'Great news!' White House chides Hollywood star for seeking foreign citizenship

The Trump White House chided a former daytime television star on Monday after she applied for foreign citizenship, according to reports.

Rosie O'Donnell, who has beefed with Trump for several years, recently applied to become a citizen of Ireland. She left the United States earlier this year after Trump was elected for his second term.

“It is self-imposed (political exile),” O'Donnell told The Daily Telegraph.“I am applying and about to be approved for my Irish citizenship as my grandparents were from there and that’s all you need. It will be good to have my Irish citizenship, especially since Trump keeps threatening to take away mine.”

Trump recently threatened to revoke O'Donnell's U.S. citizenship. Trump claimed in a Truth Social post that "She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!"

A White House spokesperson celebrated O'Donnell's announcement in a statement to Fox News.

"What great news for America!" White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital.
