Rosie O'Donnell has gone viral after delivering a scathing and unapologetic critique of Melania Trump. During a recent interview, O'Donnell didn’t hold back, unleashing a fury of biting commentary on the former First Lady’s public image and her time in the White House, resulting in a furious response from Donald Trump.
Rosie’s Unfiltered Critique
Known for her candid and fearless remarks, O'Donnell took aim at Melania’s role as First Lady, questioning her actions and highlighting what she sees as a lack of genuine engagement with the American people. "Melania Trump was more like a mannequin than a First Lady," O'Donnell said, her voice tinged with sarcasm. "She barely spoke, she barely cared, and when she did show up, it was like watching a walking advertisement for a luxury brand."
O'Donnell, who has been a vocal critic of the Trump family for years, didn’t stop there. "Melania’s biggest contribution to this country was probably that jacket that said, ‘I really don’t care, do u?’" O'Donnell quipped, referring to Melania’s infamous trip to a child detention center, which sparked widespread outrage. "It was a moment of brutal honesty, at least. That’s probably more than anyone else got out of her."
The comments, while biting, were not entirely unexpected from O'Donnell, who has clashed with the Trump family on numerous occasions. Her blunt take on Melania’s time in the White House only added fuel to an already heated discourse surrounding the former First Lady.
Trump's Fury: A Social Media Outburst
As soon as O'Donnell's remarks made waves, Donald Trump took to social media to express his outrage. In a tweet, Trump blasted O'Donnell for her "disgusting" and "unpatriotic" comments, while once again defending Melania.
"Rosie O'Donnell is a washed-up comedian who can’t stand that Melania Trump is a beautiful and intelligent woman," Trump wrote. "She’s just bitter because nobody cares what she has to say anymore. Melania did more in one year than Rosie has done in her entire life."
Trump’s supporters quickly rallied to his defense, calling O'Donnell's remarks disrespectful and unwarranted. "Rosie has no class," one of Trump’s followers tweeted. "Melania was one of the most dignified First Ladies, and Rosie just can’t handle it."
O'Donnell Responds: "I’m Not Afraid of Trump"
As expected, Rosie O'Donnell didn’t back down from the criticism. She fired back at Trump in a series of pointed social media posts. "I’m not afraid of Donald Trump or his empty threats," O'Donnell wrote. "He’s a man who’s spent his life lying, cheating, and deflecting. I’m proud to speak the truth, and the truth is Melania Trump did nothing for this country. She stood by while her husband destroyed it."
O'Donnell also took to her own show to continue the tirade, further explaining her position. "We all know what Melania's job was—look pretty, smile, and stay quiet. She never took a stand on anything. She was a figurehead, not a First Lady," O'Donnell stated, leaving little room for interpretation. "Her silence was her greatest weapon, and it was also her greatest failure."
