Rosie O’Donnell’s decision to take a permanent vacation from America and relocate to Ireland has turned into a perfect punchline for President Trump. Just one day after O’Donnell announced her big move, the former Commander-in-Chief held court in the Oval Office, peppering his remarks with good-natured ribbing about his longtime adversary. It’s like Trump couldn’t resist giving the world a chuckle or two, while O’Donnell, on the other hand, seems intent on drowning her sorrows in a pint of Guinness.
As Trump took his place with Irish political leader Micheál Martin, a reporter asked the million-dollar question about O’Donnell’s new home. In classic Trump style, he responded with curiosity over why Ireland would welcome her, suggesting that the nation is known for its happy, fun-loving people—implying perhaps that they did not need a grumpy comedian crashing their party. The laughter in the room was palpable, proving once again that Trump’s humor can deliver more punchlines than O’Donnell’s TikTok account.
According to O’Donnell, her move was prompted by the “heartbreaking” state of American politics. She took to TikTok not just to inform the world of her relocation, but also to impart wisdom on “protecting one’s sanity.” Ironically, while she flees to a different continent, plugging her Substack and begging her followers to “swim in the chaos” less, it seems O’Donnell is only adding to her own chaos by becoming an internet sensation for her frantic escapes. If sanity is the goal, the path to Ireland seems just a little too bumpy with all that baggage.
Bye Rosie

Trump, meanwhile, was not about to shy away from the comedic opportunities presented by the situation. He playfully suggested to Martin that the Irish would be better off without the star who made headlines for her over-the-top impressions rather than any real political activism. Maybe Ireland just doesn’t need someone who’s already flipped the political bird as much as O’Donnell. If jokes were currency, Trump would be richer than a Hollywood producer.
As the former president continued to share laughs with Martin and Vice President JD Vance during their meeting, it’s clear that humor and camaraderie aren’t just essential for a good political strategy; they’re downright entertaining too. With each quip, Trump reinforces the idea that while O’Donnell may have hitched her wagon to Ireland, the real comedic show is playing out on American soil, right under the nose of the Oval Office. And who could resist that delightful clash of culture?
