Well, well, well—Rosie O’Donnell is back in the headlines. And surprise! She’s not just upset at President Trump (again), she’s allegedly moved her entire life and her child across the ocean to escape his re-election. Because, you know, democracy only counts when it gives you the result you wanted.
In a recent heartstring-tugging, eyebrow-raising sit-down with former CNN talking head Jim Acosta—because of course—Rosie detailed her recent transatlantic self-exile and how it’s affected her 12-year-old child, Clay. According to Rosie, Clay—who previously identified as nonbinary and is now being referred to as her daughter—has been emotionally reacting to life under the Trump administration by slamming fists on tables and proclaiming, “Dmn him, dmn Trump.”
That’s… quite the emotional outburst from a preteen, isn’t it?
Rosie’s reaction? “Wow, honey, what are you thinking?” The answer? “He made us move in order for our own safety!” And that’s the narrative now: Donald J. Trump, duly elected by the American people (again), is personally responsible for Rosie O’Donnell’s family having to relocate to Ireland for “safety.” Not hyperbole. Not overreaction. No, this is apparently how the world works now.
This is the same Rosie O’Donnell who, in March, proudly declared her family’s move to Ireland was necessary and brave. “It’s not easy to move to another country,” she said, “and we really felt as a family this was the safest and best thing for us to do.” You’d think she was fleeing an authoritarian regime, not a re-elected president in a constitutional republic.

“My daughter is now saying, ‘D*mn him, d*mn Trump.’ And smashing her hand on the table.”

Of course, Rosie didn’t stop there. She went full scorched-earth on the United States itself, calling what’s happening here “unconstitutional, illegal, criminal,” and—wait for it—“so very sad.” Her dream? That “the world and the nation rallies against the current administration and their horrific ideas for what will make America great again.” Let’s just skip over the fact that “Make America Great Again” was the winning message. Twice. Because it resonated with the people Rosie clearly doesn’t want to live near.
What’s painfully obvious here is that this isn’t about safety. It’s about politics. Plain and simple. Rosie can’t handle losing. She can’t stand the idea that millions of Americans disagree with her Hollywood echo chamber. So rather than stick around and do what Americans have done for over two centuries—debate, vote, organize—she flees the country, blasts the Constitution on the way out, and now uses her 12-year-old child’s meltdowns as emotional proof that Trump is destroying the nation.
It’s almost impressive how everything bad that happens in Rosie’s world is somehow Trump’s fault. She could spill her coffee in Dublin tomorrow and say it’s MAGA-related. And of course, when her child picks up on her mother’s fear-mongering and starts parroting it back with table-slamming fury, the blame still goes to Trump. Because apparently, personal responsibility and parenting with emotional regulation is just too much to ask when you’re busy fighting fascism… from a European Airbnb.
And here’s the kicker—Rosie says, “I don’t really need to do anymore.” As in, she’s ready to retire from the Resistance™ after a long, tireless 22-year crusade of yelling at Republicans from red carpets and talk shows. Maybe that’s for the best. America might finally get a break from the endless stream of celebrity outrage that treats politics like an improv skit.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, inflation is cooling, borders are being secured, and President Trump—alongside Vice President J.D. Vance—is actually doing the job Rosie claims is destroying the country. But sure, let’s all take our cues from the self-exiled Hollywood elite and their preteen rage monologues.
If Rosie thinks Ireland is a better place to raise her child, she’s free to stay. That’s the beauty of America. Even its harshest critics can choose to leave. But maybe next time, she could spare us the theatrical exit.
