President Trump Reignites Feud with Rosie O’Donnell, Threatens Citizenship Revocation

President Donald Trump has once again ignited controversy by publicly stating he is considering revoking the U.S. citizenship of long-time critic and comedian Rosie O’Donnell. The declaration, made via social media on Saturday, has immediately drawn sharp legal rebuke from constitutional experts.
This latest development in their years-long public spat comes after O’Donnell, who relocated to Ireland in January following Trump’s second term victory, publicly denounced recent administration moves. Trump reportedly stated O’Donnell is “not in the best interests of our Great Country” and suggested she “should stay in Ireland if they want her.”
Legal scholars are quick to emphasize the unconstitutionality of such a move. The U.S. Supreme Court, in a landmark 1967 ruling, expressly prohibits the government from stripping native-born citizens of their nationality, citing the Fourteenth Amendment. Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia, reiterated that the president lacks the authority to revoke citizenship from a U.S.-born individual, stating, “we are nation founded on the principle that the people choose the government; the government cannot choose the people.”
O’Donnell, born in the United States, has responded on social media, acknowledging she has “upset the president” and adding herself to “the list of people who oppose him at every turn.” She is reportedly in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship through family lineage. This incident follows previous threats by Trump to revoke citizenship from other public figures, including his former adviser Elon Musk, though Musk’s situation as foreign-born differs fundamentally from O’Donnell’s.
