JUST IN 🚨President Trump says he wants to be remembered as ‘a good man who saved our country’ – shock over stripping Rosie O’Donnell of US citizenship after calling her a ‘threat to humanity’…
In a move that has stunned political observers and entertainment figures alike, former President Donald Trump has declared that he wants his legacy to be that of “a good man who saved our country” while simultaneously pushing for the unprecedented stripping of Rosie O’Donnell’s US citizenship. Speaking at a packed rally in Florida last night, Trump doubled down on his decades-long feud with O’Donnell, describing her as “a threat to humanity, not just America.” He went on to say, “We have enough problems with foreign threats, we don’t need enemies within pretending to be patriots while poisoning the culture and the children.”
The remarks have set off a political firestorm, with civil rights groups and legal experts calling the idea of revoking citizenship for dissent “an open attack on the First Amendment.” Yet for Trump loyalists, the moment was vintage Trump: a brash, uncompromising show of power that taps directly into the undercurrent of cultural resentment that has defined much of his political brand.
Trump’s animosity toward O’Donnell goes back more than two decades, when the comedian and talk show host mocked him publicly during her time on The View, calling him everything from a “snake oil salesman” to a “bully with bad hair.” Trump responded at the time with savage insults, labeling her a “pig,” “loser,” and “disaster.” Many assumed the feud would fade with time, but it has only escalated as both figures continued to trade jabs on social media and in interviews.
Now, with Trump campaigning hard for a second term and promising what some are calling a “revenge tour,” the idea that he would target a vocal celebrity critic in such an extreme way is raising alarm bells even among some conservatives. A senior legal analyst on CNN pointed out that stripping a natural-born citizen of their citizenship is unconstitutional, calling the threat “purely rhetorical but extremely dangerous in principle.”
Meanwhile, O’Donnell has fired back, tweeting late last night: “I’d rather be a citizen of anywhere else than Trump’s America. If he wants to deport me, he’ll have to catch me first. I’m not going anywhere.” Her defiance only seems to have fueled Trump’s supporters, with chants of “Send Rosie away!” breaking out at the rally.
Behind the headline-grabbing feud lies a deeper question: is Trump’s promise to “save the country” simply about policies, or is it about purging critics and reshaping the cultural landscape to suit his image? Allies insist he’s focused on border security, the economy, and “restoring law and order.” But critics warn that when a leader talks about ridding the nation of “enemies within,” they are echoing some of the darkest chapters in history.
As Trump continues his campaign, this latest controversy shows he remains a master at blending celebrity feuds with political messaging, ensuring that his name—and his grudges—dominate the news cycle. Whether this will help or hurt his quest to be remembered as “a good man” remains to be seen. For now, the battle lines are drawn, and Rosie O’Donnell, for better or worse, is once again at the center of America’s political circus.
