LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Television star Rosie O'Donnell went on a rant against President-elect Donald Trump for being declared Person of the Year by TIME, Whiskey Riff reported.

According to the publication the former host of 'The View' has a long-standing feud with the controversial business tycoon, whom she referred to as a “snake oil salesman" in 2006. Trump also hit back at the time, calling her a "real loser".

Rosie O'Donnell unleashes tirade after Donald Trump becomes TIME Person of the Year

Taking to the social media platform TikTok over the weekend, Rosie O'Donnell vented her rage at TIME magazine for bestowing the honor of Person of the Year to Donald Trump in 2024.



 

"Well f**k you Time Magazine. F**k you. Seriously," she stated. "How about Most Dangerous Man of the Year? How about Most Criminal Man of the Year? How about The Worst President We’ve Ever Had of the Year?”

“Man of the Year? Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. There wasn’t one person you could think of who deserved it more than that lying, r**ist, criminal guy? Couldn’t think of one person?" she asked.

"Man of the Year should be changed to Human of the Year. Start to look at some of the women. Patriarchal f**ks," she added.

While initially called Man of the Year, TIME had renamed the title to Person of the Year in 1999. Despite the sexism allegation of O'Donnell, multiple women have won the award, including Melinda Gates, Angela Merkel, Greta Thunberg, Kamala Harris, and in 2023, Taylor Swift.

TIME explained their choice for 2024 in their profile of the winner, stating, "For 97 years, the editors of TIME have been picking the Person of the Year: the individual who, for better or for worse, did the most to shape the world and the headlines over the past 12 months. In many years, that choice is a difficult one. In 2024, it was not."

Rosie O'Donnell claims drones to be of extraterrestrial origin

Rosie O'Donnell addressed the recent drone sightings in New Jersey later in the TikTok rant. A large number of mysterious drones have been reported flying over parts of New Jersey and the East Coast in recent weeks, sparking speculation and concern over who sent them and why.

O'Donnell argued that they were made by an intelligence far superior to tech billionaire Elon Musk and his company.

“I don’t care what you say anymore. Truthfully. I’m 62, say what you want. Aliens are here," O'Donnell announced in her TikTok. "You know, mainstream media has gotten this thing with the drones totally wrong.”



 

"First of all, it’s been going on for months, and this is the first time, this week, that they’re actually saying it. I was talking to my shrink about this for a couple of weeks now," she continued.

"I kept sending her all of these videos. Like, we live in a time where every human, every child even has a phone with good lenses that you can get accurate shots. Everyone has a phone now. The world is different than when we grew up. Everyone has a goddamn phone," said O'Donnell.

"And this is happening all over the world. Do you think Elon Musk and his company has the ability to make plasma-esque orbs, glow, change color, blink, disappear, descend into the ocean? Do you think he has the capacity, his little company?" the former talk show host asked.

“Those are not drones only, ladies and gentlemen. Maybe there are some drones, yes. Who’s doing it? I don’t give a flying s**t, I’m not talking about the drones. I’m talking about the plasma orbs. A level of intelligence we can’t even imagine," exclaimed O'Donnell.

"How do you know that they can’t transport themselves through matter? … (These are) concepts we don’t even know yet," she said.
