A video posted on Truth Social showed the president dressed as a doctor discussing a condition labeled Trump Derangement Syndrome. The clip included altered footage of several public figures describing symptoms such as anger and sleep loss, with the president recommending avoidance of certain news sources, daily prayer, and consumption of Diet Coke.
Rosie O'Donnell, 64, responded to the video in comments to The Guardian. She stated the president is ill and suggested use of constitutional provisions for removal from office.
Background of the exchange O'Donnell relocated to Ireland last year and applied for citizenship after the president's return to office. The two have exchanged public remarks since a 2006 episode of ABC's The View, when O'Donnell criticized the president's handling of a Miss USA title decision.
The president has previously described outspoken critics as suffering from the same condition and referred to it as a disease during a May event on maternal health initiatives.
