Rosie O’Donnell didn’t mince her words at Sunday night’s (June 7) Tony Awards when she was asked about President Donald Trump.
“If you grew up in New York, you knew he was an a**hole and a liar from day one,” the former View co-host told Variety on the Tonys red carpet. “I remember when his planes were repossessed off the runways at LaGuardia. I remember when he was broke. I remember when he would call up places and pretend to be his own publicist.”
She added, “He is a conman. He is a narcissist. And he is a psychopath, if you ask me.”
The outlet also asked O’Donnell how she thinks Trump will be greeted at Madison Square Garden on Monday (June 8), where he’s expected to attend the NBA finals game between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs.
“With a lot of boos, and I’m happy to hear it,” she answered.
O’Donnell’s latest comments come after Trump posted about the A League of Their Own actress on Saturday (June 6). In a Truth Social post, the president shared an AI-generated image of O’Donnell thinking about Trump while doing various everyday activities. “She (?) is OBSESSED,” the caption read.
The feud between O’Donnell and Trump has been going on for years. Last year, the Emmy-winning talk show host told the Irish network RTÉ’s The Late Late Show that the president has “had it out” for her for 20 years after she “told the truth about him on a program called The View.”
“I mentioned his bankruptcies, and I mentioned all of the sexual assault charges, and I mentioned that he was not, in fact, the businessman that everyone thinks he is because of the show, The Apprentice, where they sold a bunch of lies to America for over 10 years, and half of America believed it,” she stated.
Following Trump’s return to the White House, O’Donnell moved from the United States to Ireland with her daughter, Dakota. “When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back,” she told her TikTok followers last year.
Sunday’s Tony Awards marked O’Donnell’s first public appearance since revealing she underwent a facelift. Speaking to E! News on the red carpet, she said she opened up about her surgery because she “wanted to be truthful.”
“All that matters is truth and love,” she explained. “And so I wanted to be truthful and say all the complicated emotions I had about it. I just felt it was better to be truthful than not, and I didn’t want some tabloid to go, ‘Gotcha!’”
