Rosie O’Donnell, the comedian and former TV host, moved to Ireland after Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election.
O’Donnell, a longtime critic of Trump, left the U.S. just days before his inauguration, citing the political climate and a desire for equal rights.
She’s applying for Irish citizenship, as her grandparents were from Ireland, and is settling into her new life with her daughter, Dakota.
O’Donnell’s decision comes after years of public feuds with Trump, starting in 2006, and her outspoken criticism during his presidency.
While some mocked her departure, others supported her choice, expressing similar frustrations with the state of the U.S. O’Donnell continues to hope for positive change in America but is focused on her new life in Ireland for now.
