President Donald Trump said Saturday that he is considering revoking comedian Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship, a dramatic escalation of Trump’s threats to use the executive branch to target his opponents.
“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 post on Truth Social.
He called O’Donnell a “threat to humanity” and said that she should “remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland,” which is where she currently resides.
O’Donnell moved to Ireland in January following Trump’s re-election.
There is no legal precedent for a president revoking the citizenship of a U.S.-born citizen, and such a move has no legal basis under current law.
It’s not the first time that Trump has mentioned an opponent’s U.S. citizenship in a not-so-subtle threat.
Trump earlier this month falsely questioned the citizenship of Zohran Mamdani, who won New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary.
