Trump posts distorted Rosie O'Donnell photo and threatens to strip her citizenship in scathing message to comedian
Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell are certainly not friends
Donald Trump has posted a distorted photo of Rosie O'Donnell while threatening to strip her citizenship in a scathing message to the comedian.
The president is certainly not afraid of making enemies, with O'Donnell being someone he's not exactly a big fan of.
While their spat has been going on for a long while now, it seemingly resurfaced when the Trump returned to the White House in January and doesn't appear to be coming to a conclusion anytime soon.
Trump and O'Donnell's feud actually started way back in 2006 when she was a co-host of The View.

"He annoys me on a multitude of levels. [He] left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair, had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America," the comedian said of Trump during an episode of the show at the time.
"Donald, sit and spin, my friend. I don't enjoy him."
While claims Trump cheated on his first wife Ivana where widely circulated in the press at the time, there haven't been similar claims he cheated on his second wife Marla Maples.
Trump responded by dubbing O'Donnell 'a woman out of control' and they've been on frosty terms ever since.
In 2016, O'Donnell was forced to apologise to Melania Trump after retweeting an unfounded claim that her son with Trump, Barron, is autistic.
Relations haven't improved between the pair more recently. Earlier today, Trump shared a distorted photo of O’Donnell where her face had seemingly been stretched digitally.
Captioning the Truth Social post, Trump wrote: "As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship. She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!"
O'Donnell moved to Ireland with her 12-year-old child after Trump secured his second term in office after publicly criticizing the POTUS and his administration.
But while she may not reside in the US currently, O'Donnell does still have an American citizenship.
The POTUS also hit out at his long-term critic in a seemingly random attack earlier this year.
The president wrote: "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. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
O’Donnell hit back at Trump in a brutal way and played into one of the most pressing issues he is facing right now, which if of course the Epstein files.
The comedian responded on Instagram by posting a photograph of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein.
"You are everything that is wrong with America and I'm everything you hate about what's still right with it," O'Donnell captioned the post.
"I'm not yours to silence. I never was."
