Rosie O'Donnell Credits Trump for Re-Fame, Calls Him a 'Horrible Creature' on New Podcast

Summary
Rosie O'Donnell said on Amy Poehler's "Good Hang" podcast that Donald Trump made her "re-famous," telling her children to "hold on" because "mommy's re-famous."
Trump's attacks have helped her career, she said, adding that if he knew "how much he was helping my career and my life, he would shut up about me" because he is a "horrible creature."
The latest remarks extend a decades-long feud that intensified after Trump's 2024 election win, after which O'Donnell moved to Ireland and continued criticizing him in recent podcast and media appearances.
The White House has dismissed her as "obsessed," pointing to Trump's June 6 Truth Social post, while O'Donnell has argued their clash persists because they share New York roots and she reminds him of girls who challenged him.
Her renewed visibility comes as she is set to guest-host Jimmy Kimmel's show next week and has hinted at returning for "The View" 30th anniversary, though producer Brian Teta said no invitations have been sent.
