From Deadline: Donald Trump posted on Saturday that he is giving “serious consideration” to revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship.
The president posted on Truth Social, “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. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
The president cannot revoke the citizenship of someone born in the U.S., something that legal scholars have long noted. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution says, “All persons born or naturalized 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.”
O’Donnell responded on TikTok, saying Trump “is a disgrace to all our beautiful country stands for – he is a danger to the nation.”
She went on to call Trump “a mentally ill untreated criminal who lied to america for a decade on the apprentice – thanks mark burnett – and u fell for it – its so tragic – had u grown up in Ny – as i did and he did – u too would know what a total fool he is – add me to the list of people who oppose him at every turn.”
Her oddly punctuated post continued: “[I]ts now or never america 🇺🇸 – my little posts from dublin upset him – go arrest a few brown people u truly evil man child.”
Deadline notes that O’Donnell, a New Yorker who has been a longtime Trump critic, relocated her family to Ireland earlier this year.
She has previously stated that she won’t return to the United States until it is safe for all citizens to enjoy equal rights.
O’Donnell criticized Trump’s decisions earlier this week, stating that they have put the country in danger. She specifically pointed to the cuts to the National Weather Service and the deaths in the recent flash floods in Texas, warning that these are the consequences they will face daily.
