Rosie ODonnell has revived her long-running feud with President Donald Trump, once again alleging that he is obsessed with her even as she admits her own therapist has urged her to curb her fixation on him.
Appearing on actress Sophia Bushs Work In Progress podcast, ODonnell used the platform to launch yet another tirade against the president, a pattern that has become a staple of her public persona, from social media to television appearances, according to Breitbart. The former daytime television personality framed her animus as righteous indignation, but her own account suggests a one-sided preoccupation that has persisted for years.
During the podcast, ODonnell ranted that Trump is an asshole liar, megalomaniac, no social skills, no empathy, no compassion. I would have told him to his face, and insisted he is obsessed with her. She further claimed that Trump grew up around tough gay Irish women and argued that this supposed background explains what she portrays as his peculiar affinity for her.
While President Trump has certainly responded to ODonnell by name on multiple occasions, the volume and frequency of her attacks far exceed his, underscoring who is truly keeping whom top of mind. By her own admission, the imbalance has become so severe that her therapist advised her, for the sake of her mental health, to think and talk less about the president.
ODonnell said she attempted to follow that professional advice twice, but confessed that both efforts collapsed within minutes. Rather than disengage, she has allowed Trump to occupy so much mental real estate that she even decamped to Ireland in an effort to move away from him, only to find that geographic distance did nothing to quiet her obsession.
From her self-imposed quasi-exile, ODonnell has continued to seek the spotlight by invoking Trumps name, recently telling CNNs Jake Tapper that the president was obsessed with her and repeating the same line in other media hits. This is hardly new: as far back as 2008, she declared on ABC, The guy, hes obsessed with me, obviously, a claim that, after more than a decade of one-sided vitriol, now raises more questions about her own fixation than about his.
