Dublin, Ireland – Rosie O’Donnell recently blamed President Donald Trump for the cancellation of fellow comedian Stephen Colbert’s late-night show.
In a series of TikTok videos shared on Friday and Saturday, O’Donnell ripped into Trump, alleging the “horrible” president is mentally and physically ill, and dementia has him “spiraling out of control.”
“How long do all of the voices against this horrific administration have in terms of their careers and ability to make money?” O’Donnell lamented.
Her remarks come after Colbert announced earlier this week that his late-night show will come to an end in 2026.

CBS, the network that hosts the show, has claimed that the decision was made due to financial reasons.
Despite this, critics have speculated that Colbert – a frequent critic of Trump’s – is being axed by CBS’ parent company Paramount as they seek to close an $8 billion merger with the entertainment company Skydance, which requires approval from the president’s administration.
Trump recently gloated about the cancellation, noting that Jimmy Kimmel, another late-night comedian, will be next.
O’Donnell suggested that “Americans should stand up and say, ‘No way – You’re not going to silence us. You don’t have the right to silence us. You never did. And you never will.'”
“We, the people, have the right to speak up against atrocities, which are happening on a daily basis,” O’Donnell argued.
“What will it take, America? He’s gonna arrest every artist that disagrees with him, and pretty much every artist does. Whether or not they’re brave enough to say it is another thing.”
O’Donnell has been a long-time, outspoken critic of Trumps, and shortly after he won re-election in January, she moved from the US to Ireland in protest.
Earlier this month, Trump randomly reignited their 19-year public feud by sharing a Truth Social post claiming he was giving “serious consideration” to removing the 63-year-old star’s US citizenship, claiming that she “is not in the best interests of our Great Country” and is a “threat to humanity.”
In a recent interview, O’Donnell explained that Trump doesn’t like her because they grew up in the same area in New York City, and “I remind him of all the kids at school who never liked him.”
