After a self-imposed political exile to Ireland following President Donald Trump’s re-election, Rosie O'Donnell quietly returned to the United States.
During an interview with Chris Cuomo (snip) the 63-year-old actress revealed she recently returned to the country to visit her family. The actress moved to Ireland with her teenage daughter in January 2025, just prior to President Trump's second inauguration.
"I was recently home for two weeks and I did not really tell anyone," she told Cuomo. "I just went to see my family. I wanted to see how hard it would be for me to get in and out of the country. I wanted to feel what it felt like. I wanted to hold my children again. And I hadn't been home in over a year." (snip)
When speaking to Cuomo, she went on to discuss how America "feels like a very different country" to her than when she lived here because she hasn't "been watching the news" or keeping up with "American culture television" while living in Ireland.
"I've been in a place where celebrity worship does not exist," she explained. "I've been in a place where there's more balance to the news. There's more balance to life. It's not everyone trying to get more, more, more. It's a very different culture. And I felt the United States in a completely different way than I ever had before I left."
Ultimately, O'Donnell claimed she doesn't "regret leaving at all" and feels she did "what I needed to do to save myself, my child, and my sanity."
"And I'm very happy that I'm not in the midst of it there because the energy that I felt while in the United States was, if I could use the most simple word I can think of, it was scary,"

There's a tell. She refers to the U.S. as her home, not Ireland.
she did "what I needed to do to save myself, my child, and my sanity."
0 for 3, Rosie.
“I wanted to see how hard it would be for me to get in and out of the country”
wouldn’t that mostly depend upon how much she weighed?
Inflation dropping, no signs of an actual recession, expelling illegals, exposing welfare fraud, I guess these are things Rosie would find scary, lol.
Zackly.
Translation: no one there knows who she is
She wanted to see how hard it was to get in nd out of the country? And is she suggesting that she’s the object of ‘celebrity worship’?
She’’s got a bad case of ‘LOOK AT ME!”
“I guess these are things Rosie would find scary”
That and a makeup kit.
Fortunately it was only for a visit.
“I guess these are things Rosie would find scary”
“That and a makeup kit.”
And any piece of workout equipment.
“Translation: no one there knows who she is”
Or cares......here either for that matter, she’s just got delusions of grandeur.
That is a strange reason to move. I wonder what she is expecting to happen that she would have to make a getaway in the future?
how hard to get in
So she wants to be an illegal alien now ???
No doubt most people return. Do they return with a change of heart?
My solution-offer a first class one-way ticket to any of those willing to be gone for 2 years-no return beforehand. If we keep congress in ‘26 they’ll be ripe for the offer. A 2 year sabbatical/sojourn will keep them from voting in ‘28. Just find countries offering 2 year visas.
The only problem-GOP retirees might jump on it. Someone like Elon Musk can make the offer to purple states.
I thought I felt the sidewalk tip a little bit.
Home?
She needs to be deported. She isn’t an American anymore.
It’s almost as though she were living the drama and dangers of the French Resistance rather than as just another rich pampered celebrity, if only the rest of us had such difficult lives.
You would thing a Nazi country would never let her in?
Hopefully the local burglars have found out she went “home”. Now would be a good time to burgle and squat.
