Trump Sparks Outrage with Threat to Strip Rosie O'Donnell’s Citizenship

In a fiery post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump reignited his long-standing feud with comedian Rosie O’Donnell by threatening to revoke her U.S. citizenship—a move that legal experts say is not within his constitutional authority.

Trump declared that O’Donnell is “not in the best interests of our Great Country” and labeled her a “Threat to Humanity,” suggesting she should remain in Ireland, where she recently relocated with her son. The post drew swift backlash, with critics pointing to the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the United States.

O’Donnell, born in New York, responded with a scathing Instagram post, calling Trump a “criminal con man” and asserting, “You want to revoke my citizenship? Go ahead and try… I’m not yours to silence. I never was”.

Legal scholars emphasized that the president has no authority to unilaterally revoke citizenship from native-born Americans. Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia, noted, “The government cannot choose the people”.

The exchange adds another chapter to the decades-long public clash between Trump and O’Donnell, which began in 2006 and has escalated through social media and political commentary.
