On Saturday, President Donald Trump rekindled his long-running conflict with comedian Rosie O'Donnell by stating on his Truth Social platform that he was thinking of removing her citizenship.
Trump wrote, "I am seriously considering removing Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship because she is not in the best interests of our great country." "If they want her, she should stay in the beautiful nation of Ireland because she poses a threat to humanity." "God bless America!"

According to Steve Vladeck, a Georgetown Law professor and CNN Supreme Court analyst, Trump's threat of "coercive expatriation" was "patently unconstitutional" on Saturday.
"Denaturalization and expatriation of U.S. citizens are challenging for valid reasons," Vladeck wrote in April. "The Supreme Court has recognized meaningful constitutional limits (and an entitlement to meaningful judicial review) even in those cases, and Congress has only provided for a few circumstances in which the executive branch is empowered to pursue such a move."
O'Donnell garnered attention last weekend after she uploaded a video to TikTok criticizing the Trump administration's response to the floods in Texas, saying the president "gutted all of the early warning systems and the weather-forecast abilities of the government," stymieing the federal response. CNN has contacted the White House regarding the reasons behind the president's threat.
After reading Project 2025, she informed CNN's Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown that she and her nonbinary child should leave the country if Trump was elected. "I don't regret anything. I have never once felt that it was the wrong choice. I received a warm welcome.
O'Donnell replied on Instagram to the president's post on Saturday, saying, "You want to revoke my citizenship? Try getting a tangerine spray tan, King Joffrey. You can't silence me. I wasn't.
The comedian went one step further on Sunday, calling Trump "a danger to the world" on Ireland's RTÉ Radio 1. That's the bottom line, after all.
"I'm proud to be against everything he says, does, and believes. "I think he is a sexist, a racist, and a misogynistic individual," O'Donnell said.
When asked about Trump's threat to revoke her citizenship, O'Donnell responded, "I know he can't do that, but the Supreme Court has given him unbridled powers, and who knows what he can and can't do."
"He is treating immigrants in the United States in this way without following the proper procedures, but he shouldn't be allowed to do so," she said. "America is not this. Democracy isn't what this is.
Since at least 2006, Trump and O'Donnell have been at odds. O'Donnell, who was co-hosting "The View" at the time, called Trump a "snake-oil salesman on Little House on the Prairie" and claimed he went bankrupt, claims that Trump denied.
Over the years, Trump has referred to O'Donnell as "a real loser," "crude, rude, obnoxious, and dumb," and "a pig."
