US President Donald Trump vented his anger at his long-time critic Rosie O'Donnell by labeling her a "threat to humanity" and warning that he will withdraw her US citizenship.
In a blistering social media post, Trump, 79, 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 President further added that the comedian may remain in Ireland if the country desires her.
“She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” he concluded.
Trump's tirade followed Rosie O'Donnell's July 7 HuffPost interview, where she discussed her decades' struggle with the former president and her 2024 move to Ireland before Trump's reelection.
O'Donnell, 63, stated, “I look at America and I feel overwhelmingly depressed,” referring to her desire to take care of her autistic 12-year-old son and safeguard her mental health.
“I knew what [the Trump administration] was planning to do, because I read Project 2025. I know what he's capable of. And I didn't want to put myself through another four years of him being in charge.”
She said she left before Trump's inauguration because “I wasn't going to take any chances.”
In reaction to Trump's Saturday post, O'Donnell described as a “criminal,” “con man,” and “sexual abusing liar.”
“I stand in direct opposition [of] all he represents,” she wrote on Instagram. “So do millions of others.”
Trump administration has tried to rescind the green cards of foreign-born activists who have been critical of the country's foreign policy decisions, particularly in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war. The government maintains that it is following the law and that these individuals are a threat to the country.
