Trump-Rosie O'Donnell rivalry persists, marked by mutual antagonism
## Title: Trump's Citizenship Threat Against Rosie O'Donnell Sparks International Response
In a recent development, President Donald Trump has reignited his long-standing feud with comedian and actor Rosie O'Donnell by suggesting he might revoke her U.S. citizenship. This latest escalation occurred on his Truth Social platform, where Trump reportedly wrote, "Rosie O'Donnell is a threat to humanity. Bye. I'm going to take away her American citizenship."
Rosie O'Donnell, who currently resides in Dublin, Ireland, addressed the incident during a stand-up comedy set at Dublin's International Comedy Club. She mocked the implausibility of Trump's threat, citing U.S. law that states citizenship cannot be revoked by presidential fiat if someone is born in the United States to American parents. O'Donnell also branded Trump "the Tangerine Mussolini" in media comments, indicating she was "not fazed" by the threat.
Trump's comments appear to be another volley in their ongoing public spat, rather than a legally actionable proposal. The U.S. Supreme Court has never granted a president the authority to unilaterally revoke the citizenship of a native-born American, and constitutional experts universally agree such an act would be unconstitutional.
O'Donnell's remarks in Ireland underscored both her dismissive attitude toward the threat and the international attention the feud continues to attract. The feud has also attracted support from fellow celebrities, such as Ellen DeGeneres, who wrote an Instagram message in support of O'Donnell.
This episode is the latest in a series of public exchanges between O'Donnell and Trump, reflecting the enduring polarization their feud represents in American political and celebrity culture. It remains to be seen how this latest incident will impact their ongoing relationship.
