WASHINGTON, DC: Comedian Rosie O’Donnell says her daughter Dakota still resents President Donald Trump for prompting the family’s move to Ireland.
O’Donnell, who relocated overseas for safety after Trump’s 2024 election win, left the US just days before his January inauguration, a decision that continues to stir emotion at home.
Rosie O’Donnell talks about her daughter’s intense feelings about Trump
During a recent episode of 'The Jim Acosta Show,' Rosie O’Donnell appeared via FaceTime from Ireland, where she now lives with her daughter.
In a clip that quickly went viral and drew more than a thousand comments, O’Donnell revealed that her daughter Dakota is furious with Trump, believing he is the reason they had to relocate to Ireland.
When Acosta remarked that she likely has “mixed feelings” about speaking out, O’Donnell jumped in with a candid response. “I have to tell you the truth,” she said.
“My daughter keeps saying, ‘Damn him, damn Trump,’” even pounding her fist on the table in frustration.
“He made us move for our own safety, and now he's destroying the country. She lives here, she hears what I'm saying to you.”
Rosie O’Donnell blames Trump for not attending her daughter’s college graduation
Rosie O’Donnell’s remarks follow her recent claim that she skipped her daughter elder daughter Vivienne O’Donnell’s college graduation because of security concerns tied to her long-running feud with Trump.
Speaking on the 'No Filter' podcast, the comedian said, “My daughter graduated college, and I didn’t go back because the security people said to me they didn’t think it was wise Because I think Trump will use me to rile his base.”
She added, “I’m his nemesis in his mind and to them … to like a third of the country.”
O’Donnell and Trump have been publicly at odds for nearly two decades, ever since she labeled the then-New York real estate mogul a “snake oil salesman.”
Over the years, Trump has fired back with insults, calling her “unattractive,” “mentally sick,” and a “loser,” while O’Donnell has referred to him as a “criminal con man” and a “cheater.”
In recent weeks, Trump has escalated the rhetoric by threatening to strip O’Donnell of her American citizenship and calling her a “threat to humanity.”
In her conversation with host Kate Langbroek, O’Donnell described her move to Ireland as “quite a success.”
She said people often question why she continues speaking about Trump and the US after relocating. “I never gave up my citizenship, nor would I,” she explained, noting she’s in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship as well because of her family roots.
“I care about my country. I love my country. I am very patriotic, and I knew that I would not be able to deal with what was about to happen, and it certainly has.”
O’Donnell said she believes the US is now “in serious trouble,” criticizing Trump for deploying National Guard troops to cities like Los Angeles and Washington, DC, where, in her view, “no unrest, there are no insurrections, where there is not mass violence.”
