Rosie ODonnell escalated her long-running feud with President Donald Trump this week, declaring he appears very physically ill and doesnt look like hes long for this earth."
During a conversation with tech journalist Kara Swisher, ODonnell launched into a series of personal and political attacks on the presidents health, competence, and moral character. According to Breitbart, the comedienne used the interview to revive her role as a celebrity critic of the administration, leaning heavily on the kind of inflammatory rhetoric that has become commonplace on the left.
Hes falling asleep, hes very physically ill, he doesnt look like hes long for this earth, he shouldnt be the man in control of the nuclear codes, ODonnell claimed, offering no medical evidence to support her assertions. When Swisher asked whether President Trump might be losing support among his base, ODonnell agreed and went further, alleging that people have died because of him.
I think people are waking up. So many people have suffered and people have died because of him, said ODonnell, framing policy disagreements as matters of life and death in a way that has become routine in progressive media circles. She then urged Democrats to stand up to Trump at every opportunity, accusing the president of doing evil, horrific, inhumane things to everyone.
When Swisher noted that some Democrats have discussed simply ignoring Trump if they prevail in upcoming elections, ODonnell rejected that approach and insisted he must remain a constant target. We cant forget him because hes constantly doing evil horrific inhumane things to everyone and enriching himself in broad daylight. I dont understand why Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm, but these idiots are making billions of dollars and announcing it and no one is doing anything, she said, echoing a broader pattern in which celebrity activists substitute harsh invective for substantive debate over policy and constitutional limits on government power.
