Rosie O’Donnell renews claims about her long-running feud with President Donald Trump, saying Trump reacts to her with what she describes as a “PTSD response.” According to O’Donnell, their shared New York background explains part of the dynamic, and she portrays their decades-long conflict as driven by how she triggers an instinctive reaction in him. In one account, she characterizes their history as involving repeated personal clashes and suggests Trump’s response stems from earlier moments she compares to a childhood experience where someone told him he was “nothing.”
Both outlets frame the renewed remarks as sparking backlash, with criticism focused on O’Donnell’s characterization of Trump’s mental state and her interpretation of the president’s motivations. The coverage notes that the comments come as their dispute continues to draw attention, with O’Donnell using dramatic language to describe what she believes Trump feels when she appears or is mentioned. Neither source indicates that Trump directly responds to O’Donnell’s assertions in the reported material.
