‘Why are you so upset?’ Rosie O’Donnell says even her therapist questioned her despair over Trump

WASHINGTON, DC: Rosie O’Donnell has admitted that her despair over Donald Trump’s presidency is so intense that even her therapist challenged her emotions. 

Appearing on 'The Best People with Nicolle Wallace' on Monday, she said, “My therapist said, ‘Why are you so upset?’ And I said to her, ‘Why are you not?’”, noting she often struggled to understand why others didn’t share her sense of urgency.

Rosie O’Donnell says even after moving to Ireland she 'feels shaken'

The former talk show host said she moved to Ireland during Trump’s second term but continues to feel shaken by his policies. She warned that his agenda affects all Americans, not just Democrats.

“When the Medicaid cuts go in, old people are going to start to die, to die,” O’Donnell said. “What he’s done hasn’t even hit us yet. And if he’s not stopped now, we have lost our country.”

Host Nicolle Wallace responded that she has had similar conversations with others who second-guess their own reactions to Trump’s politics. She described the disorienting effect as “gaslighting” that leads thoughtful people to wonder, “Maybe it is me.”

Rosie O’Donnell and Trump’s feud reignites

Since relocating abroad, O’Donnell has remained one of Trump’s most vocal celebrity critics. On September 3, Trump posted on Truth Social that she was “not a Great American” and suggested revoking her citizenship. 

O’Donnell and Trump have been feuding for nearly two decades. She famously called him a “snake-oil salesman” on 'The View' in 2006 after he refused to fire Miss USA Tara Conner.

Last month, O’Donnell claimed she skipped her daughter’s college graduation due to renewed tensions with Trump, who has threatened to strip her of US citizenship. O’Donnell was born in Commack, New York.

She had earlier addressed her long-standing dispute with President Donald Trump and shared that his policies were a major reason for her decision to leave.

“I knew that it would really tax me emotionally to have to do that,” she said of remaining in the US under Trump’s leadership. “So I’m very happy that we made the decision that we made,” she added.

 In a social media post, O’Donnell had also expressed gratitude for the support she has received from family members in Ireland.

“I’m grateful to have two cousins in Northern Ireland who have helped me adjust,” she said.
