Former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell on “The Best People with Nicolle Wallace” Monday said even her therapist questioned why she was so devastated by President Donald Trump’s administration.

O’Donnell fled to Ireland to escape Trump’s second term, but continues to emotionally opine on the president. She said on the podcast that she could not comprehend why others did not share her emotions, including her therapist, who she said questioned her about them.

“When people say ‘I changed my mind,’ we have to say ‘Welcome back to reality. Let’s all be Americans together.’ Right? Because what’s happening is not only happening to Democrats,” O’Donnell told host Nicolle Wallace. “It’s happening to everyone. And when the Medicaid cuts go in, old people are going to start to die, to die.”

“What he’s done hasn’t even hit us yet. And if he’s not stopped now, we have lost our country,” she continued. “And I don’t know, Nicolle, how it is that some people cannot see it. My therapist said, ‘Why are you so upset?’ And I said to her, ‘Why are you not?'”

Wallace asserted she had experienced similar conversations.

“I have that conversation too,” she said. “Because the gas lighting that I think you’re alluding to — if you’re a thoughtful, informed person, you do stop and say, ‘Well maybe it is me.'”

Trump on July 4 signed a sweeping tax and spending package that projected over $1 trillion in savings from Medicaid reforms. Democrats framed the changes as an assault on the health care system, but they largely targeted a broadly exploited funding loophole and nonworking, able-bodied enrollees.

Since O’Donnell’s move to Ireland, Trump has threatened to revoke her citizenship. He wrote in a Sept. 3 Truth Social post that O’Donnell “is not a Great American” and that he believed she was “incapable of being” one.

Just days later, on “The Jim Acosta Show” on Sept. 5, she alleged Trump had engaged in deviance with deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, but cited some baseless claims. Attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Sept. 7 that he would be willing to assist in suing O’Donnell over her false claim that Trump paid $1 billion to  Epstein.
