Rosie O’Donnell has confirmed that she is in the process of getting her Irish citizenship amid President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to revoke her U.S. citizenship. “I am applying and about to be approved for my Irish citizenship as my grandparents were from there and that’s all you need,” the comedian said in a new interview with The Daily Telegraph, published on MondayO’Donnell added, “It will be good to have my Irish citizenship, especially since Trump keeps threatening to take away mine.”The White House, of course, found the news thrilling. Diald Trump has called the "A League of Their Own" actor Rosie O'Donnell a "threat to humanity."Getty“What great news for America!” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital on Monday. Trump first threatened to take away O’Donnell’s citizenship in July, as he called the “A League of Their Own” actor a “threat to humanity.” “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” he said at the time. “She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”He once again threatened O’Donnell’s citizenship in September, alongside a digitally altered photo of the comedian. “As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship,” Trump wrote on his social network, Truth Social.“She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!” he added. Paul A. Gowder, a professor of law at Northwestern University’s Pritzker School of Law, previously told HuffPost that Trump’s citizenship threats are “unadulterated dictator behavior” and “a familiar practice of authoritarians.”“He seems to view it not as an inalienable right but as a status that he can grant and take away at will, a meaningless instrument of his personal public policy,” Gowder added.
