“Why are you moving Rosie O'Donnell to Ireland in the world?” the reporter asked. “I think she's going to lower your happiness.”
Before Martin could answer, Trump cried out, “It's true, I like that question. Do you know you have Rosie O'Donnell? Do you know who she is? You better not know.”

O'Donnell representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Trump made a comment after revealing that the comedian lives in Ireland and is in the process of applying for Irish citizenship.
“It was so great, I have to say,” the 62-year-old said in a video for Tiktok. “And the people were so loving, so kind and so welcoming, and I'm very grateful.”

During last year's election, Trump raised O'Donnell's name again when he told the crowd that the “scenery” was “very bad” at Al Smith's dinner in October, and when the showrunner told him “We need to bring Rosie O'Donnell back.”

“I miss the other kids,” she added five grown children. “I miss friends. I miss a lot about living at home. And I'm trying to find a home in this beautiful country. And when it's safe for all citizens to have equal rights in America, that's when we consider coming back.”
