trump/” id=”auto-tag_donald-trump_1″ data-tag=”donald-trump”>donald trump posted on Saturday that he is giving “serious consideration” to revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship.
The president posted on Truth Social, “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. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
The president cannot revoke the citizenship of someone born in the U.S., many legal scholars note. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution says, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.”
O’Donnell is a longtime Trump nemesis. She moved her family to Ireland earlier this year, saying in a TikTok video that “when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back.”
O’Donnell has continued to be critical of Trump on TikTok and other social media, posting earlier this week that Trump “has put this country in danger” with his “horrible decisions.” She said that the cuts to the National Weather Service to the deaths in the flash floods in Texas. “These are the results that we are going to see on a daily basis,” she said.
Trump has sought to end the practice of “birthright” citizenship via executive order. That has been challenged in the courts, and this past week a judge blocked Trump’s effort.
