dementia,' citing his lack of empathy as a key reason for her move to Ireland.

This feud traces back to 2006 when O'Donnell, then a co-host on The View, criticized Trump’s leniency toward a Miss USA winner embroiled in controversy. Trump retaliated by branding her a 'loser' and 'out of control.' Over the years, their exchanges have ranged from petty insults to surprising moments, like Trump’s oddly sympathetic tweet after O'Donnell’s 2012 heart attack. Yet, the animosity has only deepened, especially as O'Donnell became a vocal opponent during Trump’s political rise, endorsing Hillary Clinton in 2016 and warning of his 'madness' in recent TikTok posts.

O'Donnell’s move to Ireland earlier this year, motivated by her belief that the U.S. is unsafe for equal rights, has added fuel to the fire. While she admits to missing her family and life back home, she’s found warmth in Ireland’s welcoming culture. Meanwhile, Trump hasn’t missed a chance to mock her decision, even dragging Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin into the fray during a White House meeting with a quip about Ireland’s 'happiness' taking a hit.

As this personal battle continues to play out on a public stage, it’s clear neither side is backing down. O'Donnell urges Americans to stand up and resist what she sees as a betrayal of constitutional values, while Trump’s camp dismisses her as unhinged. One thing’s for sure: this feud is far from over.
