Former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell launched into a barrage of conspiracy-laced claims and personal jabs against President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

During a live episode of “The Jim Acosta Show,” O’Donnell mocked the president’s appearance. O’Donnell said the president’s ear somehow grew back and suggested that something about his health did not add up, though she provided no proof to support her claim.

“The magic ear grew back. The magic ear grew back. Imagine that. Wow, that’s the first time. I haven’t seen the documentary on that yet. Have you Jim?” O’Donnell  asked.

O’Donnell was possibly referring to the July 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pa., where Trump was struck in the ear during a campaign rally. Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks killed one attendee and injured others before law enforcement shot and killed him at the scene.

Jim Acosta did not support the insinuation.

“The hands thing is unreal because they don’t even try to hide it. They just use the makeup that they pick up at CBS. It doesn’t blend. It sort of stands out, and it goes back to this emperor has no clothes thing,” Acosta said. “Because the people who are closest to Trump do not have the guts, do not have the courage or even the self-respect to tell him the curtains don’t match the drapes.”

O’Donnell openly questioned the legitimacy of Trump’s reelection and said she struggles to accept the outcome.

“It was hard to watch America elect him again. It was hard. It’s hard to believe that it wasn’t somehow tampered with. It’s hard for me to,” O’Donnell said. “And I know people say ‘Well, that’s what they do on their side. You can’t say that.’ Well, when you saw the rallies that Kamala [Harris] was having and then you saw the rallies that he was having, I don’t understand how that happens. ”

Acosta said it was sad to see Trump back in charge, and then he imagined Kamala Harris winning in 2024.

“Alex Pretti and Renee Good would be alive right now,” Acosta said. “If Harris had been elected president. they’d be walking around living their lives, had America made a different choice. We would not have these detention camps that are like gulags popping up around, the kind where they’re putting little kids.”
