Rosie O’Donnell Clap back After Donald Trump Threatens to Revoke Her Citizenship: ‘He’s the Worst President in U.S. History, Undeserving of His Superman Poster, No Empathy, Taylor Swift Has Shown More Patriotism and Humanity Towards American Than He Ever Has’

Rosie O’Donnell Hits Back After Trump Suggests Revoking Her Citizenship: “He’s the Worst President in U.S. History — Take Down That Superman Poster!”

In yet another surreal turn in the never-ending feud between former President Donald Trump and longtime critic Rosie O’Donnell, tensions reached a new high this week when Trump suggested during a campaign event in Ohio that he is “considering measures” to revoke the citizenship of individuals who he believes “aren’t in the best interest of the country.”

When asked to clarify if he was referring to specific individuals, Trump didn’t hesitate to name Rosie O’Donnell.

“She’s been a problem for years,” Trump said to a cheering crowd. “Hateful, un-American, and always tearing down this country. People like her… we may have to start looking into their status. Is she even good for America? I don’t think so.”

The comment immediately sparked outrage across social media, but none louder — or sharper — than Rosie herself, who responded with a blistering statement posted to her X account (formerly Twitter) just hours later.

“Donald Trump is the worst president in American history,” O’Donnell wrote. “He should have his ridiculous Superman poster taken down because he doesn’t embody strength, justice, or truth. He embodies division, cruelty, and ego.”

“This man has no empathy and no compassion. Meanwhile, artists like Taylor Swift are stepping up to help real Americans in crisis — donating millions to flood victims in Texas and New Mexico, visiting with families, showing leadership and heart. Trump hasn’t lifted a finger for the people suffering. He cares more about his own image than the citizens he once swore to serve.”

O’Donnell’s fiery response quickly went viral, with hashtags like #RosieVsTrump and #SupermanGate trending within hours. Supporters rallied behind the comedian and actress, hailing her as a “true patriot” for standing her ground and calling out Trump’s increasingly authoritarian rhetoric.

Political analysts were quick to denounce Trump’s remarks, calling the idea of revoking someone’s citizenship over political disagreements both unconstitutional and deeply alarming.

“This isn’t just outrageous — it’s dangerous,” said Dr. Marla Torres, a constitutional law expert at Georgetown University. “No president or candidate has the legal authority to strip citizenship based on dissent or criticism. This is straight out of an authoritarian playbook.”

O’Donnell, who has been a vocal Trump critic since his early days in politics, has never shied away from speaking her mind. But this latest exchange underscores the dramatic contrast between the former president’s divisive behavior and the compassion shown by figures like Taylor Swift — whom Rosie praised in her statement.

“Taylor Swift has done more for the people of this country in one month than Trump has done in his entire political career,” Rosie added in a follow-up post. “That’s what leadership looks like. That’s what empathy looks like. That’s what America deserves.”

As Trump continues his bid for re-election in 2028, this latest feud is yet another flashpoint in his turbulent relationship with critics and celebrities who challenge his narrative. For Rosie O’Donnell, it’s just another day standing her ground.

And for millions watching, it’s a reminder that patriotism isn’t about blind loyalty — it’s about compassion, courage, and calling out injustice when it matters most.
