Rosie O’Donnell, who has relocated to Ireland following President Donald Trump’s return to office, shared in a recent interview that even her therapist has questioned her intense focus on the president.

Speaking with MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, O’Donnell admitted that her therapist asked why she remains so angry and what continues to fuel her emotions years after Trump reentered politics and the White House.

“My therapist said, ‘Why are you so upset?’ And I said to her, ‘Why are you not?’” O’Donnell recounted.

The discussion highlighted O’Donnell’s longstanding opposition to Trump, which she has frequently voiced publicly.

Wallace, who interviewed O’Donnell during her MSNBC program, listened and nodded as the actress and comedian described her frustrations.

O’Donnell also claimed during the segment that Trump’s policies would harm American seniors by cutting Medicaid.

She appeared to conflate Medicaid with Medicare, a distinction that has been central to recent political debates.

The administration’s proposals have included work requirements for able-bodied adults and limits on coverage for individuals in the country illegally, but not reductions to Medicare benefits.

“What he’s done hasn’t even hit us yet. And if he’s not stopped now, we have lost our country,” O’Donnell said.

“And I don’t know, Nicolle, how it is that some people cannot see it.”

O’Donnell has long been a vocal critic of Trump, and their public feud dates back nearly two decades.

Trump publicly criticized O’Donnell in 2006 during a series of high-profile exchanges, comments that have frequently resurfaced during O’Donnell’s subsequent criticisms of him.

Her decision to leave the United States for Ireland followed Trump’s election victory in 2024, a move she has acknowledged was motivated by political frustration.

In the MSNBC interview, she framed her relocation and public statements as responses to what she views as an erosion of American values under Trump’s leadership.

While O’Donnell remains outspoken, the interview also revealed how her positions are being received privately.

Her therapist’s questions, as she described them, reflected skepticism about the intensity of her anger.

The exchange with Wallace comes amid broader discussions in Democratic circles about how to respond to Trump’s second term.

Figures in entertainment and media have continued to use their platforms to oppose the administration, but polling shows limited impact on voter attitudes, particularly as debates over federal spending and immigration dominate Washington.

She portrayed her therapist’s question as emblematic of what she sees as a failure to grasp the urgency of the political moment.

Despite those concerns, O’Donnell’s comments illustrate both the durability of her opposition and the challenges Democrats face in framing their criticism in ways that resonate beyond core supporters.

The interview adds to the record of celebrities who have taken strong stands against Trump while struggling to connect those views with broader public sentiment.
