Left-wing comedian Rosie O’Donnell is applying for Irish citizenship.

The former View co-host confirmed this news in a recent interview. The White House couldn’t be happier about her decision.

O’Donnell is 63 years old. She spoke with an Australian newspaper about her plans. She is currently in self-imposed political exile in Ireland.

O’Donnell moved there to protest President Donald Trump’s triumphant return to office.

The Commack, New York-born performer self-deported back in March. She said she moved to protect her safety and sanity. Now she looks one step closer to making Ireland her permanent home.

O’Donnell spoke with the Sydney Daily Telegraph newspaper on Monday. She was preparing for a tour Down Under when she made her announcement.

“I am applying and about to be approved for my Irish citizenship as my grandparents were from there and that’s all you need.”

“It will be good to have my Irish citizenship, especially since Trump keeps threatening to take away mine.”

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded to the news. She spoke with Fox News Digital about O’Donnell’s revelation.

“What great news for America!”

The White House response was reported by the New York Post. The savage comment perfectly captured what many Americans think about O’Donnell’s departure.

O’Donnell made clear in her latest interview that she fears Trump. She is scared of the future of the USA under his leadership.

“What’s coming is fascism in the United States, pure and simple. Christian white nationalism, and that’s not democracy, and that’s not a democratic republic, and you know, that’s not who we are.”

“I feel that if we let them continue on, we are doomed as a democracy.”

O’Donnell has been a vocal Trump critic for decades. The two have feuded publicly since the early 2000s. Their conflict began when Trump was still a businessman and reality TV star.

O’Donnell called Trump names during her time on The View. Trump responded by mocking her appearance and intelligence. The feud became legendary in American pop culture.

When Trump won the presidency in 2016, O’Donnell was devastated. She became even more unhinged in her criticism. She called for his removal from office constantly.

After Trump left office in 2021, O’Donnell thought she was free. But Trump’s triumphant return in the 2024 election broke her completely. She couldn’t handle living in America under his leadership again.

So she packed her bags and moved to Ireland. She claimed she needed to protect her mental health. The reality is she couldn’t stand living in a country that rejected her political views.

Now O’Donnell wants to make her exile permanent. She is applying for Irish citizenship based on her grandparents’ heritage. Ireland allows citizenship through ancestry.

O’Donnell claims Trump keeps threatening to take away her American citizenship. This is ridiculous and false. Trump has never threatened to revoke anyone’s citizenship for political speech.

But O’Donnell lives in a fantasy world of fear. She believes Trump is a fascist dictator. She thinks Christian white nationalism is taking over America.

These delusional claims show how detached from reality she has become.

The White House response was perfect. Instead of ignoring O’Donnell, they celebrated her departure. They called it great news for America.

This savage comment will enrage O’Donnell and delight Trump supporters. It shows the administration has a sense of humor about its critics. It also sends a clear message to other celebrities threatening to leave.

Nobody will miss them if they go.

Many celebrities threatened to leave America if Trump won in 2016. Almost none actually left. They enjoyed the attention from making threats but didn’t follow through.

O’Donnell is one of the few who actually left. She put her money where her mouth is. She self-deported to Ireland and now seeks permanent citizenship there.

Good riddance to her. America doesn’t need celebrities who hate the country and its elected leaders. If O’Donnell thinks Ireland is better, she should stay there permanently.

The White House response reflects what millions of Americans think. O’Donnell’s departure really is great news for America. One less angry leftist celebrity spreading lies about the president.

Trump has joked about O’Donnell’s move to Ireland before. He mentioned it during meetings with Irish officials. Everyone had a good laugh about it.

O’Donnell can claim she’s protecting democracy all she wants. The truth is she ran away because Americans rejected her political worldview. Trump won in a landslide.

She couldn’t handle the reality of Trump’s popularity. So she fled to Ireland to live in her fantasy world.
