Another Hollywood star has issued a biting statement against US president Donald Trump after fleeing the country to get away from him. Comedian Rosie O’Donnell moved to Dublin, Ireland, from the States when Trump was elected for a second term, and now she has opened up on the reason for the move live on CNN.

Speaking to hosts Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown via video call from her Dublin home, Rosie confessed: “I have no regrets, not a day has gone by when I thought it was the wrong decision. I was welcomed with open arms, I knew after reading Project 2025 that if Trump got in, it was time for me and my non-binary child to leave the country.

“And although I was not one of the celebrities who announced that that’s what I would do, I made the decision within my family and with my therapist that should he win [we would move], and when he did we put the plan into action and we were gone before he was inaugurated.”

Blitzer asked: “You’ve been a long-time critic of this Trump administration and a target of President Trump, for that matter, as well. What has it been like watching the last few months unfold from abroad?”

In a savage statement, Rosie replied: “It’s been heartbreaking, I have to tell you. I knew that if I was in the United States and watched him destroy the country and the constitution, really pay no mind to any of the laws that the founders stood by and that our country stands for as a beacon of shining light and freedom for the rest of the world… that should he do what the Heritage Foundation said he was going to do in that Project 2025 that we were gonna be in big trouble.

“It’s as bad as they promised and even a little bit worse and it’s been heartbreaking and personally very, very sad to watch.”

O’Donnell moved to Ireland with her 12-year-old child Clay, and previously admitted: “They’re doing so well in Ireland. I’m so, so proud and so impressed with their resilience.”
