Comedian Rosie O'Donnell takes to social media from her new home in Dublin to voice concerns about American politics and personal challenges.
According to Breitbart, O'Donnell posted a TikTok video discussing various topics, including allegations of election fraud, ICE raids, and her decision to leave the United States before Trump's inauguration.
The comedian expressed strong views about the 2024 presidential election, suggesting irregularities in Trump's victory over Kamala Harris.
She questioned why Trump's repeated claims about election rigging have not faced consequences, though she appeared to conflate his statements about the 2020 election with the recent 2024 results.
O'Donnell's concerns about Trump administration
O'Donnell reiterated her previous assertions about Trump's mental health, specifically mentioning dementia.
She explained that her own mental well-being suffered during Trump's previous term, describing his current presidency as "heavy duty him" compared to what she called "him lite" during his first term.
The entertainer also criticized a potential deal involving Qatar donating a jet liner to the U.S. government, citing concerns about constitutional violations. She referenced the emoluments clause, though mispronouncing it as "molluments."
In her video, she expressed particular distress about recent immigration enforcement actions. O'Donnell stated:
Things are getting crazy over there in the U S of A. I mean they've been crazy for months, now, right, at least 100 days. I knew if I was there, my mental health would suffer tremendously because it did last time he was in office. And that was like him lite. And now it's like, you know, him heavy.
Mental health and medication discussion
The former co-host of "The View" openly discussed her current medication regimen, revealing she has stopped using marijuana since moving to Ireland, where it remains illegal. She shared details about consulting with her "psycho-pharm guy" from New York regarding sleep issues.
O'Donnell disclosed her use of Trazodone, acknowledging it's primarily an antidepressant rather than a sleep aid. She mentioned reading that it's often prescribed to individuals dealing with addiction issues.
The comedian also discussed her use of Mounjaro for managing diabetes and reducing sugar cravings, praising its effectiveness for weight loss. She expressed frustration about being unable to obtain a Xanax prescription for sleep assistance.
Looking ahead from Dublin
O'Donnell maintains a strong stance on her decision to relocate, emphasizing she has "not one regret" about moving to Ireland. She specifically mentioned timing her departure to avoid Trump's inauguration ceremonies.
Her recent statements highlight ongoing political tensions and personal struggles that led to her relocation. While adjusting to life in Ireland, O'Donnell continues to engage with American political discourse through social media, maintaining her role as a vocal critic of the Trump administration while managing her own health and well-being abroad.
