Comedian Rosie O’Donnell said she is “sleeping better” since moving to Ireland just days before President Trump’s inauguration in January.
O’Donnell, a longtime critic of Trump, announced earlier this month that she had moved to Ireland, citing U.S. politics as the reason for her relocation.
In a TikTok video posted Thursday, as highlighted by Mediaite, O’Donnell said she knew it would be difficult to live under Trump’s second administration, so she’s “very happy” and “grateful” that she chose to move.
“You know, I’m happy. Clay is happy. I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home, and I’m trying to find a home here in this beautiful country,” she said.
O’Donnell said the people of Ireland were “welcoming” and “loving.”
“It’s been pretty wonderful, I have to say,” she said. “The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming. And I’m very grateful.”
In an earlier video, O’Donnell had announced she left the U.S. with her 12-year-old child on Jan. 15.
“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,” she added.
A day after the announcement, her decision received some ridicule from Trump during his meeting with Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin at the White House.
A conservative commentator asked the Irish leader why he allowed O’Donnell to move to the country.
“Ireland is known for very happy, fun-loving people,” said Brian Glenn, a conservative commentator for the digital media company Real America’s Voice. “Why in the world would you let Rosie O’Donnell move to Ireland?”
“Thank you, I like that question,” Trump said as Martin nervously laughed while seated next to the president in the Oval Office. “Did you know you have Rosie O’Donnell? Do you know who she is?”
Before Martin could respond, Trump said, “You’re better off not knowing."
O'Donnell's ongoing conflict with Trump dates back to a fiery interview on ABC's "The View" in 2006, marked by years of exchanging insults. Trump in the past repeatedly referred to O’Donnell as a “loser” and a “pig,” and she has called him “mentally unstable.”
