President Calls Rosie A Thre.at To Humanity

Trump is referring to the fact that O’Donnell recently moved to Ireland. She said it was after his second inauguration in 2025.

Rosie has said before that Trump “has it out for [her] and has for 20 years.” During an appearance on Irish TV in March 2025, she said it started when she “told the truth about him on a program called The View.”

Back in 2006, she criticized Trump during a Hot Topics segment on The View. It was about how he handled the underage drinking situation with Miss USA Tara Conner.

O’Donnell said: “He annoys me on a multitude of levels,” and called him “not a self-made man” and a “snake-oil salesman on Little House On The Prairie.

“[He] left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair, had kids both times, but he’s the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend. I don’t enjoy him.”

Trump responded in an interview at the time and said: “Rosie will rue the words she said. Rosie’s a loser. A real loser.

You can’t make false statements. Rosie will rue the words she said. I’ll most likely sue her for making those false statements – and it’ll be fun. Rosie’s a loser. A real loser. I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie.”

The feud didn’t die down after that. Trump kept coming after her on social media, including calling her a “loser” after her engagement in 2011. He tweeted: “I feel sorry for Rosie‘s new partner in love whose parents are devastated at the thought of their daughter being with @Rosie, a true loser.”

In the 2015 GOP debate, he was asked about calling women names like “fat pigs” and “slobs.” He answered, “Only Rosie O’Donnell.”

Rosie has said that the harassment from Trump took a serious toll on her. She told an interviewer: “Probably the Trump stuff was the most bullying I ever experienced in my life, including as a child. It was national, and it was sanctioned societally.”

Even after she left the country, Trump still made comments. When someone joked about Ireland letting her in, Trump said: “Do you know who she is? You’re better off not knowing.”

Looking back on the whole thing, Rosie said: “He’s been doing it for two decades and I’m still not used to it every time he does.”
