For nearly two decades, Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been bitter adversaries, clashing publicly in a feud marked by insults and fiery exchanges. But now, their long-running rivalry has taken a darker turn.
Months after O’Donnell, 63, relocated to Ireland, former President Trump made a shocking statement — threatening to revoke her U.S. citizenship.
In an interview on the Irish radio show *Sunday with Miriam*, O’Donnell reflected on her turbulent history with Trump, stating:
> "He still uses me as a punching bag and a way to sort of rile his base. And I'm very proud to be opposed to every single thing he says and does and represents. I think he's a racist, he's misogynistic, he's sexist, and he is a danger to women and children all over the world."
Trump responded over the weekend on Truth Social, labeling O'Donnell a "threat to humanity" and claiming:
> "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. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
This raises a serious constitutional and legal question:
**Can a former president — or any president — legally threaten to strip a natural-born U.S. citizen of their citizenship simply because of political disagreements? And what does it say about the state of democracy when such threats are made publicly against critics?**
