Rosie O’Donnell fired right back at Donald Trump after he threatened to revoke her U.S. citizenship in a post on Truth Social on Saturday morning.
The comedian and former talk show host, a longtime critic of the president, was — like Trump — born in New York to one American-born parent and one immigrant parent.
In a blistering response to his threat, she called him “King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan,” a reference to a much-hated, sadistic, authoritarian character from Game of Thrones.
From my perspective, he’s still salty about her making fun of him back in the 90s on her daily TV talk show. He made it worse by not letting it go and taking out full page ads in the New York Times in response. She would then show the ads to the audience and read it on the air. Then she would make new jokes about what a giant man-baby he was.
That was enough to convince me, then, that Donald Trump was not a good person. That was about 25 years ago. I have not changed my mind about him. In fact, I dislike him much more now than I did then. It astounds me that anyone voted for that moron.
A similar thing happened when he turned up to a White House press gala and Obama made him the butt of a joke. I think that was the moment Donny decided to run for president.
He already tried to run for President before in 96. I truly believe even his run in 2016 was meant to be a loss - he was gonna get primaried out by someone more competent, or failing that, lose the general, and then he’d build a media network (since he registered a bunch of groundwork and trademarks for that) so he could be Glenn Beck 2.0 and scream about how The Liberals Made Me Lose. You can see it in his acceptance speech and how shitty everything was getting done in his first year - nobody expected him to win, he didn’t even expect to win, so he did zero work beforehand that would’ve been required if he won.
Then he got a taste of the power and prestige and cult following he had, and decided the one thing he couldn’t live without was a mass of people cheering his name no matter what he did.
Nah, the 2016 run was never meant to succeed, because it was just meant to raise his public profile, because he was negotiating for a better salary on the apprentice. Gwen Stefani had just gotten a deal making more money than him for judging the voice and he was salty a woman was earning more than him.
Thanks Obama!
Obama’s jibe came after years of Trump stirring up racist conspiracy theories against him. It’s not like Trump wasn’t asking for it.
Yeah but Trump was deadly serious about it.
That sounds like something an adult would say. Donald Trump is not an adult.
In addition to Seth Myers doing the same on the same night. That’s why Trump’s always talking about Myers having marbles in his mouth, whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean.
Basically, everybody.
It’s easy yet still rewarding.
It was the White House correspondents dinner and it was broadcast on television.
I’m right there with you. I hate him and his cadre of slimeball traitorous morons with the fury of a thousand suns.
