The Don claimed that O'Donnell was "not in the best interests of our Great Country".
He said: "She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
It comes after longtime Trump critic O'Donnell discussed her decades-long conflict with Trump and her 2024 move to Ireland before Trump's inauguration in a HuffPost interview this month.
The 63-year-old said: "I look at America and I feel overwhelmingly depressed.
"I knew what [the Trump administration] was planning to do, because I read Project 2025."
She added: "I know what he's capable of. And I didn't want to put myself through another four years of him being in charge."

California farmworker dies after chaotic federal immigration raid, family says
A cannabis farmworker who was critically injured during a chaotic immigration raid by federal authorities in Southern California died Saturday, according to his family. Jaime Alanis Garcia's death came days after he fell roughly 30 feet during a raid by federal immigration authorities at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California, a city about 50 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Garcia's family told NBC Los Angeles that he broke his neck and skull in the fall and was placed on life support shortly afterward — until his wife could travel from Mexico to be by his side before he died. 'His wife and parents decided today to let him rest. He has passed away,' his niece said in a statement Saturday. His family acknowledged to NBC Los Angeles that Garcia would not have survived the past fews days had he not been connected to an assistive breathing machine. Neither the United Farm Workers nor the Department of Homeland Security immediately return a request for comment. Immigration officials said in a statement Friday that Garcia was not in federal custody when he fell. 'Although he was not being pursued by law enforcement, this individual climbed up to the roof of a green house and fell 30 feet,' Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. 'CBP immediately called a medivac to the scene to get him care as quickly as possible.' The raid drew hundreds of demonstrators, some of whom threw rock and bricks at cars belonging to federal agents. In response, federal agents deployed less-lethal weapons and tear gas at the protesters, while employees were being arrested inside the cannabis grow house. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post Friday night that he watched the protests 'in disbelief,' adding that immigration authorities should use 'whatever means is necessary' to arrest people who do not obey the law. The cannabis farm where Garcia worked was one of two Glass House properties federal officers raided Thursday. Roughly 200 people were arrested in the two operations, according DHS. The raids came more than a month after protests against similar operations in Los Angeles virtually shut down parts of the city and captured the nation's attention. In response, Trump took the rare step of deploying the National Guard to quell protesters.

The six shocking questions that remain about the Trump assassination attempt in Butler one year later
A year after a historic assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, there are still scores of questions left unanswered, including why Thomas Matthew Crooks shot the president-to-be. In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, which left Trump with a bloody ear, two men with life-altering injuries and the death of father and firefighter Corey Comperatore, investigations began into how such a deadly lapse could've occurred. The House of Representatives launched a task force to probe the shooting, but their report published late last year did not focus at all on Crooks or his motive, instead it highlighted the failures of the Secret Service which led to the disaster. The FBI similarly began a probe, but the agency has yet to deliver a public update on the case. The last press FBI press release on the matter came last August, nearly 11 months ago. On year on, America is still in the dark and left to wonder how such a brazen attack was so nearly able to kill the most identifiable U.S. politician. Here the Daily Mail breaks down the top questions that remain about Trump's Butler shooting. What was Thomas Matthew Crooks' motive? The FBI has still to determine why 20-year-old Crooks, a young man from the Pittsburgh suburbs decided to shoot the Republican. 'The FBI has not identified a motive for the shooter's actions, but we are working to determine the sequence of events and the shooter's movements prior to the shooting, collecting and reviewing evidence, conducting interviews, and following up on all leads,' the agency wrote in a press release on July 14, 2024. Since then, there has been no public update about Crooks' motive. When pressed on how little is known about the shooter during a May interview with Fox News' Bret Baier, FBI Director Kash Patel poured cold water on the host's question. 'I don't know that there's more to know, but you're going to know everything we know,' he responded, downplaying the existence of additional information on Crooks and his motivation. 'We take assassination attempts, especially of the president of the United States, extremely seriously,' Patel said in the interview. 'And we don't feel that the American people have been given the information they need on that. And we're digging through the files, and we're getting them a more robust picture of what happened and whether or not there were any connections.' Lawmakers have been irked by the lack of new information, too. 'I'm mostly unsatisfied,' Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Dave McCormick told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview. 