Rosie O’Donnell recently appeared on the Irish talk show “The Late Late Show” and shared her thoughts on American politics. O’Donnell, who moved to Ireland after the 2024 U.S. presidential election, questioned the legitimacy of the election results. During the interview, O’Donnell suggested that Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly known as Twitter), had undue influence on the election outcome.
She said, “I question why the first time in American history a president has won every swing state and is also best friends with his largest donor, who owns and runs the Internet.
O’Donnell also claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris was “filling up stadiums with people who supported her” during the campaign, while former President Donald Trump was not able to do the same. Critics have pointed out that while Musk is a significant figure in the tech world, he does not control the entire Internet. They argue that O’Donnell’s statements are out of touch with reality and fueled by her progressive political views.
In a separate incident, O’Donnell described her reaction to a question about her posed to Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin during his meeting with President Trump in the White House on St.

Patrick’s Day.
A reporter asked Martin, “Why in the world would you let Rosie O’Donnell move to Ireland? I think she’s going to lower your happiness levels.”
O’Donnell felt troubled that the Irish Prime Minister was put in that position and not treated with the respect he deserved. She even wrote a note of apology to the Prime Minister, which was acknowledged by his office.
O’Donnell, who has Irish grandparents, decided to move to Ireland in mid-January after finding Trump’s second term “terrifying.” She has since felt at home in Ireland. The actress and comedian’s remarks highlight her personal experiences with President Trump and broader concerns about respect and decorum in government. O’Donnell remains a polarizing figure, and her latest comments continue to stir debate and underscore the deep political divides in the United States.
