Donald Trump said he was considering “taking” the citizenship of US actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell, although there was a Supreme Court’s decision that firmly forbade the government to do it.
In a post about social truth on Saturday, US President said: “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not for the best interests of our country, I give serious considerations to take her citizenship.”
He also labeled O’Donnell, who had moved to Ireland, as a “threat to humanity” and said he had to “stay in a beautiful country in Ireland, if they wanted it”.
O’Donnell responded on Instagram by posting Trump’s photo with Jeffrey Epstein.
“You are everything that is wrong with America and I all you hate about what is still right with it,” he wrote in the title.
“I’m not yours to be quiet. I never did.”
O’Donnell moved to Ireland with his 12 -year -old son in January after Trump got a second term.
He said he was in the process of getting Irish citizenship based on the family lineage and that he would only return to the US “when it is safe for all citizens to have the same rights in America”.
O’Donnell and the US president have criticized each other publicly for years, in a frequent back and forth that preceded Trump’s move to politics.

Amanda Frost, a law professor at the Faculty of Law, Virginia University, said the Supreme Court decided in the 1967 case that the fourteenth constitutional amendment prevented the government from taking citizenship.
“The president does not have the authority to take citizenship of US citizens born native,” he added.
“In short, we are a country established based on the principle that the people choose the government; the government cannot vote for the people.”
