Rosie O’Donnell responds to Donald Trump’s renewed threats to strip her of US citizenship

Rosie O’Donnell has come out swinging on social media after US President Donald Trump again threatened to strip her US citizenship.

Trump took to his own social platform, Truth Social, slamming the comedian with a post later shared on the official White House accounts as well.

“As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship,” Trump wrote alongside a digitally altered image of the TV personality.

“She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!”

Trump cannot legally revoke US citizenship from someone born in America, they would have to renounce it themselves.

The 63-year-old comedian was born in New York state. While O’Donnell hasn’t renounced her rights, she has picked up and moved to Ireland for the duration of Trump’s second presidency.

“Banishing me again?” O’Donnell wrote on social media under a screenshot of the White House’s post.

“Logan Roy would be proud,” she added, referencing the head of the family and business in TV series Succession.

“I’m the distraction – EPSTEIN SURVIVORS are the reckoning and your gold lamé throne is melting.”

Trump’s renewed threats come after O’Donnell shared a number of posts from Epstein survivors on her Instagram Story as well as sharing anti-Trump content over the past 24 hours.

The comedian, who has a string of shows in Australia next month, sat down with Karl Stefanovic for an interview with 60 Minutes, airing this week.

In the teaser for the episode, released online yesterday, O’Donnell addresses the issue.

O’Donnell laughs heartily when Stefanovic asks tongue in cheek about her new life in Ireland.

“How is life in exile, you troublemaker?” the Today show host says.

At another point in the interview, the comedian jokes about being triggered by “red hats”, referring to Trump’s Make America Great Again look.

How one wedding dress divided an entire family

O’Donnell and Trump have been trading barbs in public for decades now, before the US president was even involved in politics.

It all started after the comedian criticised the then-businessman on a 2006 episode of TV show The View, which she co-hosted at the time.
