Left-wing actress Rosie O’Donnell revealed this week that she left the United States for Ireland out of “self-preservation” after President Donald Trump’s elections.
O’Donnell claims she became deeply depressed after his 2016 victory.
The former Hollywood liberal claims Trump is to blame for her “overeating” and “overdrinking.”
O’Donnell made the comments during a Tuesday appearance on “The Chris Cuomo Project” podcast.
She told the former CNN anchor that Trump’s rise left her emotionally unraveling and unable to cope.
“During his first go-round, it was very difficult, and I got myself into some bad places,” O’Donnell said.
“I was very, very depressed.
“I was overeating. I was overdrinking …
“I was so depressed, Chris.”
She added that she left for Ireland after Trump’s 2024 election win.
O’Donnell claimed that Trump would enforce policies she believes would cut services for special needs children.
“Coming to Ireland was totally a way to take care of myself and my non-binary autistic child,” she said.
“Who’s going to need services and help and counseling and all the things that [Trump is] threatening to cut in his horrible plan of the big, beautiful bill.”
O’Donnell also vented her anger that Americans “believed the lies” of Trump.
