Rosie O'Donnell Explains Why She Moved to Ireland After Trump's Reelection
The comedian says a controversial policy blueprint prompted her family's transatlantic relocation.
What would it take for you to pack up and leave the country? For Rosie O’Donnell, it was a second Trump term and a specific document.
In an interview with Page Six, O’Donnell said she “wasn’t nervous” about the major life change.
Her reasoning was pointed. Its proposals have drawn intense criticism from Democrats and some political analysts.
O’Donnell framed her move as a strategic retreat. “I knew the best thing for me to do would be to leave until it all got worked out,” she told the outlet. Now, from her vantage point abroad, she believes the political winds have shifted. She pointed to what she sees as diminished support for the former president, saying, “I believe now people have woken up in the United States, and they understand, as you can tell by how empty his state fair was, and how his support has diminished significantly since I left.”
The move underscores how deeply political divisions can influence personal life decisions for some in the public eye.
