Trump warns of potentially revoking comedian Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship.

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he is considering revoking comedian Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship, a dramatic escalation of Trump’s threats to use the executive branch to target his opponents. “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,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

He called O’Donnell a “threat to humanity” and stated that she should “remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland,” where she currently resides. O’Donnell moved to Ireland in January following Trump’s re-election.

There is no legal precedent for a president revoking the citizenship of a U.S.-born citizen, and such a move has no legal basis under current law. It’s not the first time that Trump has mentioned an opponent’s U.S. citizenship in a not-so-subtle threat. Trump earlier this month falsely questioned the citizenship of Zohran Mamdani, who won New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary.

Trump stated, “A lot of people are saying he’s here illegally,” regarding Mamdani. “We’re going to look at everything. Ideally, he’s going to turn out to be much less than a communist. But right now he’s a communist. That’s not a socialist.”

O’Donnell has been a vocal Trump critic, and the two have publicly feuded for years. Following Trump’s post on Truth Social, O’Donnell expressed her views on Instagram, saying, “The president of the USA has always hated the fact that I see him for who he is – a criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself – this is why I moved to Ireland.” She added that Trump aims to “deport all who stand against” his “evil tendencies.”
