Rosie O’Donnell moved to Ireland after Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, saying she wanted “equal rights” and a fresh start. A longtime Trump critic, she left the U.S. before his inauguration, citing the political climate. “It was time for a change,” she said. O’Donnell is applying for Irish citizenship through her grandparents and settling in with her daughter, Dakota. While some mocked her move, others supported her frustrations. Despite her departure, she still hopes for “positive change” in America but is focused on her new life in Ireland for now.
