Trump Reignites Feud, Questions Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship

Trump Reignites Feud

A Longstanding Rivalry Returns

Former President Donald Trump has once again turned his attention to comedian and actress Rosie O’Donnell, reviving their years-long public feud — but this time, with a surprising new angle. Speaking at a campaign rally in Michigan on Friday night, Trump made an offhand comment that stirred controversy and disbelief. He questioned whether Rosie O’Donnell was even a U.S. citizen, joking that someone should “look into her papers.”

No Evidence, Just Insults

The statement came as part of a wider rant about his critics in the entertainment world. Trump accused O’Donnell — who has long been one of his loudest celebrity opponents — of spreading lies about him for years. He claimed, without any proof, that O’Donnell might have “something to hide” about her citizenship.

There is no factual basis for this claim — O’Donnell was born in Commack, New York, and has always been an American citizen. Many on social media and in the press immediately pointed out that Trump’s remark was completely baseless.

Rosie O’Donnell Responds

In true O’Donnell style, the comedian fired back quickly. On X (formerly Twitter), she dismissed the comment as “typical Trump nonsense” and mocked him for turning to personal insults yet again. She added that she would be “thrilled” to show him her birth certificate if he agreed to show his tax returns — reviving another old point of conflict.

Critics Call It a Distraction

Political analysts see the outburst as another example of Trump trying to stir headlines and fire up his base with personal attacks rather than policy details. Some view it as an attempt to shift attention away from his ongoing legal battles and controversies as the 2024 campaign cycle heats up again.

The History of a Famous Feud

The bad blood between Trump and O’Donnell goes back to 2006, when O’Donnell mocked Trump’s personal life and business dealings on The View. Trump responded with a series of vicious insults and threats, and the two have traded barbs publicly ever since.

Over the years, O’Donnell has made anti-Trump activism a big part of her public image — so few were surprised to see Trump return to his old target.

Final Thoughts

While Trump’s citizenship claim has no truth to it, the comment shows how his familiar playbook of personal attacks remains unchanged as he continues his political comeback. For Rosie O’Donnell, it’s yet another round in a battle she seems to relish , one that keeps both names in the headlines.
