Trump lashes out on Rosie O'Donnell, threatens to take away US citizenship
'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,' Trump wrote in a Saturday morning Truth Social post.
'She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!' he added.
O'Donnell, a long-time critic of the president, relocated to Ireland over her distaste with the president and his administration.
The comedian, in response to Trump's Saturday post, called the president a 'criminal,' 'con man,' and 'sexual abusing liar.'
'I stand in direct opposition [of] all he represents,' she wrote on Instagram. 'So do millions of others.'
Since Trump returned to the White House earlier this year, the administration has sought to revoke green cards from foreign-born students activists who have criticized the country's foreign policy decisions, particularly amid the Israel-Hamas war. The administration maintains it is following the law and these individuals are threats to the the country.
In March, O'Donnell uploaded a post on TikTok with her daughter, telling followers, 'When, you know, it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back.'
'It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know,' O'Donnell added.
She later said she was 'sleeping better' after the move to a community that was 'welcoming' and 'loving' signaling that an end to her feud with Trump wasn't near in sight.
O'Donnell first came to blows with the president in 2006 when she called Trump a 'snake-oil salesman' for allowing former Miss USA, Tara Conner to keep her title amid drug-use allegations.From there, the two's hope for a clear sailing relationship has veered off course.
'Rosie is a very unattractive person, both inside and out,' Donald Trump said in a decades old interview on 'Entertainment Tonight.'
'She's basically a disaster,' he concluded.

Full Transcript This transcript was prepared by a transcription service. This version may not be in its final form and may be updated. Julie Chang: Here's your afternoon TNB Tech Minute for Tuesday, July 15th. I'm Julie Chang for The Wall Street Journal. President Trump touted billions of dollars in investments from some of the world's biggest companies to create an artificial intelligence hub in Pennsylvania. Trump made the announcement during an AI and energy summit at Carnegie Mellon University earlier today. Google said it would put $25 billion into data centers and related infrastructure in the state and the surrounding region over the next two years. Private equity firm Blackstone promised another $25 billion and AI startup CoreWeave announced a $6 billion investment. Plus, Apple has struck a deal with MP Materials to buy $500 million worth of rare earth magnets. The move helps the iPhone maker expand its US supply chain. MP will supply Apple with magnets it produces in a Texas facility and use recycled materials processed at a site MP will build in California. Such magnets are used in iPhones as well as audio equipment and microphones inside various Apple products. MP said shipments are expected to begin in 2027. Finally, Tesla's VP of Sales, Service, and Delivery in North America has left the company. That's according to people familiar with the matter. Troy Jones had been with the electric car maker for 15 years. It's the latest high-level departure at Tesla. Less than a month ago top aid to CEO Elon Musk and top AI executive Omead Afshar left the company. Tesla has been facing declining sales and shrinking margins amid increased competition and pressure on its brand stemming from Musk's stint in politics. And that wraps up your TNB Tech minute for today. Join us again tomorrow morning for your next quick tech update.

Elon, Inc: Remembering Musk's Political Rise
On this week's episode of Elon, Inc., host Max Chafkin and Bloomberg News reporters Dana Hull and Kurt Wagner chat about Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI. The endeavor just debuted its new Grok 4 model on the heels of an antisemitism controversy, but Musk sees a brighter future for his creation, claiming it might discover 'new physics' one day. Before that happens, though, the buzziest feature of the model is its AI companions—including a pigtailed and corseted anime character. Musk introduced Grok 4 as news dropped that one of his other companies, SpaceX, would invest in xAI, and that another company he happens to run, Tesla, might follow suit (pending a shareholder vote). Our guests discuss what exactly it means when a rocket company and a car company invest in another company that's making AI girlfriends, especially when all those companies happen to be run by the richest man in the world. Then Wagner takes over the hosting chair to interview New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer about the role Musk and his Silicon Valley billionaire pals have played in building the Trump administration, starting before the Republican took office. The conversation is the first in a summer series in which our Elon, Inc. panelists interview Musk reporters about the stories we're jealous we didn't write first. Schleifer recounts the weeks following Election Day last year, when Musk embedded himself at Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago in an effort to influence the future president's plans. As candidates for top cabinet positions began swinging by the Florida club, they found themselves seated across from Musk's loyal aides. Wagner and Schleifer also discuss the constantly evolving relationship between Musk and Trump, and whether Musk will still be involved in politics when the year comes to a close.
