The rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner went off without a hitch on Friday, July 24th, at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C. And while Donald Trumpended his hour-plus speech by saying he has “tremendous respect for the people in this room,” it looks like he doesn’t have the same level of admiration for actress Rosie O’Donnell.
Quick quips and jabs at journalists are all part of this annual event. But this year, the President took aim at one of his long-time Hollywood foes. Even though Trump went after Rosie, attempting to roast the comedian, most of his ‘jokes’ missed the mark.
Case in point, it doesn’t seem like the President knows where O’Donnell is right now! Trump started his Rosie rant with, “Even Rosie O’Donnell reached out from Ireland. She really wanted to be here in order to honor me. She loves me very much. She was desperate to come back to the United States and pay her respects to Donald J. Trump.”
He continued, “But that didn’t work out, unfortunately, because nobody wanted her to come back.”
The President added, mocking O’Donnell’s age, “But she’s one of the greatest sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome. She’s a sick young woman. Sick older woman, I guess now I have to say.”

O’Donnell, who did move to Ireland in a somewhat unsuccessful bid to distance herself from Trump, is very much already back in the U.S.
Her recent media blitz for her autobiographical one-woman show ‘Common Knowledge’ (now on Broadway) has put the former daytime host in the spotlight repeatedly.
O’Donnell appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers earlier in the week and is scheduled to guest-host Jimmy Kimmel Live! from August 17 through August 20.
Even though her Broadway engagement and guest-hosting duties will end in August, O’Donnell reportedly said that she could stay in the United States. During an appearance on Sophia Bush’s ‘Work in Progress’ podcast, Rosie shared, “I sold everything before I left, and so I’m hoping to get a place in New Jersey near my kids so that I could, when I’m home, we can have a home base here as well. You know. So I’m planning on doing that, and you know, I don’t know how long we’ll stay there.”
She added, “I think it really does depend on what happens politically in the country and if I feel mentally healthy enough to, you know, battle those demons. And some days I do. Some days I feel very strong, and other days I feel like, oh boy, this is a lot. You know. Yeah, he like bombards you. It’s always he’s doing something.”
