Overview

• In a Wednesday Truth Social post, President Trump said he is giving “serious thought” to taking away O’Donnell’s citizenship and paired the message with a digitally altered image of her.
• Constitutional protections under the 14th Amendment and Supreme Court precedent make involuntary loss of birthright citizenship unlawful absent voluntary renunciation or narrowly defined circumstances.
• O’Donnell, now living in Ireland and pursuing Irish citizenship, responded on Instagram and Substack, calling herself a proud American who will not renounce her citizenship and accusing Trump of distraction tactics.
• The exchange follows a similar threat Trump issued in July and extends a feud dating back nearly two decades.
• The latest posts unfolded as Epstein survivors and lawmakers pressed for more records to be released, which Trump dismissed as a “Democrat hoax,” according to multiple reports.
