Rosie O’Donnell Slams Trump, Citing Serious Cognitive Health Crisis
Rosie O’Donnell has taken a firm stance against former President Donald Trump, citing concerns over his cognitive health. During an interview with Jim Acosta, she voiced her opinions from Ireland, where she relocated with her youngest daughter after Trump’s second presidential victory in 2024.
Serious Cognitive Health Crisis Claim
O’Donnell, 63, did not hold back when calling Trump a “pig.” She claimed he is experiencing a serious cognitive health crisis that is detrimental to the nation. “If you can’t tell that this man is in the throes of a serious cognitive health crisis, then you’re not awake or alive,” she stated emphatically.
Impact on Family
The comedian added that Trump’s behavior influenced her family’s decision to leave the United States. Her 12-year-old daughter, Clay, expressed frustration, saying, “Damn him. Damn Trump,” while slamming her hand on the table. O’Donnell felt a need to shield her child from the ongoing political turmoil.
Accusations Against Trump
O’Donnell also accused Trump of exploiting sensitive incidents to further his agenda, particularly regarding immigration control. She criticized the “cult of personality” surrounding him, emphasizing that it is harmful to American society.
Health Concerns Highlighted
During the interview, O’Donnell discussed a video in which Trump appeared to struggle physically, stating, “He was leaning on [an aide] because the left foot doesn’t function the same way that it used to.” O’Donnell believes this indicates a serious health issue that is being overlooked by the public.
Long-standing Rivalry
O’Donnell’s conflict with Trump spans over two decades. She expressed feelings of being unfairly targeted, noting, “The President of the United States has it out for me and has for 20 years.” She criticized Trump for his disrespectful comments during a previous interaction with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin.
