Ellen DeGeneres Shares Blunt Three-Word
Trump’s Threat
Donald Trump sparked backlash after posting on Truth Social that Rosie O’Donnell was a
“Threat to Humanity” and suggesting her U.S. citizenship be revoked.
He also said she should remain in Ireland, where she has lived since his presidency.
Legal Reality
Legal experts quickly rejected the claim. University of Virginia law professor Amanda Frost said,
“The president has no authority to take away the citizenship of a native-born U.S. citizen,”
noting the Constitution protects birthright citizenship regardless of politics.
O’Donnell Responds
O’Donnell fired back by sharing a photo of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein and writing,
“I’m everything you hate about what’s still right with America.”
The White House dismissed her response as “unhinged rants.”
Ellen’s Support
Ellen DeGeneres publicly backed her friend, posting on Instagram,
“Good for you @rosie,” highlighting solidarity as the
exchange underscored Trump’s ongoing use of divisive rhetoric.
