President Donald Trump has threatened to revoke the citizenship of lesbian comedian Rosie ODonnell, even though he does not have the power to revoke citizenship, and ODonnell was born in the United States. She called his threat a distraction from recent revelations about his friendship with the now-deceased child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie ODonnells Citizenship, Trump wrote yesterday on his @realDonaldTrump account on X. She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so! His message included an image of ODonnells head, distorted to make it seem unnaturally large and grotesque.

Roy is the fictional patriarch and main antagonist of the HBO drama series Succession, a successful businessman and emotionally manipulative father who makes his adult children compete for his approval.Im the distraction, ODonnell continued. EPSTEIN SURVIVORS are the reckoning and your gold lam throne is melting.Her comment likely referred to a press conference held on the Capitol steps yesterday morning in which several of Epsteins female victims tearfully asked the president to help release documents that could reveal high-profile individuals complicit with Epsteins rape of underage girls. Some of the victims also noted Trumps past friendship with Epstein (though he has publicly denied any wrongdoing or close association despite photos, evidence, and his past comments that have substantiated the mens past connection).

Nevertheless, when asked about the press conference, Trump insisted the public uproar was a Democrat hoax that sought to pull attention away from his administrations successes, ABC News reported. Despite his claim, Republicans like Rep. Thomas Massie (KY) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) also attended the conference and have pushed for greater transparency from the administration and their fellow legislators.

He made a similar threat in July, writing, Because of the fact that Rosie ODonnell 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!In response, ODonnell addressed the president directly, writing, 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours. You call me a threat to humanity but Im everything you fear: a loud woman, a queer woman, a mother who tells the truth, an American who got out when the country caught fire. Trump and ODonnells public feud began back in 2006, when ODonnell, who was a co-host on the daytime womens news talk showThe View, criticized Trumps moral compass. In response, he referred to ODonnell as a woman out of control.Then, in 2015, Megyn Kelly, the Fox News host who co-moderated the 2015 Republican primary debate, asked about his referring to women as fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.Trumpsaid that he only spoke that way about ODonnell.In August, ODonnell said thatTrump and his dictatorship might try to cancel the all-female daytime talk showThe Viewbecause of its co-hosts criticisms against him. (She once co-hosted the show.)
