Rosie O’Donnell announced that she had left America and moved to Ireland following the recent political turmoil.
“The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming, and I’m very grateful,” she said in her announcement on TikTok.
The comedian has clashed with President Donald Trump for years but says the recent move is the best thing for her and her daughter.
Well, she did it. I at least have to give Rosie O’Donnell credit. She moved to Ireland. She at least followed through with her word and left the country.
Now waiting for all the other liberal hacks to leave like they promised.

“I miss my other kids, I miss my friends, I miss many things about life there at home,” she said, adding that she is currently in the process of obtaining her Irish citizenship.
“When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back,” she added. “It’s been heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically and hard for me personally as well.”
In the Oval Office, Trump joked about her announcement.
“Why in the world would you let Rosie O’Donnell move to Ireland?” a reporter asked. “I think she is going to lower your happiness.”

“That’s true, I like that question. Do you know you have Rosie O’Donnell? Do you know who she is? You’re better off not knowing,” Trump replied.
