Rosie O’Donnell responds to Donald Trump’s threat to revoke her citizenship in a post on Instagram alongside a photo of him with his best friend

The claim involves two main components: first, that Donald Trump threatened to revoke Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship, and second, that Rosie O'Donnell responded on Instagram with a post including a photo of Trump with his best friend. Multiple credible news sources confirm that Trump posted on Truth Social that he was "giving serious consideration" to revoking O'Donnell's citizenship, calling her a "threat to humanity" and suggesting she should remain in Ireland if they want her.deadline.comdeadline.comDonald Trump Threatens To Revoke Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship; She Calls Him “A...newsweek.comnewsweek.comDonald Trump Threatens to Take Away Rosie O'Donnell's Citizenship

This threat is widely reported as rhetorical and legally baseless since the president does not have the authority to revoke citizenship unilaterally under the U.S. Constitution. Regarding O'Donnell's response, reputable outlets such as Reuters and The Globe and Mail report that she replied on Instagram with posts stating that Trump opposes her because she "stands in direct opposition with all he represents".

These posts included a photo of Trump alongside an associate described as his "best friend," which aligns with the claim's description. The context includes O'Donnell's relocation to Ireland and her long-standing public feud with Trump. While the threat itself is not legally actionable, the social media exchange between the two is factual and documented.

The claim is mostly accurate but lacks nuance about the legal impossibility of revoking citizenship by presidential decree and the rhetorical nature of Trump's threat.
