Liberal comedian Rosie O’Donnell continues to obsess over President Donald Trump, despite recently leaving America and moving to Ireland to escape living under his second term.
O’Donnell recently announced that she had moved her family to Ireland and vowed not to return until “it’s safe.”
In the announcement, O’Donnell revealed that she is in the process of applying for Irish citizenship and intends to stay away for the long term.
However, despite fleeing the country to escape the president’s Make American Great Again (MAGA) agenda, O’Donnell still regularly posts anti-Trump content on her social media accounts.
On Thursday, the 63-year-old posted a video on her Substack channel saying she is now willing to “forgive” Trump supporters.
“I forgive them, and I know they didn’t ask for my forgiveness,” she said.
“And I hope that doesn’t sound condescending, but I forgive them for making the mistake of believing the Americanized propaganda where we sold a conman as a businessman.”
In response to O’Donnell leaving America to protest Trump, the White House said simply: “Good riddance!”
The former co-host of “The View” added that she blames Mark Burnett for Trump’s rise to the Oval Office.
Burnett created and produced Trump’s former reality series, “The Apprentice.”
She said she had met Burnett, and he was a “nice guy, and I’d love to know what happened to him.
“Was it pure greed?” O’Donnell continued.
“Cause everybody in the world knew just how bad he is, but Mark Burnett put a shine on the s—, and everybody thinks it’s gold, and it really is not.”
She also brought up Trump and Burnett earlier this week in a TikTok video.
“We’ve been lied to by the media that is corporately owned for a very long time, and one of the biggest offenders was the show ‘The Apprentice,’ produced by Mark Burnett,” she said Monday.
“He taught Donald Trump how to lie into a character and sell it with rudeness, and that’s all that Donald Trump is.”
The “League of Their Own” actress has even been writing anti-Trump “poetry.”
She describes the “poetry” as “simplistic lyrics to a song to convey a feeling or a mood.”
“Once a misogynist…always a creep/ he went after me for years and hasn’t stopped yet/ those who love him/ think I’m the anti-christ/ those who hate him/ are my people,” she wrote in part in one such effort on Substack earlier this month.
Last week, she also appeared on Ireland’s “Late Late Show.”
On the show, O’Donnell discussed her recent decision to move out of America and her longstanding feud with Trump.
In the interview, O’Donnell said she never imagined she’d leave the country.
She complained that it’s “overwhelmingly sad to me personally and way too much for me to take as well emotionally” that Trump won the presidential election in 2024.
When asked about her decision to move to Ireland, she also said:
“The President of the United States has it out for me and has for 20 years.”
She later added that Trump “sort of uses me as a punchline whenever he feels the need.”
O’Donnell also suggested on the show that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk’s involvement in Trump’s win should be investigated.
“I question why the first time in American history a president has won every swing state and is also best friends and his largest donor was a man who owns and runs the internet,” O’Donnell said.
O’Donnell confirmed her move to Ireland earlier this month.
She said she left the U.S. days before Trump’s inauguration.
In a video on TikTok, she explained that she thought it “would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child.”
O’Donnell and Trump have been involved in a feud since 2006.
It started after she criticized him on “The View” about his leniency toward a Miss USA winner who had been accused of drug use and other bad behavior.
At the time, in reference to Miss USA Tara Conner, Trump said he was a “believer in second chances.
“Tara is a good person. Tara has tried hard.
“Tara is going to be given a second chance.”
Their feud has continued over the years.
O’Donnell told Seth Meyers after Trump’s first win that she spends “about 90% of my working hours tweeting hatred toward this administration.”
Trump also brought her up in a 2015 Republican primary debate when he was asked about having called women disparaging names like “fat pigs” and “slobs.”
“Only Rosie O’Donnell,” Trump joked in response.
During last year’s election, Trump brought up O’Donnell’s name again at the October Al Smith dinner.
Trump told the crowd that “The View” had gotten “so bad” that showrunners “really need to bring Rosie O’Donnell back.”
Her name also came up last week when a reporter asked Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin:
“Why in the world would you let Rosie O’Donnell move to Ireland?
“I think she is going to lower your happiness.”
Before Martin could answer, Trump chimed in and replied:
“That’s true. I like that question.
“Do you know you have Rosie O’Donnell?
“Do you know who she is? You’re better off not knowing.”
O’Donnell later said on the “Late, Late Show” that she sent the prime minister an apology note over the Oval Office episode.
