As usual, Rosie O’Donnell has the best response to Donald Trump’s latest indictment
By Graham Gremore · 22 comments· Updated on January 26, 2024
You’ve probably heard by now that Donald Trump was indicted (again) yesterday.
The 2024 frontrunner for the GOP nomination for president was charged by a federal grand jury with four counts related to his failed efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The charges include three conspiracies: one to defraud the United States; another to obstruct an official government proceeding, the certification of the Electoral College vote; and a third to deprive people of a civil right, the right to have their votes counted. He was also slapped with a fourth charge of obstructing or attempting to obstruct an official proceeding.
This is now Trump’s third indictment just this year, with at least one more expected in the coming weeks related to his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state of Georgia.
For a lot of people, these indictments have become so commonplace that they barely even register on anyone’s radar anymore, despite the gravity of the situation. But there’s one person who remains absolutely gleeful everytime the one-term, twice-impeached, thrice-indicted ex-president gets his comeuppance: Rosie O’Donnell.
Shortly after news broke late yesterday afternoon, she took to TikTok to post yet another video about it.
“Indicted again,” she captioned the video, which featured a slideshow of her original Trump artwork set to Tina Turner’s song “I Can’t Stand The Rain” off her 1984 album Private Dancer.
When a follower asked, “Rosie, is this ur artwork? I luv it”, the 61-year-old funny lady responded in the affirmative.
O’Donnell and Trump’s beef dates back to her days as a co-host on The View when he called her “a real loser,” “fat,” and “a woman out of control” for criticizing then-Miss USA Tara Conner.
Since then, he’s publicly attacked her several other times, often unprovoked, including during the first Republican primary debate in 2015.
Trump’s latest arraignment is scheduled for Thursday in Washington, D.C. He is expected to plead not guilty, and has called the whole thing an “un-American witch hunt” and likened the investigation against him to Nazi Germany.
The four latest crimes that Trump has been charged with all carry possible prison sentences of five and 20 years which means that, if convicted, the 77-year-old could potentially spend the rest of his life behind bars.
As for O’Donnell, she continues living her best life at her beach house, hanging out with her kids and recording her weekly iHeartRadio podcast Onward with Rosie O’Donnell.

