DONALD Trump has threatened to take away Rosie O’Donnell’s US citizenship, saying the comedian posed a “threat to humanity”.
In a scathing Truth Social post on Saturday, the US President lashed out at the Hollywood star and said he was giving “serious consideration” to revoking her citizenship.

The Don claimed that O’Donnell was “not in the best interests of our Great Country”.
He said: “She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
It comes after longtime Trump critic O’Donnell discussed her decades-long conflict with Trump and her 2024 move to Ireland before Trump’s inauguration in a HuffPost interview this month.
The 63-year-old said: “I look at America and I feel overwhelmingly depressed.
“I knew what [the Trump administration] was planning to do, because I read Project 2025.”
She added: “I know what he’s capable of. And I didn’t want to put myself through another four years of him being in charge.
“I picked up and left before the inauguration – because I wasn’t going to take any chances.”
She said that protecting her mental health and caring for her 12-year-old autistic son were part of the reasons for her leaving the US.
The long running feud between Trump and O’Donnell spans all the way back to 2006 – when she blasted the Don on The View over his handling of the Miss USA controversy.
She mocked his defence of then-titleholder Tara Conner.
The comedian branded Trump a “snake-oil salesman on Little House on the Prairie”, and credited his wealth to his father.
Trump hit back in a People interview – insisting his dad “never gave [him] tons of money”.
He also threatened to sue her, and said of the star: “Rosie will rue the words she said.
“Rosie’s a loser. A real loser.”
The two have traded jabs publicly since then on countless occasions.
In the recent HuffPost interview, O’Donnell said her decision to move was one of “self-preservation”.
She said: “I wasn’t up for this battle. The cost was too high.
“I still believe in the virtue of the fight – I just couldn’t do it personally.”
