Rosie O’Donnell thanked Donald Trump for her return to television during her recent monologue on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." The former talk show host jokingly credited the president for her sudden fame and network TV return. O’Donnell, who hosted her own show from 1996-2002, appeared on the show as a guest host while Kimmel is on break.
She expressed gratitude for being re-famous and in the spotlight, attributing it to Trump's influence. The comedian referenced Trump's alleged hiding in a catering truck during an Iran threat, likening him to "President Oompa J. Loompa." O’Donnell playfully remarked that she "couldn’t have done it without you, sweetie," adding that Trump’s actions were responsible for her comeback just like he had with "fascism and the measles."
Later, during the show, she continued to mock Trump, calling him "Velveeto Corleone" when discussing the Strait of Hormuz and the possibility of the U.S. acquiring new land.