So glad to see Rosie speaking out about this psychopathic criminal Don the Con, who didn’t just try to “overturn the results of the 2020 election,” he staged a failed coup against the US government. He did so while HE ostensibly was still in office and tried to get his Vice President and an array of US citizens to help him do so. His goons even chanted that they wanted to “Hang” the Vice President if they found him. Don the Con also tried in various ways to use his power as head of the Executive Branch to manipulate various cabinet departments to retain power.
In other words, he committed treason. He was impeached for this, but the GQP protected him. Now the federal and state (Georgia, Michigan, etc.) judicial systems need to do what the law encourages them to do, which is to convict this horrible, fascist criminal and do what he has repeatedly screamed for others: “Lock him up”!
Let me get this straight (I’m not American, so maybe I’m missing something)… Trump has (more or less) been found guilty of sexual assault, is facing further defamation charges in relation to that assault, has been indicted on three conspiracy charges, some relating to inciting a riot and attempting to overthrow an election… and still Republicans have no problem with him being their candidate in 2024? Can that be right? I mean, it sounds like a far-fetched narrative about some fictitious tin-pot African dictatorship. And at this point he could actually be elected president and serve from a prison cell in Georgia? I think in future we’ll just refer to you as the FSA… Failed States of America.
Before your “FSA” is true, let’s see how the courts actually handle this. As you see, they are doing their job, so far. We will see what the jury says in each case. We used to believe that we had speedy justice, but that only applies to those of us who are not politicians or multimillionaires. And, of course, their justice is different than for the everyday citizen. I know that sounds unlike we were all brought up to
believe, but it is the truth in 2023. I like to think it can be corrected, but I highly doubt I will live to see it. I become more cynical every day.
He wasn’t found guilty of assault in a criminal court. He was found to have defamed E Jean Carroll. Although, anyone who doesn’t believe he’s a serial assaulter is a fool.
Don the Con in fact was found guilty both of sexual assault and defaming E. Jean Carroll by a jury in a civil suit, just this March, 2023.
In case you think I’m making this up: “A jury found Donald Trump liable Tuesday for sexually abusing advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996, awarding her $5 million in a judgment that could haunt the former president as he campaigns to regain the White House.” (From “Jury finds Trump liable for sexual abuse, awards accuser $5M,” Associated Press (AP), BY LARRY NEUMEISTER, JENNIFER PELTZ AND MICHAEL R. SISAK, Published 8:00 PM EDT, May 9, 2023.)
Trump will continue to deploy the Roy Cohn playbook. He’ll challenge, counter-sue, appeal, delay, obfuscate, etc. He’ll be dead before your creaky justice system (“speedy” LOL) ever gets any significant conviction.
Time for rose o’donnel to let it go. She’ll feel better and we won’t have to listen to her constant kvetching about Donald Trump that’s like a boken record, ENOUGH already! . Trump has been gone for almost 3 years and look what we’re stuck with at least until next year when hopefully by then people will have had their fill of open borders, crime, exploding homelessness, higher and higher taxes to pay for some worthless agenda that benefits nobody ( the bullet train to nowhere’s a good example) among others and vote for candidates regardless of their sexual orientation or party, (maybe try some conservative candidates for a change) who will work for the people. We’ve seen just what the liberals have done nothing and will continue doing little to nothing all while they flip the voters the middle finger behind their backs, give lip service and laugh all the way to the bank at the suckers who keep voting for them. Sadly they’ve destroyed the one time jewel of California, that was clean, relatively affordable by middle class wage earners and not just high earners, well run by people with common sense and fiscal prudence, San Francisco that’s now getting more and more untenable, expensive and in many places unliveable and 3rd world every day. Most people are tired of hearing the rant on something that’s irrelevant now. Time for the gay community to realize the liberals don’t give a rats ass about them, nor the Latinos, blacks and many other groups they always pander to as they look at these groups to pander to for votes and give little to nothing in return. There are many gay conservatives especially here in California where the liberals have done a damned fine job of turning this great golden state into one huge open air toilet and homeless encampment. and who’re tired of having to pay top dollar to deal with third world living conditions.
You’re type do nothing but bitch, moan and complain. You’re about as useful as a priest in a daycare.
And if this is true, “…Time for the gay community to realize the liberals don’t give a rats ass about them, nor the Latinos, blacks and many other groups they always pander to as they look at these groups to pander to for votes and give little to nothing in return…”
Then I suggest you and your ilk move to a nice RED state where they will, no doubtfully, welcome you with open arms.
lol you seem a bit upset! maybe if you just TRIED to make America great again you would feel better. Get a cheap red hat made in China by that dumbass second rate con man you look up to and you would feel better about all us liberals who believe in the REAL MERICA where ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL not just the straight white rich ones. lol you are so ridiculous looking trying to support this obvious criminal by all your whataboutism. LOL go away silly boy NONE of us are fooled by your obvious trollish. BYE BYE. Donny is going away for a long long time but hey if you want to waste your vote on him AGAIN please do as he is such a loser
LOL YOU want to talk about pathetic useless candidates look at every single one of the republicans who were too cowardly to stand up against trump even when he lost the last three elections for them. None of them had the balls to talk truth just suck up to that criminal. What could someone like TED CRUZ or MIKE PENCE have to offer with their wormlike behavior when attacked by trump. LOL they have nothing to offer look at MTG what a MORON. or George Santos – th3er is a winner. lol why not you try a decent candidate who cares about people and not tax brackets
YES, we see JUST how much the conservatives want to do for the gay community. Im seeing it right now in my state of Florida. No thanks I’ll stay with the party that. got us the rights your idiots are trying to strip from us. Never been a gop candidate who didnt eventually BETRAY all gay supporters to say nothing of POC who were suckered into voting for them. Look at the benefits that gop think slaves got
You’re babbling incoherently and talking about a country that doesn’t exist. Your criticisms of San Francisco may be valid fro your perspective but in general, the country is improving significantly from where Don the Con left it in 2020-21!

Love Rosie! I had no idea she was a visual artist. Her political artwork is really powerful!
Mister P
It won’t be “reform” camps they will be marching us into.
UnprodigalSon
Well, as an American with 2nd Amendment rights, I can guarantee I will not be marched into any hypothetical camp.

So, unprod, you think that you with your gun will be able to stand up to the fascist conservative government putting you in a concentration camp?
