Rosie O�Donnell fired right back at President Donald Trump after he
threatened to revoke her U.S. citizenship in a post on Truth Social on
Saturday morning.

The comedian and former talk show host, a longtime critic of the president,
was � like Trump � born in New York to one American-born parent and one immigrant parent.

In a blistering response to his threat, she called him �King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan,� a reference to a much-hated, sadistic, authoritarian character from Game of Thrones.

Trump earlier wrote 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.�

He continued: �She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the
wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!�

war of words Saturday, less than 24 hours after he visited a flood-
devastated region of Texas where more than 120 have lost their lives.

O�Donnell, who relocated to Ireland days before Trump began his second
term, didn�t take long to respond.

She posted a photo of Trump with the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to Instagram, and wrote: �Hey Donald �you�re rattled again? 18 years later and
I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours.�

O�Donnell wrote that while he had called her �a threat to humanity,� she is �everything you fear:?a loud woman,?a queer woman,?a mother who tells the truth�.?

After contrasting their lives and outlooks, O�Donnell writes: �You want to revoke my citizenship??Go ahead and try, King Joffrey with a tangerine
spray tan.�

She adds: �I�m not yours to silence.?I never was. ???? Rosie.�

O�Donnell and Trump have been feuding since 2006, when she criticized his
moral character, calling him a �snake-oil salesman� and �not a self-made
made,� while she was a host of The View on ABC.

They have traded barbs ever since.

There is no presidential power to strip anyone of citizenship, but since returning to the White House, Trump has sought to end birthright
citizenship, guaranteed to Americans under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

The 14th Amendment states: �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.�

In another alarming move, a recently unveiled memo from the Department of Justice outlines the Trump administration�s plans to �maximally pursue� denaturalization of American citizens.

Approximately 25 million people in the U.S. are naturalized citizens, or immigrants who completed the lengthy legal process to gain citizenship.

According to the June 11 memo, the Justice Department�s civil division will �prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence.�

That evidence would need to be proof that an individual �illegally
procured� citizenship through fraud or other means. It is rare, but it does happen.

Days before Trump's return to the White House, the 63-year-old comedian
left the U.S. and moved to Ireland, which she says has helped improve her health and sleep.

Nevertheless, she remains a fierce critic of Trump, and on Sunday, she
blamed him for the impact of the deadly flash floods in Central Texas in a lengthy TikTok video.

�And, you know, when the president guts all of the early warning systems
and the weather forecasting abilities of the government, these are the results�� O'Donnell said in part.

As many as 129 people are known to have died in the disaster, with
contributing factors being an insufficient early warning system and the
timing of the storm, which hit as it did in the middle of the night.

In March, O�Donnell questioned how Trump comfortably won every swing state
in the 2024 election, claiming that one of his �best friends owns and runs
the internet,� likely referring to former �first buddy� Elon Musk.

Despite her long-running criticism of the president, there is no evidence
that O�Donnell is a �threat to humanity.�
