Rosie O’Donnell Slams Trump with a Controversial Dig

July 27, 2026

Rosie O’Donnell lands the final laugh with a savage retort aimed at Donald Trump.

The former talk-show host and the president have clashed for two decades, and neither time nor age has managed to soften their mutual contempt for one another.

O’Donnell answered Trump’s latest insult with a dirty, below-the-belt barb aimed at one of his most embarrassing secrets.

O’Donnell’s witty jingle tearing apart Trump’s second term is turning into a viral clip on TikTok.

Trump, 80, headlined the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner redo on July 24, yet he still ended up as the night’s biggest joke.

The comedian, 64, wasn’t present among the press and the administration, but she somehow became a punchline in Trump’s script.

In a TikTok posted on July 26, O’Donnell admitted to watching a recap of the event, which left her feeling inspired.

“I wrote this little song, a parody from ‘The Wizard of Oz’ for our loving president,” she said, and then began to sing to the tune of the Scarecrow’s musical number “If I Only Had a Brain.”

The lyrics read:

“His approval rating is 30, his diaper’s always dirty, I think the guy’s insane/ He ain’t no stable genius, he’s got a teeny tiny… but he doesn’t have a brain/ The reflecting pool is green, his reasons were obscene, it’s him we all do blame/ He grew up magic ears, stole billions in a year cause he doesn’t have a brain/ Oh I can’t tell you why some people think he’s smart, all he does is lie and cheat and steal and… and he’s asleep when meetings start/ He still dreams that he is Putin while our country he is lootin’, on humanity a stain/ All he does is cause us drama cause he’ll never be Obama cause he doesn’t have a brain.”

The video concluded with her saying, “I hope you enjoy that, Donald. It’s for you.”

Responses in the comment section included, “Rosie, that was PERFECT Hope he hears it. You’ll know if he does if he starts attacking you again. If so, wear it as a badge of courage.”

A second viewer wrote, “Perfect! And you are still in his head. I snort laughed when he mentioned you during his speech last night. Live your best life!”

Other responses read, “He’s going to throw such a temper tantrum.”

Trump supporters quipped, “I can’t wait until he sees this.” Another argued, “TDS at its epitome Her envy & jealousy show the world how petty & small she really is And totally unfunny.”

Not everyone agreed.

O’Donnell would say Trump is the “small,” as noted in an Instagram post after the dinner. She recapped the president’s speech, saying it confirms “what we all know.”

The post described Trump as “a small, mean and demented man. A sad excuse for a president and a piss poor reflection of the morons who support him.”
