Trump Considers Revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship, Reigniting Epic Feud

On July 12, 2025, President Donald J. Trump reignited his decades-long feud with comedian Rosie O’Donnell, announcing on Truth Social that he is “giving serious consideration” to revoking her U.S. citizenship.

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

The statement, posted shortly before 10 a.m., sparked a firestorm, with supporters and critics clashing online over Trump’s latest salvo against the outspoken actress, who moved to Ireland in January 2025, days before his second inauguration.

O’Donnell, a New York-born U.S. citizen, responded swiftly on Instagram, calling Trump a “criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself.”

She taunted him, writing, “You want to revoke my citizenship? Go ahead and try, king joffrey with a tangerine spray tan,” referencing the sadistic “Game of Thrones” character. O’Donnell, who has criticized Trump since 2006 when she called him a “snake-oil salesman” on The View, blamed his administration’s cuts to weather forecasting agencies for the 119 deaths in Texas’ July 4 floods in a recent TikTok post, prompting Trump’s ire.

She added, “I’m everything you fear: a loud woman, a queer woman, a mother who tells the truth,” vowing to stand against “all he represents.”

Legal experts, including Georgetown Law professor Steve Vladeck, dismissed Trump’s threat as “patently unconstitutional,” citing the 14th Amendment, which protects birthright citizenship for U.S.-born individuals like O’Donnell. A 1967 Supreme Court ruling further bars the government from stripping citizenship, with Vladeck noting that only voluntary relinquishment or fraud in naturalization cases allows denaturalization.

Amanda Frost of the University of Virginia Law School emphasized, “The government cannot choose the people,” underscoring the constitutional limits. Despite this, Trump’s rhetoric aligns with his administration’s push to prioritize denaturalization, as outlined in a June 11 DOJ memo by Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate, targeting naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes.

The feud, dating back to O’Donnell’s 2006 jab at Trump’s handling of a Miss USA controversy, has seen Trump call her “a real loser,” “crude,” and “a pig,” while O’Donnell has labeled him a “bully.” Trump referenced her during a 2015 GOP debate, quipping that his derogatory remarks about women applied “only” to her.

O’Donnell’s move to Ireland, motivated by Trump’s re-election and Project 2025, was announced in a March TikTok video, where she said she’d return “when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights.” On X, MAGA supporters cheered Trump’s post, while critics compared it to “dictator” tactics.

The controversy follows Trump’s similar threats against Elon Musk and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, signaling a broader strategy to target critics.

Trump’s bold move exposes O’Donnell’s anti-American rhetoric, protecting your values from woke celebrities who bash our nation from abroad. His fight against critics like her ensures America First policies prevail, keeping your country strong and free.

Trump’s calling out O’Donnell for what she is—a radical threat to our nation’s greatness. While the left cries about “rights,” he’s defending patriots from her toxic attacks. Stand with Trump to keep America safe from Hollywood elites in 2025!
