(WND News Center)—Onetime popular entertainer Rosie O’Donnell has become a one-person attack machine against President Donald Trump these days.
She “seems to spend much of her days in a constant rave about Trump, Republicans, and the demise of the United States from her new home in Ireland. That is fine and an exercise of free speech. However, it may have crossed the line into defamation in her latest posting,” explained constitutional expert Jonathan Turley in a commentary.
In fact, she said, “Did you think it a million years that they would reelect a man who orchestrated an insurrection against the government? They would reelect that guy with all the charges of sex abuse? — the adjudicated rapist…And then I just saw this thing today about all the cases he’s settled with children, children’s families, accusations about him, that he chose to settle. … When are we going to be able to go, ‘We’re grown up enough to understand that this kind of deviant, psychotic, mentally ill behavior goes on at the highest level sometimes, and no matter where it goes on, it is our duty to stop it.’”
Turley, whose expertise in the Constitution and the law has qualified him to advise Congress on those issues, even represent members in court, explained the issue.
“O’Donnell may have supplied the president with another defamation case if she cannot back up sensational claims made against the President to her 2.9 million TikTok followers. She states as a fact that the president is an ‘adjudicated rapist’ and settled child abuse cases.”
Turley noted about a year ago, O’Donnell called Trump a “rapist” and a “serial pedophile rapist.”
A previous case involving such allegations resulted in a jury refusing to “adjudicate” Trump a “rapist,” prompting a leftist judge to issue his own condemnation of Trump.
“Nevertheless, Trump was not legally ‘adjudicated’ to be a rapist,” the commentary said.
Further, “MSNBC and the show ‘Morning Joe,’ for example, quickly retracted a statement that Trump was a ‘rapist,’” he continued. “The second claim is that Trump settled with the ‘children’s families’ over abuse cases.”
O’Donnell wasn’t even “clear what the basis for this allegation is,” Turley said. “It is not clear if O’Donnell can produce support for the claim. If she cannot, it would certainly constitute ‘per se’ defamation.”
He said, “The common law has long recognized per se categories of defamation where damages are presumed and special damages need not be proven. These include: (1) disparaging a person’s professional character or standing; (2) alleging a person is unchaste; (3) alleging that a person has committed a criminal act or act of moral turpitude; (4) alleging a person has a sexual or loathsome disease; and (5) attacking a person’s business or professional reputation.”
A “couple of these categories” could be triggered by O’Donnell’s statements.
“That she said this to millions of followers only magnifies the general damages presumed in such cases. Unless O’Donnell can argue truth as a defense with credible support for such settlements, she may have just given Trump a golden opportunity to pursue his long-time critic.”

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:

- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
