Rosie O’Donnell’s anti-Tr*mp song is going viral & the White House is losing it

Rosie O’Donnell is taking her jester privilege extremely seriously. The longtime vocal critic of D*n*ld Tr*mp came back to the States to fill in for Jimmy Kimmel last week and managed to dominate the headlines—something we know her enemy “Mango Mussolini” ain’t gonna like.

Last month, O’Donnell hit back at Tr*mp through song, matching the tune of the Wizard of Oz ditty “If I Only Had a Brain” with lyrics calling out how “his approval rate is thirty” and “his diaper’s always dirty.”

Unfortunately, Rosie wasn’t allowed to sing that masterpiece on air. But during her final Kimmel stint this weekend, she harnessed the power of musical comedy to even greater effect with a brand-new anti-Tr*mp song, this time to the tune of the Irish folk song “Danny Boy.” To no one’s surprise, it’s an instant classic.

“Measles are back, inflation is a-swelling, you post all night, you’re sleeping while you work,” O’Donnell trilled as a PowerPoint of embarrassing DT moments played on the big screen. “Since we all know you’ll never be Obama, why not resign and make this country great again.”

As clapbacks go, it was historically savage. O’Donnell succinctly summed up the many humiliating failures of Tr*mp’s second term in song, pointing out his many missteps from the war in Iran to his continuing RFK Jr. foodborne illness disasters.

The best part?

It’s currently going viral.

The White House was quick to respond with its usual toothless, crude insults against the comedian and former talk show host.

“Rosie O’Donnell is a nasty woman and a total slob whose brain has been completely destroyed by Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a White House rep. told the press after her musical Kimmel moment.

But Rosie had a perfect rebuttal to that as well.

O’Donnell—whose career has spanned almost as long as Tr*mp’s, with far greater cultural impact—knows how to get her point across, even from overseas. Since leaving the country for Ireland after Tr*mp’s 2024 win, she’s been able to remain a thorn in Tr*mp’s side from a great distance.

After her Kimmel takeover proved a ratings bonanza, he’s not going to have an easy time laughing off O’Donnell’s success. According to Nielsen, O’Donnell “led the key adults 18–49 demo, drawing 218,000 viewers compared with 156,000 for Fallon.”

Online, the numbers were even bigger.

Meanwhile, the only press Tr*mp can get is bad press: after Jon Ossoff made a remark about Tr*mp wanting to “travel with Natalie [Harp],” stories about his brainwashed executive assistant have dominated the news cycle, and the president is not happy about it.

He’s bound to be even less happy about Rosie’s ratings-busting musical ending. But perhaps the most damning part of the whole drama was one quip O’Donnell managed to make about the continuing Epstein scandal after the show.

“I want to thank Jimmy Kimmel for asking me,” she said. “Times are strange and companies get afraid because [Tr*mp] sues everyone except for people who call him a pedo.” Oop!

Tr*mp is learning a FAFO lesson the gays have already learned countless times: don’t come for the lesbians unless you’re prepared to get royally, 100% owned.
