Rosie O’Donnell admits obsession with criticizing Trump

Is Rosie O’Donnell’s move across the Atlantic just a backdrop for her unrelenting focus on President Donald Trump?

After relocating to Ireland earlier this year, the actress and former talk show host has unleashed a barrage of criticism against Trump, claiming he’s a danger to democracy while admitting her own struggle to stop obsessing over him, Breitbart reported

Let’s rewind to her latest chapter: O’Donnell packed up and moved to Ireland, perhaps hoping for a quieter life away from American politics.

Rosie’s Relocation and Relentless Commentary

Yet, the distance hasn’t dulled her fixation; she’s confessed to thinking about Trump far more than she’d prefer.

Despite promising her therapist to avoid mentioning the president for a couple of days—and later stretching that to three—she barely lasted hours before breaking her own vow, per the Washington Post.

Her social media posts and videos are a whirlwind of frustration, accusing Trump of erratic behavior and even questioning his mental fitness for office.

Accusations of Dangerous Behavior

In a recent video, she didn’t hold back, stating, “He’s making crazy posts, like someone with temporal frontal lobe dementia and out of control” (Rosie O’Donnell).

That’s a heavy charge, and while it’s her opinion, it sidesteps the reality that Trump’s supporters see his unfiltered style as a refreshing break from polished politicos.

O’Donnell also pushed for drastic measures, repeatedly calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power, urging, “Come on, people, come on” (Rosie O’Donnell).

Claims of Broader Conspiracies

She’s not just targeting Trump; O’Donnell insists there’s a larger scheme at play, alleging others have manipulated him due to his attention-seeking nature.

While she admits he might not be the mastermind behind any grand plot, she argues he’s a willing participant, which she finds deeply unsettling.

Her warnings grow darker as she claims Trump’s actions could jeopardize future democratic processes if unchecked before upcoming elections.

Personal Toll on Family Life

Perhaps most poignant is the personal impact; O’Donnell shared that her 12-year-old non-binary child with autism is so distressed by Trump that the child resorts to physical outbursts, believing the president forced their family to leave the U.S.

That’s a heartbreaking glimpse into how political divides can ripple into private lives, though one might question whether such intense focus on a single figure helps or harms family healing.

Ultimately, O’Donnell’s struggle to detach—despite her friend’s advice to “disconnect,” as noted by the Washington Post—paints a picture of a woman caught between her convictions and her well-being, a tension many Americans might quietly relate to in these polarized times.
