Rosie O'Donnell, actress and longtime enemy of President Donald Trump, said on Friday that she doesn't expect he will make it to the end of his term.
The Hollywood legend was promoting her one-woman off-Broadway show "Common Knowledge" when CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked if she planned to return to the United States after Trump leaves office in 2029. O'Donnell has cited Trump, who has criticized and attacked her for more than two decades, as the reason she relocated to Ireland with her 12-year-old non-binary child, and that she had sought to protect her mental health.
O'Donnell had a pointed response to Tapper's question.
"I don't think, Jake, that he is going tosurvive that long," she said. "All themedical doctors that you can getaccurate opinions ofwhat's happening to him, because his demise is visible andapparent to everyone who is notwillfully blind. I mean, hecalled Zelenskyy Putin. He makes the kind of mistakes thatyou would forgive at Thanksgiving dinner, but youwould never let grandpa cut theturkey because it might bedangerous."
She and Tapper named multiple gaffes, including his most recent error referring to the "Islamic Republic of Japan."
"I know thereare millions of Americans whohave lived through parents andloved ones going through exactlywhat he's going through," O'Donnell added. "Andeveryone just sits around andgoes, 'Oh, do you know? And Idon't understand it.' I thinkmy displeasure with the Democratic Party's attack of him and the urgency by whichthey need to break the glass incase of emergency — it is anemergency. It's not likefascism might come here. Fascismhas already arrived."
