« The time is up and he knows it, » O’Donnell said. « He’s like a cornered rat and he doesn’t know where to go or what to do. »
Comedian and actress Rosie O’Donnell responded to President Donald Trump’s threats to take away her U.S. citizenship by calling him a « cornered rat » who cannot escape the allegations of being named in the Jeffrey Epstein files.Why It Matters
In a post to Truth Social on Wednesday, Trump wrote: « We are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship », adding that she is « not a Great American. » The post echoed previous remarks from Trump, who in July wrote on social media that he was giving « serious consideration » to revoking her citizenship, saying that she was « not in the best interests of our great country. »
Trump also mentioned her by name to Irish prime minister, Micheál Martin, when he visited the Oval Office in March.
Trump and O’Donnell have been involved in a feud for nearly two decades, which began in 2006 when the former co-host of The View questioned Trump’s moral character during his tenure as owner of the Miss USA pageant. Trump fired back almost a decade later, invoking her name during a 2015 presidential debate when asked why he calls women he dislikes « fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals », drawing applause and laughter from the debate crowd.
