Rosie O'Donnell responds to Trump's threats with direct language and a picture - Trump's threats met with a firm response from Rosie O'Donnell, who retaliated with strong words and a related picture.
Renowned comedian and talk show host Rosie O'Donnell has moved to Ireland this year, citing the political climate in the US as her reason. The decision comes amidst an ongoing feud with former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has publicly expressed consideration of revoking O'Donnell's citizenship due to political disagreements. However, legal experts stress that such action is beyond the President's authority.
Born in the U.S., O'Donnell, aged 63, has been a vocal critic of Trump, expressing her disapproval of his administration on social media platforms like TikTok. In a recent post, she mourned the victims of the Texas floods and criticized Trump's cuts to environmental and scientific agencies.
The U.S. President does not have the power to revoke the citizenship of a native-born American citizen, such as O'Donnell. This principle is supported by a decades-old Supreme Court ruling that expressly prohibits the government from stripping citizenship involuntarily from someone born in the United States[1][3]. Citizenship can only be relinquished voluntarily and with intent by the individual.
In contrast, naturalized citizens may face denaturalization proceedings for serious crimes or threats to national security. However, these actions are carried out through civil proceedings and require legal evidence and due process. The burden of proof and legal safeguards exist in such cases.
In the case of O'Donnell, any unilateral presidential attempt to revoke her citizenship would be legally invalid and unconstitutional, likely triggering immediate legal challenges[1][3]. The President’s authority to revoke citizenship is highly limited and bound by strict legal standards protecting individuals’ rights.
Despite the legal constraints, the feud between O'Donnell and Trump has continued. Trump has called O'Donnell a "threat to humanity" on his Truth Social platform, while O'Donnell has criticized Trump, calling him "everything that's wrong with America" and stating that he has no right to silence her. In response, O'Donnell posted a photo of Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, captioning it as a comment on Trump's insecurity.
O'Donnell is known for her 90s talk show "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," and her feud with Trump has been a long-standing one, dating back to a 2006 feud that started their ongoing rivalry. As O'Donnell considers applying for Irish citizenship due to her Irish ancestry, it remains clear that the issue of her U.S. citizenship remains a contentious one.
Jeffrey Epstein's name has surfaced in the ongoing feud between Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump, as O'Donnell posted a photo of them together on her social media, making a comment about Trump's insecurity. Meanwhile, the entertainment world and pop-culture enthusiasts continue to closely monitor the conflicts between celebrities like O'Donnell and the former U.S. President, which often touch upon political and social issues.
