Rosie O’Donnell Discusses Fleeing the Country After Trump Won: ‘It Was Time For Me and My Non-Binary Child to Leave’
Rosie O’Donnell fled the country in the days before President Donald Trump’s inauguration and joined CNN on Tuesday to discuss why.
Speaking to the network from her new home in Ireland, O’Donnell claimed that it was “time for me and my non-binary child to leave.”
“I have no regrets, not a day has gone by that I thought it was the wrong decision. I was welcomed with open arms. I knew after reading Project 2025 that if Trump got in, it was time for me and my non-binary child to leave the country,” the former talk show host told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown on The Situation Room.
O’Donnell has five adopted children, all now adults, except Clay, who is 12. He was adopted by O’Donnell and her ex-wife, Michelle Rounds, in 2013 as a newborn. When the couple divorced, Rounds attempted to get sole custody, but failed. She died by suicide in 2017.
“It’s been heartbreaking, I have to tell you. I knew that if i was in the United States and watched him destroy the country and the constitution and really pay no mind to any of the laws that the founders stood by and that our country stands for as a beacon of shining light and freedom for the rest of the world, that should he do what the Heritage Foundation said he was going to do in that Project 2025, that we were going to be in big trouble,” O’Donnell whined, “and it’s as bad as they promised and even a little bit worse and it’s been heartbreaking and personally very very sad to watch.”
JUST IN: Rosie O’Donnell says she fled the United States with her “non binary child” because of “Project 2025,” says “Project 2025” is even worse than she imagined.
Lmao.

Trump and O’Donnell have been at odds since 2006 when she grilled him about his money during an appearance on The View. It escalated again during the 2016 election when Trump took a jab at her during a debate.
Megyn Kelly, who was moderating, asked Trump about the times he has called women “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.”
Trump hilariously fired back, “Only Rosie O’Donnell,.”
