“You lie, you steal, you degrade —
I nurture, I create, I persist,” she wrote on Instagram. “You are everything that is wrong with America.”

Rosie O’Donnell is clapping back at President Donald Trump after he threatened to revoke her U.S. citizenship.

Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Saturday, writing, “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,” Trump wrote. “She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

O’Donnell, who has been a longtime critic of the president, was quick to respond on her Instagram, calling the president “a bad joke who cant form a coherent sentence.”

“The president of the usa has always hated the fact that i see him for who he is – a criminal con man sexual abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself – this is why i moved to ireland – he is a dangerous old soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy compassion and basic humanity- i stand in direct opposition all he represents- so do millions of others – u gonna deport all who stand against ur evil tendencies – ur a bad joke who cant form a coherent sentence,” she wrote.

In a follow-up post, the New York-born actress-comedian also shared a photo of Trump posing with the late Jeffrey Epstein, who was arrested in 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors. He died in 2019. “You lie, you steal, you degrade –
I nurture, I create, I persist you are everything that is wrong with america –
and I’m everything you hate about what’s still right with it you want to revoke my citizenship?
go ahead and try, king joffrey with a tangerine spray tan i’m not yours to silence
i never was,” O’Donnell wrote in part.

Under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, birthright citizenship is protected and can’t legally be revoked by the president. Julia Gelatt, associate director of the immigration program at the Migration Policy Institute, told The New York Times on the matter, “U.S. citizens can relinquish their citizenship voluntarily, and federal courts can strip naturalized citizens of their citizenship if there is proven fraud or misrepresentation or other major cause. But U.S.-born citizens cannot have their citizenship taken away.”

Earlier this year, O’Donnell announced that she had moved to Ireland, where she’s in the process of taking up citizenship, partly prompted by the current U.S. political climate amid Trump’s return to the White House.
