At one level, she touched on Trump’s remark about her to Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin throughout his go to to the White Home earlier this month, admitting she wrote Martin an apology.
She was proven a clip from Trump’s assembly with Martin, and when requested the way it felt to observe it, she mentioned it was “very, very surreal.”
“He’s been doing it for two decades, and I’m still not used to it every time he does,” she added, referencing their feud, which started after she made feedback about him on “The View” in 2006.
O’Donnell continued, “I felt very troubled that they put the taoiseach (Irish prime minister) in that position and didn’t treat him with the respect that a leader of that kind deserves when he’s visiting the White House. I wrote the taoiseach with a little note apology to his email and got a note back that they had received it and thanked me. But I just wanted him to know the history and what happened and why he seems to be out to get me in ways that are startling to most.”
Throughout Martin’s go to with Trump on March 12, a reporter requested him, “Why in the world would you let Rosie O’Donnell move to Ireland? I think she is going to lower your happiness.”
Earlier than Martin may reply, Trump chimed in and replied, “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.”
In her new interview, O’Donnell spoke about Trump and her resolution to depart the U.S. to maneuver to Eire at size, saying that she by no means imagined she’d depart the nation and that it’s “overwhelmingly sad to me personally and way too much for me to take as well emotionally” that he gained the presidential election in 2024.
