American expat Rosie O’Donnell claims President Donald Trump rigged the 2024 election.
While there’s no evidence that happened — just as there’s no reason to believe Trump’s ongoing claim that he was cheated in the 2020 election — O’Donnell alleges her old nemesis is the best witness to his own crime.
“If he admits one more time that the election was rigged… I mean why is he allowed to admit this over and over again and no one does anything about it?” the A League Of Their Own star asked fans on TikTok Monday.
O’Donnell didn’t offer examples of the president’s alleged confessions, but numerous statements made by Trump have prompted critics to reach the same conclusion. The president’s odd relationship with syntax and pronouns can lead to confusion.
“They rigged the election and I became president, so that was a good thing,” he said in March.
Trump further fueled rumours of impropriety by thanking GOP megadonor Elon Musk for his mastery of “vote-counting computers” after the 2024 election.
The president frequently claims he won the election in an electoral landslide, despite defeating Democrat Kamala Harris by only 1.5% of the popular vote. There’ve been no serious challenges to his victory, but O’Donnell is nevertheless crying foul.
“It’s very obvious that it was [rigged] and he keeps saying it because he has some form of dementia or something that he can’t help but tell on himself for what he’s done, as he has always,” she said. “It’s very, very overwhelming.”
O’Donnell famously fled the United States and moved to Ireland just days before Trump began his second term in January.
“When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back,” the 62-year-old Long Island native said on TikTok in March. “It’s been heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know.” – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
