President Donald Trump and comedian Rosie O’Donnell have been butting heads for two decades.
Their bad blood dates back to O’Donnell’s stint on “The View” daytime talk show in 2006. But more recently, the two have been trading shots on social media.
O’Donnell mocked Trump’s hair, called out for bad business deals, and branded him as a “snake-oil salesman” on live television.
Trump fired back at the Emmy Award winner in interviews. The former “The Apprentice” reality television host labeled his eternal adversary as a “woman out of control” and a “loser.”
Twenty years later, O’Donnell has kept her foot on Trump’s neck, including during a recent appearance on “On With Kara Swisher.”
O’Donnell tapped into her musical theater experience to slam the president by remixing the “If I Only Had a Brain” song from the classic 1939 movie “The Wizard of Oz.”
“His approval rate is 30. His diapers always dirty. I think the guy’s insane,” O’Donnell sang about the MAGA chief on the Aug. 3 episode of the podcast.
She continued her melodic takedown of Trump by crooning, “He ain’t no stable genius. Got a teeny-tiny penis and he doesn’t have a brain.”
O’Donnell explained that she wanted to sing that song on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
However, she was not permitted to do the performance because the parody was deemed too political.
Trump apparently got wind of O’Donnell’s comedic clapback. He took to his Truth Social platform to troll the “A League of Their Own” actress.
On Aug. 6, the president posted an artificial intelligence-generated image of himself as a medical professional treating his rival for “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
The AI version of Trump held a clipboard of exam results that listed O’Donnell having “massive/severe TDS” and a “98/100 critical level.”
MAGA adapted the early 2000s-era “Bush Derangement Syndrome” slogan to create a go-to attack against Trump’s critics.
The president often uses the fake diagnosis as a way to silence the critiques.
Trump has mastered the art of rallying his loyal supporters, but he just as often invites backlash and ridicule.
An account on X speculated that O’Donnell lampooning Trump got under his skin, writing, “Guess he didn’t like her song about him …”
“I’m guessing Rosie hit a nerve and he can’t do a damn thing about it other than tweet memes,” a second person guessed.
“He is projecting. He suffers from Trump Derangement Disorder as does his supporters!” exclaimed one detractor of the president.
Similarly, one person expressed, “I don’t really get that. Trump is deranged.” Someone else wondered, “Doesn’t this clown have a job he’s supposed to be doing?”
“Such a snowflake. He invents a disease if you don’t agree with him… pathetic,” tweeted another Trump cynic.
Trump has made sharing AI images an obsession in recent months. In April, he triggered widespread outrage by depicting himself dressed in a white robe and red shawl.
Many Christians accused Trump of blasphemy for depicting himself as Jesus Christ caring for a bedridden man. The backlash prompted him to delete the post and claim he believed the meme portrayed him as a Red Cross doctor.
“Oh god, Dr. Jesus strikes again; can’t someone take his phone away?” read another critical tweet.
Another joked, “That ain’t no doctor I’ve ever seen. Where’s the long robe and glowy hands? You know, the things that doctors are known for?”
The artificial intelligence takeover of Trump’s Truth Social page previously featured another doctor-themed attack on left-leaning celebrities.
In July, the commander in chief posted an AI-created video claiming that O’Donnell, Whoopi Goldberg, John Leguizamo, Robert De Niro, and other celebs are suffering from TDS.
As his approval ratings hit record lows heading into the 2026 midterm elections, Trump will likely rely on recycled catchphrases and phony pictures to change the narrative from his sinking presidency.
