Rosie O'Donnell used a CNN appearance on 10 July to make an extraordinary claim about Donald Trump's future, telling host Jake Tapper she does not believe the US president will live to see the 2028 election, a remark that has quickly circulated online and reignited scrutiny of the pair's long-running feud.
The comment came during an interview on The Lead with Jake Tapper, when O'Donnell was asked whether she would consider returning to the United States once Trump leaves office in January 2029. 'Well, I don't think, Jake, that he is going to survive that long,' she said, without offering medical evidence to support the claim.
