Rosie O’Donnell calls Trump family ‘grifters’, accuses them of selling pardons and insider trading

WASHINGTON, DC: Rosie O’Donnell is once again making headlines for her outspoken criticism of Donald Trump, this time accusing the president and his family of serious wrongdoing in a fiery and emotional rant.

Speaking recently in a TikTok video, O’Donnell didn’t hold back as she voiced her frustration, claiming things have spiraled out of control.

“It’s gotten out of control that we are watching grand larceny from the White House,” she said. “Selling pardons and stock trading, insider trading. This is a grifter family.”

Rosie O’Donnell doubles down on long-running feud with Trump

O’Donnell’s latest remarks are not coming out of nowhere.

The comedian has had a long and very public feud with Trump, one that has stretched over years and continues to shape her public statements.

She has often spoken about how deeply the Republican leader's political rise affected her personally.

In past interviews, she admitted struggling emotionally after his 2016 election win, saying it left her feeling overwhelmed and anxious about the future.

Despite attempts to step away from political commentary, O’Donnell has found it difficult to stay silent.

She even revealed that she once promised her therapist she would avoid posting about Trump for two days but broke that promise within hours.

Friends and family have also noticed how strongly she reacts to political developments. During a recent trip, a close friend reportedly urged her to “disconnect,” pointing out how consuming the situation had become. 

Concerns over Trump family's conduct

In her latest outburst, O’Donnell went further than before, raising allegations about corruption and misuse of power.

Her claim that pardons are being “sold” and that insider trading is taking place reflects concerns that have surfaced in recent months about financial activity linked to political decision-making.

While there has been no confirmed evidence backing such claims directly against Trump and his family, reports have highlighted growing unease over prediction markets and well-timed financial bets tied to global events.

Questions have been raised about whether individuals with inside knowledge could benefit financially from major political or military developments, leading to warnings within official circles about potential conflicts of interest.

O’Donnell’s remarks tap into these concerns, even as the White House has insisted that decisions are made in the best interest of the American people.

Rosie O’Donnell urges Americans to act

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.”

The statement reflects a sense of urgency and frustration that has become a defining feature of her public stance.

O’Donnell has previously linked her fears to issues affecting her family, including concerns about LGBTQ rights and social policies.

As a mother, she has spoken about feeling worried over what political decisions could mean for her children.