'Motive is just one part of the many questions I think that we still have.' Crooks did not leave behind notes or social media posts explaining his decision to shoot at the president and rally attendees. Did Crooks have a handler or accomplice? Authorities have yet to state publicly whether they have determined if Crooks had any co-conspirators. 'While the investigation to date indicates the shooter acted alone, the FBI continues to conduct logical investigative activity to determine if there were any co-conspirators associated with this attack,' the FBI's July 14 release stated. Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who oversees the House's Task Force on Declassification of Government Secrets, wrote this week she still wonders who Crooks was talking to at the time of the shooting. 'Our president was nearly assassinated. We still don't know what happened to the shooter's burner phones. Who was he corresponding with? Did he have a handler?' she posted on X. 'After investigating the corrupt handling of the JFK assassination with my Task Force, there are far too many questions that still need answers about Trump's assassination attempt.' What was Crooks's mental condition at the time? Reports indicate that the 20-year-old's parents, Matthew and Mary Crooks, are licensed professional counselors. Just before the shooting occurred on July 13, the parents reportedly called authorities worrying about the whereabouts of their son. In their call they expressed concern about their son's wellbeing, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News in the days after the assassination attempt. In the year before Crooks shot Trump, his father noticed his son exhibiting strange behaviors, like talking to himself while waving his arms and dancing late into the evening, the New York Times reported. His father noted that mental health issues run in the family, and before the shooting Crooks had searched 'major depressive disorder' and 'depression crisis' online. Matthew and Mary Crooks have not spoken publicly about their son and what led to his decision to open fire. What was found on Crooks's phones? The FBI discovered the gunman had two phones at the time of the shooting, but exactly what is on those devices remains a mystery. In the days following the Butler shooting FBI agents briefed members of Congress on some of the contents of the devices. Federal agents found searches of President Donald Trump, former President Joe Biden and more on the shooter's devices. Reports indicate Crooks also looked up former FBI Director Chritopher Wray, information on the Republican and Democratic national conventions and the Oxford High School shooting, including a photograph of the shooter Ethan Crumbley on his phone. What happened to Crooks's body? A member of the House task force to investigate the Butler shooting, Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., a former sheriff, expressed dismay at how quickly the shooter's body was cremated. Some of his biggest concerns have centered on Crooks' autopsy and the swift release of his body to the family for cremation - just 10 days after he was shot dead by snipers. Kelly's report noted that the postmortem came up negative in tests for alcohol, illegal drugs and other controlled substances. But Higgins says he still wants to know why tests weren't carried out to test for prescription drugs in Crooks's system. 'It's reasonable to suspect some kind of psychotic break. There are many longstanding studies worldwide that connect the dots between antidepressants and anti-psychotic drugs and bizarre behaviors that develop after someone has started ingesting these drugs,' he told the Daily Mail earlier this year. 'My effort to examine Crooks' body on Monday, August 5, caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact… the FBI released the body for cremation 10 days after J13,' Higgins's independent report reveals. 'On J23, Crooks was gone. Nobody knew this until Monday, August 5, including the County Coroner, law enforcement, Sheriff, etc.' Why are federal agencies stonewalling? The last update from the FBI on the investigation into Crooks was on August, 28, 2024, according to records on their website's press release portal. The FBI did not respond to the Daily Mail's request for an update on the case. Speaking to Fox News earlier this year in a joint interview FBI Director Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino shared that there are four cases related to the Butler attack, noting that two of them are closed due to the individuals being deceased. 'Two of the investigations are obviously closed because the individuals are dead, but there's two live prosecutions,' Patel said. 'And so the we can't get ahead of the federal court case.' 'A lot of that information will come out in the federal court cases, but we have personally invested our time in making sure that we have looked at all the any possible international connections to terrorism and adversaries alike.' 'And we've both been down to Quantico. We've both done the laboratory testing, we've both seen the explosives analysis, we've both seen the firearm physically held, and we are all in on these investigations,' the FBI director shared. In the interview Bongino also doused hopes for an explosive development in the cases. 'I'm not going to tell people what they want to hear. I'm going to tell you the truth. And whether you, whether you like it or not, is up to you. If there was a big explosive there, there, right? Given my history as a secret service agent and my personal friendship as a director does with the President, give me one logical, sensible reason we would not have,' he disclosed. 'If you can think of one there, isn't there, isn't there in some of these cases, that there you're looking for is not there.'

