Comedian and actress Rosie O'Donnell had a very blunt response to a TikTok user who accused her of being mean to former Republican President Donald Trump and saying she was not being "nice."

O'Donnell was criticized by a TikTok user by the name of Libby who took umbrage with O'Donnell's remark she “couldn’t be happier” about the fact Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate was searched by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which was hunting for classified documents Trump had spirited away from the Oval Office.

You can see O'Donnell's original video below.

After Libby's remark, O'Donnell responded with another video, in which she took Trump to task with this short and sweet response explaining just why she is no fan of Trump:

“I’m nice to you. I’m just not nice to Donald Trump, because he’s a traitor. That’s why.”

You can hear what she said in the video below.

O'Donnell and Trump have feuded for years.

In 2006, Trump decided not to fire a Miss USA contestant following revelations of underage drinking, drug use, and sexual activity, which prompted O'Donnell, who was a co-host on The View at the time, to criticize the decision.

At the time, O'Donnell described Trump as “not a self-made man” and referred to him as a “snake-oil salesman on Little House On The Prairie." Trump responded shortly afterward, calling her “a real loser” and “a woman out of control.”

In the following years, Trump took multiple opportunities to attack O'Donnell for her marriage, her old talk show, her health, and even her weight.

During his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump also denigrated O'Donnell at the first Republican presidential debate, telling Fox News host and debate moderator Megyn Kelly that he thinks "only" of O'Donnell when he's used language like “fat pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs” and “disgusting animals” to describe some women.

Susan Collins Dragged After GOP PAC Boosts Her Campaign In The Wrong Portland

On July 4, 1786, the city of Portland, Maine, was officially founded with its newly-minted name. Almost 60 years later in 1845, Maineiac Francis Pettygrove won a coin toss against Asa Lovejoy and named their soon-to-be incorporated city in Oregon Portland after the largest city in his home state of Maine.

Since then, Portland, Oregon, has swelled to a city of approximately 675,000 people while its namesake boasts a population of just 70,000. In 2026, when people hear Portland, they think of Oregon instead of the original city in Maine.

CNN Just Visited A Struggling MAGA Store—And It Spells Bad News For Trump

CNN correspondent Elle Reeve returned to Whitey Taylor's Trump Town USA in Boones Mill, Virginia, for the first time since visiting in 2023, and her segment shows that business for the Donald Trump-themed shop has collapsed as more MAGA followers break away from the president.

Reeve, in a segment for Anderson Cooper 360, reported that "things aren't what they used to be" for the store. She spoke with Taylor, who revealed that the store, which used to make $12,000 to $15,000 in sales per day now only makes between $1,500 - $2,000 per day. On occasion, Taylor will hit $3,000 in sales if he's lucky.

JD Vance Blasted After Sharing His Absolutely Mind-Numbing Definition Of 'Socialism'

According to Merriam-Webster, socialism broadly refers to economic and political systems centered on collective or government ownership and control of the means of production.

Not exactly a concept requiring a Ph.D. to explain. One would think Vice President JD Vance, a Yale Law School graduate whose party practically uses the word as punctuation, could manage a working definition.
