Rosie O’Donnell’s therapist told her to ‘detach’ from Trump for two days — she lasted only hours
NY Post ^ | 12/07/2025 | Anna Young

Rosie O’Donnell’s therapist urged her to “detach” from posting about President Trump for two days — but the comedian caved within hours and was back to bashing her longtime nemesis on social media.

The former talk show host’s deranged “fixation” on the president was put on blast in a Washington Post piece profiling her new life in Ireland — a move she made just five days before Trump’s inauguration.

In the article, O’Donnell — who regularly fires off anti-Trump posts on social media — recalled promising her shrink the day before Thanksgiving that she would stop talking and posting about the Republican president for two days, a vow that crumbled almost immediately.

The 63-year-old said her self-imposed detox lasted only a “few hours,” ending when she learned Trump told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey to be “quiet, piggy” aboard Air Force One as she pressed him on why he opposed releasing the remaining Epstein files.

The “A League of Their Own” star then exploded on social media, telling CNN’s Jim Acosta she was disgusted with the White House press corps for allowing Trump to verbally “rape” a reporter.

O’Donnell told the outlet that her worn-out therapist Jennifer Kopetic pleaded with her during a recent session: “Roseann, you’ve got to detach. You’ve got to disconnect.”

Days later, she told her 1.2 million Instagram followers she’d “try again” to ignore Trump, but that second attempt fell apart just as fast.

Friends and family have grown concerned about her inability to unplug from politics, but her brother Eddie told the outlet that her move to Ireland was “the best decision she’s made.”

“Still, when you have a phone and a fixation, it can be hard to totally disengage,” WaPo reporter Geoff Edgers noted in his piece, “Rosie O’Donnell’s life in exile.”

You'd a thought this was from the Babylon Bee, not the NY Post.

Go, go, go President Trump, this is what we voted for:

I doubt she even ,asted hours. She probably blabbed about pr3s Trump the whole time she was in therapy session

and left the appointment still blabbing about him,

got home, blabbed about him to her daughter,

then called people up and blabbed about him till they couldnt take it anymore.

Then she went to bed and dreamed all night about him,

then woke up cursing him,

then booked an emerg3ncy therapy session to complain about him ruining her life

“Box wine”! lol! It hides how much you’ve actually had!

That is precisely why I no longer buy it. Cheaper, yes, but you lose track of how often you hit that spigot.

She despises Trump, yet she turns over control of her entire life to him. Makes no sense.

She actually doesn't despise him. She, like all Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) sufferers, are caught up using Transference, a psychological defense mechanism from early childhood.

"Transference is a phenomenon in which one seems to direct feelings or desires related to an important figure in one’s life—such as a parent—toward someone who is not that person."
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/transference

That she's still utilizing transference as a defense mechanism at her age is a sign she needs a new therapist who works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or that she's so determined not to resolve her issues that a therapist can't help her.

She should be committed to a mental institution.

A padded and secured confinement area followed by high intensity electro shock therapy should be considered…

While her obsession is Trump it would do most of us good to get away from the news.

For years I have recommend that on the four holidays that most Americans enjoy with their families, (Easter, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas) that people put aside politics and other subjects that might cause a bunch of arguing.

For example, we never play a certain card game because one of the family spent way too much time playing it with co-workers and is totally unable to play it in a friendly manner. It is grim, serious businesses. So Old Maid is totally off the table. :)

Sometimes it is best to let the culture war pass you by for a bit. You can get back to it in a day or two or even three.

For the sake of your mind, body and soul.

Wait’ll the new Islamic Irish get up and running…She’ll need Omar the tent maker to fashion her hijab.
