Rosie O’Donnell is back in the spotlight — not for a movie role, a comedy set, or anything resembling entertainment — but for another unhinged rant about Donald Trump. This time, the former View co-host claims ABC is plotting to cancel the show to “appease” Trump and his White House. Yes, apparently the network is secretly run by Mar-a-Lago now. Forget shareholder reports or ad revenue — in Rosie’s world, TV executives are just following orders from the “orange messiah.”
The Latest Episode in the Trump–Rosie Soap Opera
Let’s not pretend this is a new rivalry. The Trump–Rosie feud is practically old enough to vote. From her early insults about his hair to his social media roast sessions, they’ve been taking jabs at each other for nearly two decades. But here’s the thing: Trump actually went on to run the country. Rosie? She ran… to Ireland. That’s right — she left the U.S. because she couldn’t handle life under Trump, and yet she still can’t quit talking about him.
When Ratings Reality Meets Liberal Denial
Here’s a reality check Rosie won’t post on TikTok: The View isn’t under “review” because Joy Behar made a snarky Trump comment. It’s because the show’s ratings have been circling the drain. Even ABC’s corporate overlords at Disney have reportedly told the ladies to cool it with the endless political rants. Why? Because angry, one-sided shouting isn’t as marketable as it used to be. Advertisers want eyeballs, not echo chambers.
Enter the Colbert Conspiracy
Of course, Rosie can’t stop at ABC. She’s also tying this to CBS’s recent cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which she calls “blackmail” by Trump. Never mind that CBS said it was a financial decision — in Rosie’s mind, it’s part of a coordinated media purge to silence her fellow anti-Trump celebrities. Apparently, asking late-night hosts and daytime panelists to be less insufferably partisan is the same as state censorship in her book.
Rosie’s ‘First They Came for Joy Behar’ Moment
In her TikTok rant, Rosie went full melodrama, paraphrasing the Holocaust poem “First they came…” as if Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg were political prisoners instead of millionaire TV hosts. She warned that this “isn’t about bias” but “about obedience” — because nothing says “oppression” like being asked to tone down your daily Trump-bashing on daytime television.
The View from Reality
What’s really going on is simple: The View costs a fortune to produce, and its audience is shrinking. That’s not a MAGA plot — that’s math. But instead of facing facts, Rosie’s spinning a fantasy where Trump is pulling the plug to silence “dangerous” truth-tellers. And by “dangerous,” she means women who spend an hour every weekday complaining about him. The irony? The more she rants, the more she proves why ABC might want to retool the show in the first place.
Rosie, Trump, and the Never-Ending Show
If ABC does cancel The View, Rosie will probably chalk it up as another authoritarian crackdown from Trump’s “dictatorship with good lighting.” In reality, it’ll be another case of the market doing what the market does — cutting dead weight. But hey, in Rosie’s mind, she’s still the hero in a political thriller that never ends. The rest of us? We’re just ready for the credits to roll.
