Addendum: If the Rosie O’Donnell reference was unclear, here’s article from The Hill:
President Trump on Saturday lashed out against comedian Rosie O’Donnell, calling her a “threat to humanity” and noting that he is “seriously considering” revoking her citizenship.
“Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” Trump wrote in a Saturday morning Truth Social post.
