Rosie O'Donnell Urges 25th Amendment After Trump's AI Video Targets Critics

3 articles · Updated · The Daily Beast · Jul 3

Summary

  • Rosie O'Donnell called Donald Trump “quite ill” and urged use of the 25th Amendment after he posted an AI-generated video mocking critics with so-called Trump Derangement Syndrome.
  • The Truth Social clip cast Trump as “Dr. Trump” and used AI versions of O'Donnell, Robert De Niro, Julia Roberts, Whoopi Goldberg, John Leguizamo and Edward Norton describing their supposed recovery.
  • O'Donnell’s response escalated a feud that dates to 2006, when she criticized Trump on The View over his handling of a Miss USA controversy.
  • That clash remained a political talking point for years, including Trump’s 2015 debate retort to Megyn Kelly that the women he insulted included “only Rosie O'Donnell.”
