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.

    I really don’t like her either, but damn, that got an authentic “Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho damn…” belly laugh out of me.

      What’s wrong with Rosie? She’s a little too loud and obnoxious to me, but that could be just me reacting to the Yankee in her. Otherwise she’s not harming anyone I know of.

          You know what, you’re partly correct! Barr is an absolute bitch who should have taken the opportunity presented after the whole racism thing to just disappear.

          However, I’ve just never found Rosie to be a likeable person. Even going back to her stand up days, I’ve always found her annoying and abrasive. I do very much appreciate her tearing Trump apart though!

          Holy shit, thank you for that clarification. Idk why but I had them confused and could’ve sworn she was pro-trump (the whole RFK thing) but that was just Roseanne. I was even wondering why she was looking 10x better but just turned out I was being a dunce lol.

          That’s my guess too. Roseanne Barr got into some hot water after posting some racist BS, then blaming it on her Ambien. The maker of Ambien actually responded to her excuse with something along the lines of “being a racist is not a known side effect of ambien.”

            Oh no, I’m a loser racist shitbird. You can’t do ‘Roseanne’ without me!

            Hold my beer. 🍺
