Trump Weighs in on Rosie O'Donnell's Post-Election Move to Ireland

A nearly two-decade-long feud between Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell has been reignited, this time in the Oval Office of the White House. Following their meeting at the White House, President Trump and Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin fielded questions from reporters.

"I like that question," President Trump quickly responded when a reporter asked why Ireland would let Rosie O'Donnell move there.

He then asked the Irish prime minister whether he knew who O'Donnell was, before saying, "You're better off not knowing."

The comments come after O'Donnell opened up about why she chose to flee the United States following Trump's reelection. In a video posted to her TikTok account, O'Donnell revealed that she moved to Ireland on January 15, five days before Trump's inauguration, and is "in the process" of applying for Irish citizenship.

"It's been pretty wonderful, I have to say," O'Donnell declared. "The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming, and I'm very grateful."

O'Donnell explained that she misses her kids and friends but is grateful for the move. She stated that she will consider returning when it's safe for all citizens to have equal rights in America.

The feud between Trump and O'Donnell began in 2006, when O'Donnell said on "The View" that Trump "annoys me on a multitude of levels." The jabs continued for over a decade. More recently, then-candidate Trump made a joke about O'Donnell during the 2015 presidential debate.

"Only Rosie O'Donnell," he responded, garnering laughter and applause from the audience.
