Rosie O'Donnell labels Trump a 'criminal con man' and says we're living in a dystopian nightmare

WASHINGTON, DC: Rosie O’Donnell is once again slamming Donald Trump.
In an interview on 'Ireland AM,' the outspoken comedian didn’t hold back, criticizing President Trump and claiming that Americans are now trapped in a real-life horror show.
“It’s worse every day. I feel like we’re in a dystopian nightmare, and no one is doing anything about it,” she fumed.
Rosie O'Donnell calls Donald Trump 'criminal con man'
Rosie O'Donnell didn’t mince words when discussing Donald Trump, labeling him “a criminal con man.” According to her, his shady resume has been obvious for decades, especially to anyone from New York City.
“I don’t understand how he’s able to get away with the things he gets away with,” she said. “He breaks the law, takes bribes, and blackmails people. He’s a criminal con man, and if you grew up in New York as I did, you knew this your whole life.”

O’Donnell painted a seedy picture of Trump’s past.
“We watched his planes get repossessed off the runway at LaGuardia. We watched him try to sell stakes in cologne and a fake university,” she raged.
She also dragged Trump’s family into the mix, slamming their now-defunct charity as a scam. “Steal money from charity, so his family can’t even have a charity anymore, in New York City, in New York state, because they had stolen money from kids’ cancer charities,” she alleged.
She concluded, “There’s no way you can look at the facts about this man and still believe in him. You have to have willful blindness.”
Fans cheer Rosie O'Donnell's comments
Rosie O'Donnell's fiery remarks quickly lit up social media, with liberal fans giving her a virtual standing ovation.
“Love that she is speaking out consistently,” one fan posted. “The Dems, and I am one, are too weak and passive. This truly is a dystopian nightmare.”
Another user vented, “What else is there to say? It feels like an unstoppable machine crushing us. I was disappointed in Kamala’s statements that we shouldn’t be looking for Democratic Party leaders to stop this, which says to me we need new leaders.”
Someone else gushed, “Her post after threats of having her citizenship taken away was perfect, and she’s right. This idiot has it all, and she still lives rent-free in his head since the '90s. He truly has the mind of a toddler.”
“Good that she's speaking out constantly, but the people that need to hear this won’t listen,” one person said. “They’ve already had their minds made up for them.”
Another added, “Rosie, please don’t stop. You’re right—nobody else is speaking out about his blatant disregard for the Constitution or our rights.”
