Trump Hits Rosie O’Donnell With Brutal Citizenship Update
A tardy apology from comedian Rosie O’Donnell may not save her from a brutal punishment by President Donald Trump.
The liberal comedian took heat from the White House for initially claiming that Robin Westman, the 23-year-old trans shooter in last week’s deadly rampage through a Minnesota Catholic church, was a Trump supporter. She walked back her online remarks several days later, but the damage had already been done.
In his own salvo, President Trump mused about finally fulfilling a promise to revoke Rosie’s citizenship. She permanently moved to Ireland in January.
Trump did not indicate on what grounds he may terminate her citizenship. However, he did express “serious” concerns about her latest statements.
“As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship,” he wrote Wednesday evening.

He added: “She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!”
It’s the second time that Trump has taken direct aim at O’Donnell this year. In July, he asked his followers on Truth Social how “great” an American they think the former daytime TV star is.
“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,” Trump wrote at the time. “She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
The long-running feud between O’Donnell and Trump stretches back to the early aughts, when she first targeted Trump for his behavior during a Miss America pageant. Trump quickly responded in kind, and the rest is history.
Before Trump returned to the White House, O’Donnell announced in January that she would be leaving the U.S. for good after she and her daughter lost their home in the Malibu fires.
She is currently in the process of seeking Irish citizenship, but she did not renounce her U.S. citizenship at the time, the Western Journal noted.
Under the 14th Amendment, Americans are largely protected from denaturalization for all but the most serious offenses, including treason and terrorism. However, Trump’s message may keep O’Donnell thinking about the possibility that he will do whatever it takes to ensure she never gets the chance to return after he leaves office.
A recent interview revealed just how distraught O’Donnell became after learning that her longtime nemesis was reelected president.
“During his first go-around, it was very difficult, and I got myself into some bad places,” she told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo.
“You know, I was very, very depressed. I was overeating. I was overdrinking… I was so depressed,” she explained.
