Trump lashes out at Rosie O'Donnell, threatens to take away US citizenship
President Trump on Saturday lashed out against comedian Rosie O'Donnell, calling her a 'threat to humanity' and noting that he is 'seriously considering' revoking her 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 longtime 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 those concerning the Israel-Hamas war. The administration maintains it is following the law and that 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 there, the pair's hope for a clear-sailing relationship has veered off course. 'Rosie is a very unattractive person, both inside and out,' Trump said in a decades-old interview on 'Entertainment Tonight.' 'She's basically a disaster,' he concluded.

Candace Owens: ‘Trump thinks his base is stupid'
Conservative commentator Candace Owens said on Monday that President Trump thinks his 'base is stupid' and that 'people around him' think he is 'stupid' during the latest episode of her show. Owens accused Trump of 'gaslighting the public' after the FBI and Justice Department (DOJ) published a memo earlier this month stating there's no evidence Epstein had a 'client list' and reaffirming that he died by suicide in a jail cell while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges in 2019. 'The Epstein scandal is definitely terminal cancer to Trump's MAGA movement,' she said in the video, which was first highlighted by Mediaite. 'There's no question about it.' Owens, a staunch supporter of Trump during his first White House bid, compared the administration's move to the Hunter Biden controversy, which included his stolen laptop that contained a massive record of documents, including business dealings, personal photos and emails. It was seized on by Republicans as a campaign issue after it was disseminated to the public. Owens, who has shifted her tone on Trump through out his second term in office, said the Biden case was dismissed by the 'Deep State,' accusing those around Trump of being 'people who hate him and have infiltrated his base.' 'It seems like you think your base is stupid. That's how I feel,' Owens said. 'I feel like Trump thinks his base is stupid, or, again, because I don't think he's pressing send on these messages, the people around him think that Trump is stupid. And that shouldn't surprise you given the fact that all of these people were 'Never Trump.' They were 'Never Trump.'' Owens also accused the administration of sending more weapons to Ukraine as a way to distract the public from the Epstein files, calling it 'Operation: Just Give Them More War.' 'Look at this headline: Trump announces an aggressive, or Trump is to announce an aggressive Ukraine weapons plan. Yeah, he already indicated that in that same press conference that there's just going to be more weapons sent to Ukraine, they're going to attack Russia. We're just going to have to have a world war and another reset, I guess. So, you guys just stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein,' she said. Owens asserted that she would be 'very last person that will stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein.' 'I will do his entire genealogy backwards and forwards, including everybody around him, get their genealogy, before we let go of this,' she added. The former supporter turned critic of Trump said last month that she's 'embarrassed' after campaigning for the president during the 2024 election cycle. 'He's been a chronic disappointment. And I feel embarrassed that I told people to go vote for him because this wasn't going to happen, and it is happening,' Owens said before criticizing Trump's decision to engage in the Israel-Iran conflict.
