Rosie O’Donnell’s long-running feud with President Donald Trump flared up again after the Kennedy Center board voted to rename the iconic venue "The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts."
In a TikTok video shared with her 2.9 million followers, the comedian and former talk show host delivered a blistering rant from Ireland, where she now lives, unveiling a new nickname for Trump.
O’Donnell titled her video "Saturday Night Ramble," opening with reflections on her Christmas celebrations.

The monologue quickly pivoted to the subject of Trump as she refused to even say his name, repeatedly referring to him instead as "It."
"The Kennedy Center debacle. It has gone too far. It is seriously unwell. It needs to be removed from office. It, the nameless blob of negative energy. It," O’Donnell said.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.

The outburst marks another chapter in O’Donnell’s yearslong fixation on Trump, which has continued unabated since his time in the White House — even from thousands of miles away.
O’Donnell previously told The Washington Post she promised her therapist the Wednesday before Thanksgiving she would refrain from posting about Trump for two days. That promise fell apart within hours.

"Rosie O’Donnell clearly suffers from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, and it’s better for the entire country that she decided to move away," White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital at the time.
