US President Donald Trump lashed out at Rosie O’Donnell, labelling her a “threat to humanity” and threatening to consider stripping her of her US citizenship. 

In a social media post, Trump said, “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.”

The US President essentially told Rosie O’Donnell to stay in Ireland if they want her, after threatening to revoke her citizenship.

“She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” he concluded.

O’Donnell moved to Ireland in January 2025, saying she’d return only when America is “safe for all citizens to have equal rights”. The comedian has criticised Trump for years, recently blaming his cuts to the National Weather Service for Texas flood deaths.

The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees citizenship to anyone born on American soil, which is why Rosie O’Donnell, born in New York in 1962, is a US citizen.

Trump and O’Donnell’s bitter feud spans nearly two decades, igniting in 2006 when O’Donnell criticised Trump’s handling of the Miss USA pageant on The View. The tension escalated in 2015 when Trump responded to a question about calling women derogatory names by saying, “Only Rosie O’Donnell”. 

Though Trump signed an order to end birthright citizenship, courts blocked it as unconstitutional.

According to legal experts, citizenship can only be stripped from naturalised immigrants who lied to get it, not native-born Americans. O’Donnell is applying for Irish citizenship but remains a US citizen.
