Mr. President,
In less than six months, you have once again turned the Oval Office into a toddler’s playpen. Only this time, instead of throwing blocks or screeching about juice, you — the president of these disintegrating United States — are threatening to strip Rosie O’Donnell of her citizenship for saying mean things about you?
Really?
Rosie. O’Donnell. The comedian. The actress. The gay Irish-American icon who has been mocking you since before TikTok existed — and who had the nerve to move to Ireland earlier this year to get away from your festering circus of fascism and stupidity.
And now you are mad about it. Again.
So mad, in fact, that you recently declared:
“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.”
This from the same man who still praises Kim Jong-un’s leadership style. The same man who told four U.S. congresswomen of color to “go back” to the countries they came from. The same man who fantasizes about alligators devouring immigrants.
We have to say it plainly: Mr. President — shut the fuck up already.
LET’S REVIEW: YOU CAN’T REVOKE SOMEONE’S CITIZENSHIP BECAUSE THEY THINK YOU’RE A SACK OF SHIT
The 14th Amendment. Heard of it? It guarantees that anyone born on U.S. soil is a citizen. Rosie was born in Long Island. Her right to criticize the president — even if it bruises your ego — is protected by the First Amendment. The one you pretend to love when it shields your Truth Social meltdowns, but forget the moment someone calls you what you are: a grifting, rage-bloated, twice-impeached, convicted felon with the emotional intelligence of a soggy bag of fries.
If Rosie is a “threat to humanity,” then what the hell do we call you, a man who tried to overthrow democracy, hid nuclear secrets in his golf club closet, and spent years partying with Epstein?
ROSIE’S NOT THE PROBLEM. YOUR FRAGILE EGO IS.
Rosie’s not launching drone strikes. She’s not caging migrants. She’s not disappearing TikTok critics or threatening judges. She’s cracking jokes and speaking truth — which, in your version of America, is apparently grounds for exile.
And let’s be honest: the only reason you’re lashing out is because she dared to post that photo — the one of you smiling with Epstein. The one that hits a little too close to home. The one that reminds people of all the unanswered questions you refuse to face.
Instead of shutting up, you doubled down with the rage of a man who still can’t believe he’s not universally loved — and who will use the machinery of government to go after anyone who makes him feel small. That’s not strength. That’s fascism with an awful toupee.
THE REAL “THREAT TO HUMANITY” IS THE BLOATED ORANGE BUFFOON IN THE MIRROR
What do you even say to a man who calls Rosie O’Donnell a national threat while handing out pardons to insurrectionists and sending the military into American cities?
We say this:
You’re not a king. You’re not a god. You’re not even good at pretending to be human. You are a disgrace to the office you hold. You are unfit. And you need to shut the fuck up.
THIS IS WHY PEOPLE LEAVE
Rosie left the country for the same reason millions are considering it: because it feels like the walls are closing in. Because your presidency is a joke with a body count. Because dissent is now treated like treason. Because comedians get threats, journalists get jailed, and you get glorified for trying to destroy the republic.
If you think silencing Rosie will silence the rest of us, you’re in for a rude surprise.
We’re not going anywhere.
We’re not going to tone it down.
And we will not be bullied by a petty old man who can’t handle the truth blowing in the wind — especially when it gets within earshot.
So again, Mr. President — with all due respect, and from the bottom of our democracy-loving hearts:
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
