Overview

• President Trump used Truth Social to warn he was “giving serious consideration” to revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s U.S. citizenship, labeling her “a threat to humanity.”
• O’Donnell responded from Ireland with Instagram posts and a 10-minute TikTok video calling the threat “absurd” and vowing never to renounce her American citizenship.
• Ellen DeGeneres, who split with O’Donnell two decades ago, shared a screenshot of Trump’s post and O’Donnell’s reply on Instagram with the message “Good for you @rosie.”
• Legal experts agree that under the 14th Amendment the president lacks authority to strip birthright citizenship except through voluntary renunciation or conviction for treason.
• O’Donnell confirms she is pursuing Irish citizenship to hold dual nationality but insists she will always remain an American citizen.
