- Rosie O'Donnell returned to the United States to attend the Tony Awards ceremony.

- O'Donnell, who has a long-standing feud with Donald Trump, slammed the president for his "horrific" politics.

- She previously left the country and moved to Ireland during Trump's second term.

Rosie O'Donnell isn't backing down from her decades-long feud with Donald Trump, whom she labeled an "a--hole" and a "psychopath" upon temporarily returning to the United States to attend Sunday's Tony Awards ceremony.

Speaking to reporters ahead of the New York City event, the 64-year-old comedian and actress opened up about being back in her home country after moving to Ireland during Trump's second term.

"I think it’s horrific," she told* The Hollywood Reporter *(watch below) about the current state of American politics under the president.

She also called out "every time that he falls asleep and everyone pretends not to notice" and when Trump allegedly "lets go gas and everyone shrieks and in disgust and backs up" in public spaces — a topic that was also widely discussed on *The View* amid Trump's 2024 court battle.**

O'Donnell, who has feuded with Trump for years in a contentious dynamic that also saw the president publicly deride the star throughout the 2016 election cycle, then referenced a shocking development that saw *The Apprentice* host inform the public "that surprisingly the word 'dumb' has a 'b' at the end, and [that] most people don’t know that."

She continued, "I’m like, yeah, most people under [the age of] six."

In a separate red-carpet interview with *Variety* (also below), O'Donnell further criticized Trump as an "a--hole and a liar from day one" of his dealings in New York City, where she used to live.

O'Donnell alleged that Trump would "call up places and pretend to be his own publicist" and accused him of often being "broke."

"He is a conman, he is a narcissist, and he is a psychopath, if you ask me," O'Donnell said.

** has reached out to the White House for a response to O'Donnell's remarks about the president.

This is by far not the first time O'Donnell has criticized Trump. She has long criticized him in the press and on the air, including during her tenure as moderator on *The View* on two separate seasons of the daytime talk show.

The actress previously announced that she'd left the country amid Trump's second inauguration in 2025, having moved herself and her family to Ireland.

"It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well," O'Donnell explained of why she moved to Europe, noting that she'd potentially return "when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America."
