President Trump publicly declared he’s “seriously considering” revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s American citizenship, calling her a “threat to humanity” and suggesting she should stay in Ireland. The actor and comedian, who relocated to Ireland with her child in January, has vocally criticized the administration’s response to recent floods and cuts to weather forecasting agencies.
Trump posted the warning on his social platform, asserting O’Donnell does not align with the “best interests of our Great Country.” His declaration arrives amid an extended feud that stretches back nearly two decades.Legal authorities emphasize that, under current U.S. law—including a 1967 Supreme Court ruling—the president lacks power to revoke citizenship from someone born in the country. O’Donnell, born in New York, holds this protected status by birth.In response, O’Donnell condemned Trump as a “disgrace” and said he opposes her voice precisely because she challenges his policies and character. She reaffirmed her decision to leave the U.S. was driven by political and personal concerns and said she would consider returning only when equal rights are restored.
