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.'

When did Trump sing the Executive order stating Rosie was to be shipped off to Ireland?
When did Trump order ICE to send her there?
She’s a mentally ill, leftist psycho who should never have been let within a hundred miles of a child.
What's more shocking here: that's Rosie O's daughter supposedly does this or that Jim Acosta has a show?!
If Rosie hates Trump so much, why did she move to Ireland where his International Golf Club is located in Doonbeg?
That fellow Trump sounds so cruel and heartless. /S
Rosie’s style of mental illness sounds like the ones for serial killers who yell at the victims or the cops: “You did this. You made me kill them. It was your fault.”
Twenty-two years of what?!
She needs to be locked up for that child’s protection.

Even if your life sucks big time, that poor kid has it worse. So say a prayer for that poor child.
And this is just before Rosie is going to the big banquet to receive her Mother of the Year Award. /S
So autistic and non-binary? A two-fer for Rosie... But I feel sorry for the child.
If anyone should keep their stupid mouth shut it’s Rosie... But of course she can’t.
Rosie to Joe Biden: We do our best, we’re superior parents in every way and give them every advantage. Then mine turns out to be a screaming nutjob and yours used some of his illicit money for policy favors to pay for prostitutes to share his cocaine addiction stash in cheap motels. Where did the unfairness to us as good parents begin?
I wouldn’t recognize O’Donnell and her kid if they passed me on the street.
She moved herself out, probably to get attention and try and revive her media presence. Trump had nothing to do with it.
It would be useful if people just stopped paying attention to her.
No kid of Rosie’s wants to live with her, heck the last one ran away from home because living with that whack job was a total nightmare I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy
President Trump did not force your child to move to Ireland, Rosie, you did.
Who cares?
Why is this news?
A podcast from his basement, I believe
Gee Whiz! Ireland is such a bad place to live? She may be making herself unpopular there? Obviously!
