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.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
