Even Rosie O’Donnell’s Therapist Wonders Why Trump Makes Her ‘So Upset’

 

Rosie O’Donnell’s hatred of President Donald Trump is so potent and glaring that even her therapist is confused by it.

The “League of Their Own” actress revealed as much during an interview on MSNBC star Nicolle Wallace’s podcast, dubbed The Best People, on Monday. O’Donnell blasted Trump as a “madman” who poses a threat to every American — and said she does not understand how more people are not on the same page as her.

“I don’t know, Nicolle, how it is that some people cannot see it,” O’Donnell said. “My therapist said, ‘Why are you so upset?’ And I said to her, why are you not?

Wallace agreed, saying “Yeah, I have that conversation too.”

O’Donnell, a moment earlier, said she believes most Americans are oblivious to the harm Trump is causing, like cutting Medicaid funding.

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

O’Donnell did not expand on what she meant by stopping the president.

Of course, the Trump-O’Donnell rivalry goes back years at this point.

One famous example: Trump, when Megyn Kelly confronted him about calling women he does not like “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals” at a Republican debate in 2015, said he was “only” referring to O’Donnell — a quip that immediately riled up the crowd.

And O’Donnell ditched the U.S. earlier this year and moved to Ireland right as Trump was starting his second term. She said she would only consider moving back to the States “When you know it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America.”

O’Donnell, during the podcast on Monday, said the move has been good for her “sanity.” The actress said she has only met two people who are Trump fans in Ireland, which is a country that does not have a “maniacal, cult-like fascination” with the president, she added.

Americans, meanwhile, have been bamboozled by the media and Trump’s years in the pop culture spotlight, O’Donnell said.

“Thanks to Mark Burnett’s ‘Apprentice’ show that lied to the American people, that sold fiction as fact … people were confused and lied to. And then they listened to Fox News and they were more lost,” she said.

Wallace tried to give O’Donnell a reason to be optimistic; she said at one point in the podcast, “The truth is, he’s more unpopular now than he’s ever been.” RealClearPolitics, which tracks and aggregates all major polls, pegs Trump’s approval rating at 45.4 percent — nearing a second-term low of 45.1 percent.
