Not Fake News: President Trump Threatens “Taking Away” Citizenship of U.S. Citizen Rosie O’Donnell

Look, I don’t think anyone would disagree with the statement that Rosie O’Donnell can be, at times, abrasive. Wasn’t that the appeal of the daytime talk show The View?

I personally wanted to throttle her when she spoke about seeing the Broadway show Hamilton more than a dozen times back in 2016 when it was impossible to get tickets and each ticket cost a fortune. Did she do anything wrong? No. I was just absolutely green with envy.  

Still, this headline from People magazine–yes, People, I get their news alerts. don’t judge.–caught my eye: Donald Trump Threatens to Revoke Rosie O’Donnell’s U.S. Citizenship, Claims She Is a ‘Threat to Humanity’.

Surely, I thought, this is fake news.

But no!

Here’s the Trump social media post:

To be clear, Rosie O’Donnell was born in Commack, NY–a town I hate for my own reasons, but one that we can all agree is in the United States of America. So, yeah, she’s a natural born U.S. citizen. 

Which leave me with nothing more than the immortal words of Jake Peralta:
