Rosie O'Donnell has claimed her autistic child is lashing out at Donald Trump for supposedly forcing them to leave the US.
The diehard liberal actress and comedian has been living in Ireland in 'self-imposed exile' after Trump's landslide electoral victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024.
'My daughter is now saying, "Damn him. Damn Trump" and smashing her hand on the table,' O'Donnell said on Friday's edition of the Jim Acosta Show.
As she motioned a fist furiously slamming down, O'Donnell added: 'And she said, !He made us move in order for our own safety. And it's now, he's destroying the country".'
The 63-year-old former host of The Rosie O'Donnell Show said that she did not 'want to give' her defiance of Trump to her child.
'Somebody can tap me out, you know?' O'Donnell said. 'I did 22 years. I don't really need to do [it] anymore, and I don't want my kid to be so affected by it.'
When she noted that her youngest child had autism, Acosta responded: 'But she recognizes what's going on'.
O'Donnell left the US in January, days before Trump's inauguration, to relocate to Europe with her youngest child Clay, who is non-binary.
She has four more adult children - sons Parker, 29, and Blake, 25, as well as daughters Chelsea, 27, and Vivienne, 22.
Social media derided O'Donnell's comments and decision to leave the US.
One user on X said: 'Rosie can't even take responsibility for her own decision to move to Ireland. Her therapist deserves hazard pay.'
Another user called 'bs' on O'Donnell's remarks and wrote: 'She needs to take responsibility for her parental decisions. She has free will and she used it to uproot her family in a fit of pique.'

Golly. Why would he child be mentally ill?
Wonder who ties who’s shoes.
I last saw Acosta on Skip Gates” genealogy show. What a dope.
Moving an autistic child to a new home is tough enough. Another country? That’s got to be traumatic4
She will never take accountability for anything.
So is this child male or female? And is Austistic and non binary?
Rosie really screwed that kid up
“She’s a mentally ill, leftist psycho who should never have been let within a hundred miles of a child.“
I agree. She can’t even take responsibility for her own decisions.
EVERYTHING is Trump’s fault.
It’s the mantra of the demonicrat party.
They’re all looney! And infested with evil.
We care because Rosie is Trump’s biggest archenemy. She’s his Joker if he was Batman.
Rosie is looking for a reason to return and she'll use her daughter.
She “fears for her safety”, yet continually keeps putting herself in the spotlight, even after supposedly “fleeing.”
zactly, the same way Rosie’s spoon made her overweight…
I wonder where she learned to hate...
Always someone else’s fault.
She is starved for attention.
You are 100% correct. Everything she does, screams "Look at Me!"
I will give her credit for leaving as she said she would. Many Hollywood elites said the same thing but did not leave.
Rosie took Tylenol while breeding.
Slip ins.
She left the country YET every damn day is on some show or podcast STILL complaining unmercifully about Trump!!! Hey Rosie leaving the country obviously did NOT HELP your TDS, you need some serious therapy!!!
Rosie loves being the victim. Her act has gotten old.
