Trump vs Rosie O’Donnell: A Feud That’s Now a Constitutional Firestorm
So, have you seen what Donald Trump said about Rosie O'Donnell recently? It’s hard to believe, but he’s actually threatened to revoke her U.S. citizenship. That’s right—he literally posted on Truth Social that he's giving “serious consideration” to taking away Rosie’s American citizenship because, in his words, she’s “not in the best interests of our Great Country.” He even went as far as calling her a “threat to humanity” and suggested she just stay in Ireland, where she recently moved with her son after Trump’s second term win.
Now, let’s be clear—Rosie O’Donnell is a U.S.-born citizen. That means under the Constitution, particularly the 14th Amendment, her citizenship is protected. It can’t be stripped by presidential fiat. Legal experts have weighed in quickly—law professors and constitutional scholars have called Trump’s threat not just unlawful, but blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court decided way back in 1967 that the government can’t revoke the citizenship of native-born Americans. In other words, this isn’t just drama—it’s legally impossible.

Rosie, of course, didn’t stay quiet. She hit back on Instagram, posting a photo of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein and writing: “You are everything that is wrong with America and I'm everything you hate about what's still right with it.” Oof. That’s vintage Rosie—sharp, bold, and not pulling any punches.
Their feud isn’t new. This has been going on since at least 2006, when Rosie criticized Trump during her time on The View , calling him a "snake-oil salesman." He retaliated with years of cruel insults, name-calling her “a pig,” “a loser,” and other grossly personal jabs. But this latest attack has crossed into more serious territory—it’s not just an insult. It’s a threat against a fundamental right.
And what triggered this latest meltdown from Trump? Apparently, it was a TikTok video Rosie posted slamming the administration’s disaster response to the deadly Texas floods. She blamed the catastrophic failure on Trump gutting federal environmental and forecasting agencies. Honestly, she’s not alone in that criticism. The floods were devastating—over 100 people died—and many are saying the government could’ve done more.
Rosie says she won’t return to the U.S. until it’s “safe for all citizens to have equal rights.” She’s applying for Irish citizenship based on family roots and seems perfectly content to live overseas while standing firmly in her values. Meanwhile, Trump has also hinted at targeting others he disagrees with—like Elon Musk and even a political opponent in New York—suggesting this might be more than just a personal vendetta. It could be a pattern of authoritarian behavior.
Look, love her or not, Rosie O’Donnell is exercising her voice as an American. And in a democracy, that’s supposed to be protected. No president has the authority to silence someone with citizenship threats. This isn’t just about Trump and Rosie anymore—it’s about what kind of country we want to live in, and whether our leaders are held to the Constitution, or just their egos.
