President Donald Trump took a jab at television personality Rosie O’Donnell during a press event on Monday, saying Ireland can “keep her” in a comment that drew both laughter and attention from the media.
The remarks came during a discussion about U.S.-Ireland relations and cultural exchanges, where Trump was asked about O’Donnell’s recent commentary on American politics. Trump, known for his sharp tongue when addressing critics, quipped, “Well, I hear Rosie’s in Ireland now — they can keep her. She seems happy over there.”
O’Donnell, a longtime critic of Trump, has publicly expressed opposition to his policies and political style for years. While the comment was made in jest, it fits a pattern of Trump using humor and personal jabs when discussing his detractors.
Social media immediately reacted to the remark, with some users praising Trump’s wit, while others criticized the personal nature of the comment. Political commentators noted that Trump frequently blends humor with pointed criticism, particularly when referencing celebrities who have opposed him publicly.
Trump has not elaborated further on the comment, and O’Donnell has not yet responded publicly. Analysts say such quips are consistent with Trump’s style of mixing levity with pointed attacks, often generating viral moments in both traditional and social media.
