Rosie O’Donnell Explains Her Secret Return to America Amid Trump's Citizenship Threats

Rosie O'Donnell did not announce her return to the United States. There were no social media posts, no press alerts, and no public appearances. After more than a year living abroad, she came back quietly, stayed for two weeks, and left again without drawing attention.

The visit was deliberate. This was not about reclaiming a public role or staging a political moment. She wanted to feel the country again after distance. She wanted to see her family. She wanted to know how difficult it would be to enter and exit the U.S. under the current climate.

She shared these details during an interview with Chris Cuomo on SiriusXM’s Cuomo Mornings. Her explanation made one thing clear. This was personal, not performative.

She had not been home in over a year.

And what did she discover?  That Trump isn’t the fascist she makes him out to be?  That maybe she’s neurotic?

She had not been home in over a year.

This is nothing more than her wanting to get back to the familiar, where people talk like her (more or less, just not so stupidly).

All the people 'fleeing' Trump are all begging to come back.
Ellen and Rosie have both surrendered to Trump.

How many people who cannot afford to return are stranded in foreign shitholes with no way out.

Of the ones who have rabid TDS? They're a few millions shy of the optimum.
