Rosie ODonnell ends Kimmel run with a ballad for Trump

Rosie O'Donnell concluded her week-long stint as guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live! by delivering a musical rebuke to President Donald Trump. Known for her consistent criticism of the commander-in-chief, O'Donnell has been making pointed remarks at the beginning of each nightly monologue. Her targets in recent days have included names like "Mango Mussolini," "President Oompa J. Loompa," and "President Petty Roosevelt."

On the final day of her hosting stint, O'Donnell expressed her sentiments in a creative way. To wrap up her monologue, she sang a parody of the traditional folk song "Danny Boy." This song, often linked to her adopted home of Ireland, proved to be a fitting choice for the occasion. The parody went something like this:

"Po' Donny Boy, your polls, your polls are falling,

Your reflecting pool is green as Mountain Dew,

Your wig's a mess, your ballroom is appalling,

And with Iran, you bit off more than you can chew."

However, the comedian didn't leave things hanging. She concluded with a message of hope:

"But there's a way to end this job,

It's time to use that stable genius brain,

Since we all know you'll never be Obama,

Why not resign and make this country great again?"
