Trump Floats Stripping O'Donnell of US Citizenship

UNITED STATES, JUL 12 – Donald Trump threatened to revoke Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship despite constitutional protections, aiming to rally his supporters amid ongoing political disputes, legal experts say the move is invalid.

  • On July 12, 2025, President Donald Trump escalated his longstanding conflict with Rosie O'Donnell by announcing on Truth Social from Washington DC that he was contemplating revoking her U.S. citizenship.
  • Trump's threat follows O'Donnell's public criticisms of his administration, but legal experts note that a 1967 Supreme Court ruling prevents the government from revoking citizenship of native-born Americans.
  • O'Donnell replied on Instagram, daring Trump to strip her of citizenship while mocking him with a reference to "King Joffrey" and his distinctive orange-toned complexion, and also voiced strong criticism of his administration's policies.
  • Legal analyst Steve Vladeck called Trump's threat "patently unconstitutional," emphasizing denaturalization and expatriation require stringent legal standards and are very difficult to enforce.
  • This event highlights the ongoing personal and political clashes between Trump and O'Donnell and underscores the legal and constitutional limits on citizenship revocation.
