Rosie O'Donnell has responded to President Donald Trump's renewed threat to strip her of US citizenship, referencing the Epstein scandal. Trump posted a distorted photo of O'Donnell on Truth Social, writing: 'We are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O'Donnell’s Citizenship. She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!'
O'Donnell, who moved to Ireland in January with her youngest child, replied on Instagram: 'Banishing me again? Logan Roy would be proud,' alluding to the Succession character. She added: 'EPSTEIN SURVIVORS are the reckoning and your gold lamé throne is melting.' The actor also shared a photo of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein, calling him 'King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan.'
Trump has no legal power to revoke citizenship, but has sought to end birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to all born or naturalised in the US. O'Donnell's feud with Trump dates back to 2006 when she hosted The View.
O'Donnell previously said living in Trump's America would be 'taxing emotionally' and thanked the Irish for their welcome. Trump has repeatedly claimed the Epstein case is a 'Democrat hoax,' angering survivors.
