Actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell said President Donald Trump’s first term took a severe toll on her mental and physical health, leading her to overeat, overdrink, and leave the United States for Ireland for “self-preservation” following his November election win.
In an appearance Tuesday on The Chris Cuomo Project podcast, O’Donnell revealed that Trump’s presidency, particularly his second election victory, drove her to leave the country for her own well-being and for her autistic, nonbinary child.
“I was very, very depressed. I was overeating. I was overdrinking,” O’Donnell told Cuomo. “It hurt my heart that America believed the lies about him. And then it broke my heart to be in a business that creates and sells those lies for profit.”
