Rosie O'Donnell blasts Trump and his ‘minions’ over ‘horrible’ Chicago move

WASHINGTON, DC: Comedian and vocal Trump critic Rosie O'Donnell slammed President Trump's decision to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago, labeling it “domestic terrorism” in a fiery social media post.

She accused the president of targeting Democratic-led cities and warned that his actions could cause long-term damage. The controversial deployment, part of Trump’s immigration crackdown, was swiftly halted by a judge, who cited multiple constitutional violations.

Rosie O'Donnell calls out Donald Trump over Chicago troop deployment

"I've been reading a lot about what's happening in Chicago. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable that Donald Trump and his minions are getting away with this b******t," Rosie O' Donnell began. "You know, horrible racist behavior, horrible domestic terrorism."

She emphasized, "I don't know. It's so ridiculous and it's so fractured. And I just hope we can get rid of him as soon as possible because what damage he's doing will not be really fixed for decades. Decades, ladies and gentlemen, really."

This comes after the 63-year-old declared in a separate clip that "insanity" is occurring in the United States. She said, "I know insanity is happening in the United States. I know it's terrifying. The only thing I can say is we are stronger than we realize together, in unison. Everyone together."

O'Donnell added, "And this is an emergency time right now. Big time, everybody. I know you feel it. I can feel it all the way over here [in Ireland]. And, you know, we're in a dark, dark place and you've gotta have hope, you've gotta have some sort of spiritual belief."

Trump critic quipped, "I don't care if that belief is nature, I don't care if that belief is a religion that you follow, but something spiritual, something that lets you know universal truths about lives and people, and you know, right and wrong."

Donald Trump's efforts for crime crackdown face a halt

Rosie O'Donnell, who relocated to Ireland after Donald Trump returned to the White House for a second term, has no intention of returning to the United States and is currently seeking Irish citizenship.

Her latest remarks came in response to Trump’s decision to send National Guard troops from Chicago to Texas as part of his immigration crackdown and efforts to address what he describes as a “war zone” plagued by crime.

However, a federal judge blocked the deployment for at least two weeks, a win for Democratic leaders in Illinois who have clashed with Trump over his push to militarize major cities.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker welcomed the ruling, stating, “The court confirmed what we all know: There is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.”

The judge ruled that the administration violated the 10th Amendment, which protects states’ rights, and the 14th Amendment, which guarantees due process and equal protection. The temporary order is set to expire at 11:59 pm on October 23, with a hearing scheduled for October 22 to consider extending the block for another 14 days.

This decision follows a similar ruling just days earlier in Portland, Oregon, where a judge temporarily halted Trump’s attempt to deploy troops in response to small, nightly protests outside an ICE facility.
