O’Donnell, 64, who guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week for her talk-show return, shared a snapshot of the US president, 80, with his hair styled sleek back. His white, short-sleeved shirt tucked under blue tailored pants, and secured with a black belt.

In a statement shared with PEOPLE on Thursday, Aug. 20, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle called O’Donnell a “nasty woman and a total slob whose brain has been completely destroyed by Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

The White House’s comments about the comedian came after her monologue on Kimmel’s show, and it was when she called Trump “President Petty Roosevelt.” O’Donnell also encouraged him to “hang up your wig” and let White House aide Natalie Harp “tuck you in.”

During the week-long appearance on Kimmel, O’Donnell waved to Trump as she referred to him as “Mango Mussolini,” then called him “Oompa J. Loompa.” The actress eventually serenaded the president with a parody of a century-old Irish folk song.

“Poor Donnie boy, your polls, your polls are falling,” O’Donnell sang, referring to Trump’s declining popularity in public polls and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. “Your reflecting pool is green as Mountain Dew. Your wig’s a mess, your ballroom is appalling.”

“The Flintstones” star’s hosting duties concluded on Thursday, Aug. 20, as Kimmel continues his summer break. O’Donnell followed other guest hosts, such as Anthony Anderson, Colman Domingo, Tiffany Haddish, and Ike Barinholtz.

O’Donnell’s feud with Trump has spanned around two decades. After an episode of The View in 2006, the comedian and the president began butting heads. During a Hot Topics segment, O’Donnell, who hosted the show at the time, criticized Trump for acting as a “moral authority,” following Tara Conner’s win of the Miss USA title, despite allegations of underage drinking and cocaine use.

“He annoys me on a multitude of levels,” she said. “[He] left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair, had kids both times, but he’s the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America.”

O’Donnell continued, “Donald, sit and spin, my friend. I don’t enjoy him.”

After O’Donnell’s comments, Trump responded by calling her “a woman out of control,” during an interview with PEOPLE. Since then, their feud has only escalated, with the president calling out the comedian several times on social media.
