Trump threatens Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship: "She is a Threat to Humanity"

President Trump threatened to strip comedian and talk show host Rosie O'Donnell of her U.S. citizenship on Saturday.Why it matters: The claims, which Trump made on Truth Social, represent a major escalation against his critics.What he's saying: "Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship," Trump said in the Truth Social post. "She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"It is unclear what grounds the Trump administration would use to target O'Donnell's citizenship. Reality check: The U.S. Constitution prevents a president from unilaterally removing the citizenship of those he disagrees with.The 14th Amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."Catch up quick: O'Donnell, a longtime Trump critic, accused the president in social media posts Saturday of being self-serving, dishonest and criminal.She also posted a TikTok video on Sunday from Dublin, Ireland blaming Trump for the deadly flash floods in Central Texas."And, you know, when the president guts all of the early warning systems and the weathering‑forecast abilities of the government, these are the results [...]," O'Donnell said of the flooding death toll that has since surpassed 100.Context: Experts told Axios that inaccurate forecasting models, an insufficient warning system, and poor timing were among the factors that contributed to the disaster in Texas.Neil Jacobs, Trump's choice to run the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said before a Senate panel on Wednesday there are ways to improve forecasting technology and communicating hazards.Neither the White House nor O'Donnell immediately responded to Axios' request for comment.Go deeper: Trump defends federal flood response in Texas visit161 people remain missing as Texas flood death toll surpasses 100What we know about Camp Mystic
