According to an account detailing Rosie O’Donnell’s long-running hostility toward Donald Trump, the former TV talk show host has been unable to follow her therapist’s recommendation to “detach” from her fixation on the former president, even briefly. The report states that O’Donnell acknowledged her therapist had urged her, during a session held the day before Thanksgiving, to direct her attention to something other than Trump for two days. By O’Donnell’s own admission, as relayed in this account, she was only able to manage a “few hours” before renewing her focus on him.
The report says that O’Donnell told the Washington Post she became angry again after Trump made a remark to Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey aboard Air Force One, telling her to be “quiet, piggy.” O’Donnell reportedly reacted on social media by accusing Trump of a “verbal rape” of the reporter.
Trump also has a long history of making disparaging remarks about O’Donnell’s appearance.
According to the account, O’Donnell’s therapist, Jennifer Kopetic, urged her to “detach” and “disconnect,” advice the former View host reportedly attempted to follow a second time without success.
O’Donnell’s intense fixation on Trump has caused concern among friends and family about her wellbeing. It further states that she moved to Dublin, Ireland, in January in an effort to put physical distance between herself and Trump, and that she has expressed interest in seeking Irish citizenship.
The account additionally alleges that O’Donnell’s reactions to Trump have influenced her adopted “non-binary” child, who is described as believing that Trump was personally responsible for their move to Ireland. These assertions are reported within the supplied material and have not been independently corroborated.
A term often used in political discussions surrounding reactions to Donald Trump is “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a phrase generally used to describe extreme or irrational emotional responses to the president. It is typically invoked to suggest that some Trump critics become so preoccupied with him—whether out of fear, anger, or contempt—that their reactions appear disproportionate or obsessive. While the term is political rather than clinical, it has become a common way for commentators to describe situations where opposition to Trump seems to consume individuals’ attention or overwhelm their ability to disengage.
