Everything we know about Rosie O’Donnell and Trump’s ongoing feud amid threat to revoke her citizenship
The decades-long feud between Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell has escalated after the president threatened to revoke her U.S. citizenship. The comedian, currently living in Ireland, fired back with a photo linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein.
Their conflict began in 2006 when O’Donnell criticized Trump’s personal life on *The View*, calling him unfit as a “moral compass.” Trump retaliated by labeling her “a woman out of control,” setting the tone for years of public sparring.
The feud reignited when Trump recently posted on Truth Social, threatening to strip O’Donnell’s citizenship, calling her a “Threat to Humanity” who should stay in Ireland. Legal experts quickly dismissed this as unconstitutional.
University of Virginia law professor Amanda Frost clarified that the Fourteenth Amendment protects native-born citizens like O’Donnell. “The president has no authority” to remove citizenship, she stated, emphasizing foundational democratic principles.
O’Donnell responded defiantly on Instagram, sharing a photo of Trump with Epstein alongside a caption: “You are everything that’s wrong with America… I’m not yours to silence.” The post capitalized on ongoing Epstein-related scrutiny surrounding Trump.
Trump has repeatedly denied any association with Epstein, distancing himself from the convicted sex offender. Meanwhile, O’Donnell continues to leverage her platform to criticize the president from abroad.
Their bitter rivalry shows no signs of ending, blending personal animosity with political controversy. While Trump’s threat holds no legal weight, it underscores the combative nature of his presidency—and O’Donnell’s refusal to back down.
