Summary

Trump Threatens

President Donald Trump threatened to revoke Rosie O'Donnell’s U.S. citizenship again on August 3, 2026.
O'Donnell, who moved to Ireland during Trump’s second term and obtained Irish citizenship, called U.S. politics “overwhelmingly depressing, unconstitutional, illegal and criminal.”
She announced on July 27 Instagram that she will stay in Ireland as her non-binary child, Clay, starts eighth grade because she sleeps better there away from “terrifying” U.S. politics.
