Rosie O’Donnell Moved to Ireland After Trump Election, Will Consider Returning When ‘It’s Safe for All Citizens to Have Equal Rights in America’

Rosie O’Donnell has disclosed that she relocated from the U.S. to Ireland, intending to seek Irish citizenship following President Trump’s re-election.

In a nine-minute video posted on TikTok, O’Donnell expressed that her return to America would be considered when everyone there enjoys equal rights for all citizens. She expresses deep gratitude for finding a new home in Ireland, noting the warm, compassionate, and inviting nature of its people.

Although it was clear that O’Donnell was moving due to the political climate in the U.S., she did not directly refer to President Trump. Instead, she expressed her feelings about the current state of American politics by saying, “It’s heart-wrenching to witness the political situation over there and personally challenging for me as well.

As a film critic, I too find myself grappling with apprehensions about the ephemeral nature of platforms like TikTok, and the uncertain landscape of media under the current administration’s stance. These factors have led me to contemplate my own journey, much like O’Donnell in her decision to depart from the United States.

She stated that traditional news outlets in America are falling short of their responsibility, as they play a crucial role in preserving our democratic system. Essentially, she feels they’re not fulfilling their duties effectively.

She went on to say, “I urge all of you to rise up, speak out, demonstrate, call for adherence to our nation’s constitution, and reject any rule that involves harshness or tyranny by a monarch or an individual.

In her closing remarks, O’Donnell urged her audience to avoid being engulfed by the persistent, and at times tumultuous, political news cycles.

Shield your peace of mind as best you can, and avoid immersing yourself in the turbulence, if feasible,” O’Donnell advised. However, I understand that it’s hard to do so when you’re right in the thick of things.
