Donald Trump has threatened to revoke Rosie O’Donnell’s US citizenship.
The US president said he is considering “taking away” the actress and comedian’s citizenship, despite a Supreme Court ruling that prohibits a government from doing so.
The threat is the latest move in a long-running feud, with O’Donnell first critiquing Trump in an episode of The View in 2006, and Trump responding with a sustained launch of personal insults.
In the latest development, the president posted on Truth Social saying: “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.”
He also said O’Donnell was a “threat to humanity” and said she should “remain in the wonderful country of Ireland, if they want her”. She moved there earlier this year with her son after Trump won a second term.

She wrote in the caption: “You are everything that is wrong with America and I’m everything you hate about what’s still right with it.
“I’m not yours to silence. I never was.”
O’Donnell said she is in the process of getting an Irish citizenship based on family lineage and said she would only go back to the US “when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America”.
This is not the first time Trump has threatened to revoke the citizenship of someone he has got into a feud with, most recently with Elon Musk, who formerly acted as his senior advisor.
Trump made the threat after Musk criticised his “Big Beautiful Bill” which intends to take more aggressive actions on immigration and trade policy.

Musk, who was born in South Africa, became a US citizen in 2002.
Earlier this month, Trump took aim at Musk for the subsidies his companies have received, especially for electric vehicles.
The president said that without them, “Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa”.
When asked by a reporter whether he would consider deporting Musk Trump said: “I don’t know. We’ll have to take a look.”
Later that day, Trump called the citizenship status of New York City’s Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani into question, asserting: “A lot of people are saying he’s here illegally. We’re going to look at everything.”
Mamdani, who was born in Uganda, became a US citizen in 2018.
But the two situations are different from O’Donnell’s because she was born in the US and has a constitutional right to American citizenship.
The Supreme Court ruled in a 1967 case that the fourteenth amendment of the constitution prevents the government from taking away citizenship.
“The president has no authority to take away the citizenship of a native-born US citizen,” said Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia School of Law.
