 Who is Rosie O’Donnell whose citizenship Trump has threatened to revoke?

Rosie O'Donnell became well-known as an actress and comedian after being born Roseann O'Donnell in Commack, New York, in 1962.

US President Donald Trump, in a recent post on Truth Social, threatened to revoke Rosie O'Donnell’s citizenship, calling her "a Threat to Humanity" who should “remain in Ireland”.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social account,"Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell 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.  Thank God for America! Legal experts immediately dismissed this: The 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship for U.S.-born people like O'Donnell (born in NY).  Jonathan Turley stated, "I know of no basis that could be used" for such action.

While Trump previously tried to limit birthright citizenship, courts ruled it unconstitutional, indicating that O'Donnell’s status is secure.

Who is Rosie O'Donnell?

Born Roseann O'Donnell in Commack, New York, in 1962, Rosie O'Donnell rose to fame as an actress and comedian. She won stand-up competitions on TV's Star Search in 1984 after using humor to cope with the death of her mother when she was ten years old. She frequently played the humorous best friend in popular 1990s movies like Sleepless in Seattle and A League of Their Own.

Her pleasant chats with celebrities like Tom Cruise and her generous crowd handouts earned her the nickname "Queen of Nice" during her tenure as host of the Emmy-winning Rosie O'Donnell Show from 1996 to 2002. After 9/11, she also donated $1 million and supported Broadway.
O'Donnell came out as gay in 2002 and became a fierce advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, same-sex adoption, and gun control . Her 2006-2007 stint on The View sparked fireworks, especially when she mocked Donald Trump’s "moral compass" over a Miss USA scandal.

Trump retaliated by calling her "a woman out of control," igniting a 19-year feud. During Trump’s presidency, O'Donnell blasted his policies on social media, blaming him for environmental failures like 2025’s deadly Texas floods.
