Rosie O’Donnell hits back calling Trump ‘King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan’

www.independent.co.uk

Rosie O’Donnell fired right back at Donald Trump after he threatened to revoke her U.S. citizenship in a post on Truth Social on Saturday morning.

The comedian and former talk show host, a longtime critic of the president, was — like Trump — born in New York to one American-born parent and one immigrant parent.

In a blistering response to his threat, she called him “King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan,” a reference to a much-hated, sadistic, authoritarian character from Game of Thrones.

From my perspective, he's still salty about her making fun of him back in the 90s on her daily TV talk show. He made it worse by not letting it go and taking out full page ads in the New York Times in response. She would then show the ads to the audience and read it on the air. Then she would make new jokes about what a giant man-baby he was.
That was enough to convince me, then, that Donald Trump was not a good person. That was about 25 years ago. I have not changed my mind about him. In fact, I dislike him much more now than I did then. It astounds me that anyone voted for that moron.
- A similar thing happened when he turned up to a White House press gala and Obama made him the butt of a joke. I think that was the moment Donny decided to run for president.
  
  Obama's jibe came after years of Trump stirring up racist conspiracy theories against him. It's not like Trump wasn't asking for it.
  
  He already tried to run for President before in 96. I truly believe even his run in 2016 was meant to be a loss - he was gonna get primaried out by someone more competent, or failing that, lose the general, and then he'd build a media network (since he registered a bunch of groundwork and trademarks for that) so he could be Glenn Beck 2.0 and scream about how The Liberals Made Me Lose. You can see it in his acceptance speech and how shitty everything was getting done in his first year - nobody expected him to win, he didn't even expect to win, so he did zero work beforehand that would've been required if he won.
  Then he got a taste of the power and prestige and cult following he had, and decided the one thing he couldn't live without was a mass of people cheering his name no matter what he did.
  
  In addition to Seth Myers doing the same on the same night. That's why Trump's always talking about Myers having marbles in his mouth, whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean.
  
  It was the White House correspondents dinner and it was broadcast on television.
  
  Thanks Obama!
- I’m right there with you. I hate him and his cadre of slimeball traitorous morons with the fury of a thousand suns.
That's an insult to Joffrey.
- And Tywin if we're honest
Getting in a war of words with a professional stand up comedian.
That doesn't seem like a very "stable genius " move.
- I am sure many of the comedians out there are calling Rosie to offer material.
  
  Cliff Cash, Johnny Cash's cousin, would probably be happy to lead her through a new "Southern Strategy."
- Getting in a war of words with a professional stand up comedian.
  These people never learn lol...
It still astonishes me that a country with 340 million people can pick this guy to be its leader and public face.
- He gave people permission to say and act on their most vile thoughts.
  
  This prompted me to think "What is my most vile thought?"
  And I guess it's sexual fetishes. But even with that, even though I'm doing horribly mean things to/with women, and putting them through absolute punishment, I'm still getting consent first.
  That being said, why is it so hard to ask to find a woman who will let me tie them to my bed naked, put a ginger root in their mouth, and tell them if they drop it, I'll carve it into a dildo, shove in their ass, and spank them? Then to make sure that happens, I tickle their feet.
  See? Totally vile, and evil, and sadistic......but they have a safeword and give consent first! I'm not a monster.
- I remember when I was a kid, and I said Raphiel was the coolest Ninja Turtle. And everybody else said Michelangelo.
  I was told I was wrong because otherwise it would mean everyone else was wrong.
  I said "Then everyone else is wrong together. Just like when they cancelled PeeWee's Playhouse."
  I'm now 41, and still stand by both statements. Everyone can be wrong together.
- You should include a trigger warning with that pic 4real
- Ew, please provide some warning.
- He really epitomises America.
  
  They truly did get what they asked for and I don't mean now but decades on decades in th making.
  They're run by a rube. A charlatan. A bigot. A liar. A racist. A man with no morals. A man with no God above the Almighty dollar.
  This is America.
  Many people have stated this, but the good that came from Trump is now it's all laid bare. They are no longer hiding who they are.
  This is America.
Don't forget Joffrey was also born from incest.
- tRump just fantasizes about it with his daughter.
I really don't like her either, but damn, that got an authentic "Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho damn..." belly laugh out of me.
- What’s wrong with Rosie? She’s a little too loud and obnoxious to me, but that could be just me reacting to the Yankee in her. Otherwise she’s not harming anyone I know of.
  
  Maybe op was confusing Rosie and Roseanne?
  
  Yeah Rosie O’Donnell is pretty great. She’s an OG.
Joffrey had more charm
- And intelligence and a plan. He was a petulant child, though.
  
  Joffrey also had some decently smart people helping him. The lad would've gotten his throat slit long ago if Tywin wasn't around.
Fear is how they win, I like her response.
I want to see Trump drink from that cup on live TV.
- I'd love that, and more of they blamed Melania, lol!
That might hurt him if he read the books or watched the show.
All he watches is Faux News and probably old episodes of The Apprentice. He has no idea who Joffrey is.
- Something to do with ballet?
  
  That’s the bear with the little car right?
- He's the king, so that must be good, right?
Don't give him more ideas.
That's an excellent reference. May he drink from his cup soon.
Damn... she put him in his place
- Yeah… I’m sure he’ll stop now.
  
  Wouldn't that be nice?
Hahaha. She’s not wrong.