Trump faces a revolt from his MAGA base over the Epstein files
TAMPA, Fla. — On the weekend President Donald Trump decided to pick his biggest political fight to date with the MAGA base he created in his own image, thousands of his adherents were gathered together. And all they wanted to talk about here at the Student Action Summit hosted by the conservative activist group Turning Point USA was the "Epstein files." 'I think that these people — and I don't know, for whatever reason, there could be reasons — but I don't think they're telling us the truth about Epstein,' podcaster Brandon Tatum told the assembled crowd at the Tampa Convention Center. 'I think that that that guy was involved in something nefarious that implicates a whole lot of people. And my guess is that the whole lot of people may have, may happen to be some of our allies and some people that we don't want to have a bad relationship with.' Trump pulled the rug out from his base Saturday evening when he released a lengthy social media post that completely dismissed the importance of the issue that has consumed the right for the past week — and longer. 'For years, it's Epstein, over and over again,' Trump posted on Truth Social, blaming the files on Democrats. 'Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden administration.' Trump's supporters have gone along with him through every scandal and policy shift. When he made a decision, his base backed him. But the Epstein issue is challenging this alliance like never before. This week, the Justice Department said it would not release any additional files related to the case of the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein died in 2019 while in custody, and a medical examiner ruled his death a suicide. He was facing sex trafficking and conspiracy charges. Attorney General Pam Bondi released a two-page memo saying that the department's review turned up no 'client list' of powerful men who allegedly participated in Epstein's schemes, and there was no 'credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals.' The memo enraged Trump supporters, who quickly turned on Bondi, a sentiment clearly felt at the Student Action Summit. For years, some top figures in the Trump administration had pushed unfounded theories about the Epstein files, and Bondi herself told Fox News in February that the Epstein client was " sitting on my desk right now." Trump also repeatedly said he would release the Epstein files. And in February, Bondi kept the issue alive by bringing right-wing influencers to the White House and giving them Epstein documents. But even that release wasn't enough, as the influencers — and even Bondi herself — insisted that the FBI had more documents that it wasn't sharing. There was no escaping the topic of the Epstein files this weekend in Tampa, with many attendees and speakers calling for Bondi to be fired — even as Trump sent the clear message that he wants his supporters to move on. 'It's not even about Pam Bondi to me. It's like, look, Trump, we elected you because you were supposed to be different,' said Sharon Allen, a 24-year-old attendee. 'So you have to prove to us you're different….you can fire her [Bondi], do whatever, but at the end of the day, Trump, you are president. We trusted you to get rid of these people and expose these people.' Former Florida state Rep. Anthony Sabatini, who was among Trump's biggest supporters when in the state Legislature and was in attendance at the event, called Trump's Truth Social post "out of touch." "Trump is losing his touch," Sabatini said. "Bad personnel are undermining him left and right. We need a full reset." Trump's message on Truth Social also defended Bondi. Summit attendees almost universally sided with FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, both of whom, NBC News and other outlets reported, were frustrated with Bondi's handling of the Epstein documents. Bongino and Patel used their considerable conservative media platforms prior to joining the Trump administration to amplify the idea that the Epstein case was part of a government-orchestrated cover-up to protect powerful political players. "What's going on with my 'boys' and, in some cases, 'gals?'" Trump wrote Saturday evening. "They are all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!" But it's not clear that Trump's post will be enough to quell the furor. On the main stage Friday night at the Student Action Summit Megyn Kelly, a high-profile conservative commentator and Trump supporter, asked crowd a simple question: Bondi or Bongino? 'Bongino!' the crowd screamed in unison Friday night. 'It's 7,000 to 0,' responded Charlie Kirk, prominent conservative activist and head of Turning Points USA, who was the master of ceremonies for the weekend. Trump's post came after a day of attempts by the White House to tamp down simmering rage from the base. Patel posted Saturday on X that rumors of him considering resignation were ' conspiracy theories. ' The White House also issued a statement Friday saying all the players involved continue to have Trump's support. 'President Trump has assembled a highly qualified and experienced law and order team dedicated to protecting Americans, holding criminals accountable, and delivering justice to victims,' White House spokesman Harrison Fields said. 'This work is being carried out seamlessly and with unity. Any attempt to sow division within this team is baseless and distracts from the real progress being made in restoring public safety and pursuing justice for all.' These attempts did little to lower the temperature in Tampa. 'Breaking news,' Steve Bannon, a vocal Trump supporter who is pushing for Bondi's removal, told a crowd at the summit. 'Kash Patel has notified that if Dan Bongino resigns because of Pam Bondi's…mishandling of the Epstein files that he, Kash Patel, will step down as director of the FBI to follow Dan.' Other prominent MAGA World influencers also continued to hammer the issue Saturday afternoon, even as the White House was trying to project unity. 'I will not rest until we go full Jan. 6 committee on the Epstein Files. Every single client involved should have an FBI agent at their door going after them the same way they went after the Jan. 6ers,' Jack Psobiec, a vocal Trump online supporter, told the conference Saturday afternoon. 'That's how we should go after everyone on the Epstein client list.'
