00:06Rosie O'Donnell is just one of several A-list celebrities who have moved from the U.S. to Europe

00:12since Donald Trump began his second term in the White House.

00:16Their feud famously dates back to 2006, when she first criticized him on The View.

00:21The 63-year-old comedian slammed Trump in Australia's The Daily Telegraph, saying,

00:28What's coming is fascism in the United States, pure and simple.

00:32Christian white nationalism, and that's not democracy, she continued, adding.

00:38I feel that if we let them continue on, we are doomed as a democracy.

00:42She added,

00:44When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America,

00:48that's when we will consider coming back.

00:51O'Donnell is living in Ireland with her 12-year-old daughter Dakota since January 2025.

00:56Never, for one moment since I arrived here, did I regret my choice, she confirmed.

01:03She has applied for Irish citizenship, saying,

01:06I am applying and about to be approved for my Irish citizenship,

01:10as my grandparents were from there, and that's all you need.

01:13She added,

01:14It will be good to have my Irish citizenship, especially since Trump keeps threatening to

01:18take away mine.

01:20Trump wrote on Truth Social,

01:22Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our great country,

01:27I am giving serious consideration to taking away her citizenship.

01:31She is a threat to humanity, and should remain in the wonderful country of Ireland.

01:37O'Donnell responded on Instagram,

01:38Hey Donald, you're rattled again?

01:4118 years later, and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours.

01:46She continued,

01:47I'm everything you fear.

01:49A loud woman, a queer woman, a mother who tells the truth,

01:52an American who got out of the country before you set it ablaze.
