Rosie O’Donnell claims Trump made her ‘re-famous’ after decades-long feud

Rosie O'Donnell feels that her long-standing feud with former U.S. President Donald Trump has unexpectedly boosted her public profile, making her "re-famous."

“

I feel like recently I’m re-famous. That’s what I feel. I told my kids, ‘Well kids, hold on because mommy’s re-famous.'

Appearing on Amy Poehler's "Good Hang" podcast, O'Donnell stated, "I feel like recently I’m re-famous. That’s what I feel. I told my kids, ‘Well kids, hold on because mommy’s re-famous.'" She humorously attributed this resurgence to Trump, whom she referred to as "Mango Mussolini," suggesting he is unaware of how much he is helping her career by continuing to mention her.

“

I don’t know how it happened. I think it’s Mango Mussolini.

O'Donnell also shared her observations on Trump's public appearances, expressing astonishment at his behavior, including appearing to fall asleep during events. She described the aftermath of such moments, including what she termed "gaslighting," as stressful.

“

He didn’t know. If he knew how much he was helping my career and my life, he would shut up about me because, you know, he’s a horrible creature.

Her comments come as she discussed her recent move to Ireland, where she is seeking citizenship due to her Irish grandparents. O'Donnell expressed heartbreak over the current political climate in the United States, urging Americans to protest and demand adherence to the Constitution rather than a "king" or a "cruel" governing style. She also noted Trump's perceived "mental decline" and questioned his suitability for leadership.

“

I’m stunned by it. Like I go, is everyone looking at the same speech he just gave? Did we hear what he just said? He is asleep again, ladies and gentlemen! Like what is it going to take?
