Trump’s Latest Tantrum: Threatens to Yank Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship—Is Mercury Retrograde or Just Monday Madness?

Added on July 13, 2025 inCelebrity News Cards

So, President Trump just threw another cosmic curveball, seriously mulling over stripping Rosie O’Donnell of her U.S. citizenship—yes, despite it being illegal and totally against the Constitution. On a Saturday under a rather moody Moon in Capricorn, the 79-year-old commander-in-chief labeled Rosie a “threat to humanity” on Truth Social, stirring the pot like a full-on Leo drama queen. Meanwhile, Rosie’s chilling in Ireland, where she’s working on Irish citizenship while keeping her sharp tongue aimed squarely at Trump. This celestial showdown between a fiery Aries spirit and a stubborn Capricorn headline-maker begs the question: when planetary energies clash this hard, who really wins the citizenship war of words? Dive into the chaos and decide for yourself. LEARN MORE.

President Donald Trump said he is ‘seriously considering’ revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s US citizenship – even though that would be both illegal and unconstitutional.

The commander-in-chief, 79, described the comedian and TV host as a ‘threat to humanity’ in a scathing post on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Saturday (12 July).

“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!”

As he mentioned, O’Donnell is living in Ireland, and she moved there at the beginning of this year after Trump returned to the White House.

In a TikTok video shared back in March, the former The View host – who was born and raised in New York – explained she was ‘in the process’ of securing Irish citizenship, as her grandparents hail from there.

“I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child,” she told her 2.6 million followers. “And here we are.

“You know, I’m happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home and I’m trying to find a home here in this beautiful country and when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back.”

She then added: “It’s been heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know.”

O’Donnell has had some run-ins with Trump before, as the pair have traded plenty of verbal blows throughout the years over their differences in opinion.

Although she no longer lives in the US, the comedy star, 63, has continued to be an open critic of the President’s policies, hence why he’s waged war on her and threatened to revoke her citizenship.

However, this is completely illegal and would breach the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which explains: “All persons born or naturalised in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.”

Steve Vladeck, a legal scholar and professor at Georgetown Law, described Trump’s threat as ‘coercive expatriation’ and said it was ‘patently unconstitutional’, as per CNN.

Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, echoed his sentiment, telling Sky News: “The president has no authority to take away the citizenship of a native-born US citizen.

“In short, we are nation founded on the principle that the people choose the government; the government cannot choose the people.”

Despite the gravity of the situation, O’Donnell didn’t seem to phased – and hit back at the president with a series of fiery social media posts.

Sharing a photo of Trump and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein to Instagram last night, she wrote: “Hey Donald – you’re rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours.

“You call me a threat to humanity – but I’m everything you fear: a loud woman, a queer woman, a mother who tells the truth, an American who got out of the country b4 u set it ablaze.

“You build walls – I build a life for my autistic kid in a country where decency still exists. You crave loyalty – I teach my children to question power. You sell fear on golf courses – I make art about surviving trauma.

“You lie, you steal, you degrade – I nurture, I create, I persist. You are everything that is wrong with America – and I’m everything you hate about what’s still right with it.

“You want to revoke my citizenship? go ahead and try, king joffrey with a tangerine spray tan. I’m not yours to silence, I never was.”

O’Donnell also branded him a ‘danger to the nation’, a ‘truly evil man’ and a ‘mentally ill untreated criminal who lied to America for a decade on The Apprentice‘ in a TikTok post.

Earlier this month, Trump floated the idea of deporting his former pal Elon Musk, who was born in South Africa, in wake of their epic fallout.
