White House Takes Aim at Rosie O’Donnell

The Trump White House has fired back at comedian and actress Rosie O’Donnell after she poked fun at the president during her stint as guest host of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!

O’Donnell, a longtime critic of Trump, took aim at the president’s personal style and policies during her week-long stint as host, which wrapped up on Thursday.

One of her jokes, a parody of the classic song ‘Danny Boy,’ included lines like ‘Drop that Big Mac that we all know you are holding, because my dear, I worry for you so. Poor Donny boy, your polls, your polls are falling, your reflecting pool is green as Mountain Dew. Your wig’s a mess, your ballroom is appalling, and with Iran, you bit off more than you can chew.’

O’Donnell also urged Trump to resign and ‘make this country great again.’

On Wednesday, O’Donnell made a joke about Trump aide Natalie Harp, saying ‘You got to realize it’s time to hang up your wig and let Natalie tuck you in.’

The White House’s response to O’Donnell’s jabs came in the form of a statement from White House spokesman Davis Ingle, who called O’Donnell a ‘nasty woman’ and said her brain had been ‘completely destroyed by Trump Derangement Syndrome.’

‘Rosie O’Donnell is a nasty woman and a total slob whose brain has been completely destroyed by Trump Derangement Syndrome,’ Ingle said in a statement.

The feud between O’Donnell and the Trump White House goes back years, but the White House’s response to her recent jokes is not a huge surprise.

As ABC was taking on the Trump administration over its attacks on Kimmel, The View, and ABC News reporting, O’Donnell’s guest host stint came at a time when the network was filing a First Amendment lawsuit against the FCC over its early review of its broadcast licenses.

The lawsuit claims that the agency’s review is a Trump administration retaliation over its content.

The O’Donnell-Trump feud is just one of the many battles being waged between the entertainment industry and the Trump White House, with many in the industry speaking out against the administration’s attacks on the media and free speech.

As the feud continues to escalate, it’s clear that neither side is backing down, with O’Donnell and the White House engaged in a war of words that shows no signs of slowing down.
