Rosie O'Donnell Claims Trump Brought Back Fascism
Newsbusters ^ | 19 August 2026 | Alex Christy

Posted on 08/19/2026 11:47:14 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Rosie O’Donnell kicked off her second night of guest hosting ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, much like she did on Monday, with Kimmel-esque nicknames for President Trump coupled with accusations of fascism while not appreciating the irony of being able to host a show in such an allegedly fascist environment.

O’Donnell also made sure to follow in Anthony Anderson’s footsteps and mock Trump’s escape from Turkey by shrinking the size of the airport catering truck to a simple cart, “This has been kind of a strange experience for me, because all of a sudden I'm re-famous. I'm back in the spotlight all thanks to President Oompa J. Loompa, who is watching us this evening from inside a catering cart. You know, I couldn’t have done it without you, sweetie. You brought me back, just like you did with fascism and the measles. But enough about him.”

While O’Donnell said “enough about him,” in fact, she was not done. Later in her monologue, O’Donnell implied Trump is about to get us into World War III as she recalled some women’s baseball news:

This next story is near and dear to my heart: 34 years ago, I was in a little film called A League of Their Own where I played Doris Murphy, third base for the Rockford Peaches. Yes, and now after all this time, women have a new baseball league of their own called the WPBL. The last time—yeah, isn't that great? Really great. The last time there was a professional women's baseball league was during World War II. So it makes sense that the new one would start just in time for World War III. There you go. I do hope this league is a success, a blast, and the biggest lesbian extravaganza of all-time....

Well then she should stay in Ireland. Why is she coming to the US if it’s so lousy?

Oh my, how usual. It’s so fascist, she moved back to live in it.

And yet curiously, when Trump was reelected president, she moved from America to Ireland without incident, and could fly back from Ireland to Los Angeles to guest-host for Kimmel, and presumably will soon return there without incident. Worst. Hitler. Ever.

I have never seen her perform, but she sounds like one of those leftist "comedians" like Steve Colbert and John Fugelsang who are always angry but never funny.

“I’m back in the spotlight all thanks to President Oompa J. Loompa”. Well, you got that going for you Rosie.

Yea and that is Rosie’s problem.

Fat, ugly, and stupid is no way to go through life, but I guess she doesn’t really have a choice.

I thought Rosie O’Donnell was living under a bridge in Ireland.

O’Donnell did say that she didn’t want to live in the US any longer. But evidently she’s back. Sigh. I guess you can’t believe anything a celebrity says.

I'm old enough to remember her first appearance--I think it was on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Getting a slot there was the big chance for comics then. Ed was hugely successful himself and very gracious to newbies, eager to help their careers.

Rosie La Vaca, or whatever her name is, has never been funny--but Ed was kind enough to give her a chance.

Here's praying that Rosie will do sorta well-okay and awakes the next morning with an unstoppable resolution to:

a) Go make a real Confession; b) Reform her life; and c) Become funny.

It's happened with actually talented people--why not her?

Her face lift has given her confidence. Like we would forget who she really is because she is so ‘refreshed’.

Wasn’t she in Ireland because her kid is trans or something? I mean, why did she come back?

The funny part would be Rosie providing her working definition of fascism.

Orange man very bad man...

I don’t know if the lesbian market cohort is big enough to support women’s baseball.

Promoting themselves as such is not good marketing.
