Rosie ODonnell calls out Mango Mussolini Trump on Kimmel

Rosie O'Donnell, a comedian and screen legend, took to the airwaves of Jimmy Kimmel Live! as the guest host this week, following in the footsteps of Tiffany Haddish, Ike Barinholtz, and Colman Domingo. Known for her vocal criticism of Donald Trump, O'Donnell did not hesitate to take shots at the president during her monologue, without directly naming him.

She revealed that she fled the U.S. for Ireland in 2025 following the election, citing Trump's presidency as the reason. O'Donnell referred to Trump as the "Mango Mussolini," a term she used to express her disdain for his leadership. Their feud predates the election, however, with O'Donnell calling Trump a "snake oil salesman" back in 2006 on The View.

Trump has consistently targeted O'Donnell, even going as far as threatening her U.S. citizenship in 2025. During her appearance on Monday, O'Donnell addressed the camera, hinting at the week ahead, stating, "We're in for a week. Want more film and TV news and reviews delivered straight to your inbox?
