Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she missed her daughter’s college graduation because of her ongoing fight with President Donald Trump. While on the No Filter Podcast, she opened up about her nearly 20-year feud with the president. “My daughter graduated from college, and I didn’t go back because the security people said to me they didn’t think it was wise,” O’Donnell said. She later said she believes that Trump will use her as a pawn to “rile his base.” Her presumption is corroborated by Trump’s previous threats. He wrote on his Truth Social platform, “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.” Though Trump can not revoke O’Donnell’s citizenship, his animosity toward the comedian has made her an enemy of Trump supporters. When Trump was asked why he has used language such as“fat pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs” and “disgusting animals” to describe women; he responded “Only Rosie O’Donnell.” She made the decision to move to Ireland in Jan. 2025 to escape Trump. She claimed she moved after Trump’s reelection, because his first term was detrimental to her mental health.
