WASHINGTON, DC: Rosie O’Donnell has launched a sharp new attack on Donald Trump and his family, calling them a "cabal" and blaming them for what she sees as a decline in American rights.

O’Donnell, speaking in a TikTok video, expressed her frustration over recent legal changes and accused the Trump family of unfairly making billions of dollars while the rest of the country struggles.

Rosie O’Donnell used her platform to complain about the current direction of the United States, asking, "how, in God's name, did America become this?" She took aim at the judiciary, claiming the "Supreme Court has compromised" and mourning the loss of previous legal standards. 

When discussing the "Voting Rights Act" and a "Women's right to abortion," she dismissively told her audience, "Sorry, bye-bye" and "Yeah, no more."

She also complained that while there is not "enough funding" for government assistance, the Trump "family can make billions in a year and a half."

The comedian specifically targeted Trump’s history as a businessman to criticize his political leadership.

O’Donnell claimed the president is repeating a pattern of failure with the country, stating, "He thinks we don't understand what he's doing with that goddamn ballroom. Just like he did with all his construction companies. Just like he did with all of those casinos running them into the ground."

Despite her anger, she told her supporters to "Try to not.. give up," even though she feels "America. It's tough. We are in a tough place."

Rosie O’Donnell accuses Trump family of ‘grand larceny’

This isn't the first time the comedian has sparked controversy; recently, O’Donnell doubled down on her long-running feud by accusing the Trump family of "grand larceny from the White House."

In a fiery emotional appeal, she branded them a "grifter family" and leveled serious allegations involving "selling pardons" and "insider trading."

She suggested that the family used their political influence as a business enterprise, further fueling her narrative that they prioritize wealth over the welfare of the American people.



The comedian didn’t stop at financial accusations, claiming that the family’s actions have fundamentally damaged the integrity of the government.

Beyond the accusations, what stood out most in O’Donnell’s comments was her emotional appeal. “It’s time to act, or we are responsible for the outcome of this,” she said. “America, pull the emergency switch.”
