Rosie O'Donnell reveals she is applying for foreign citizenship as she travels to Australia after fleeing the USA amid feud with Trump
Rosie O'Donnell has arrived in Australia after fleeing the USA amid her war of words with Donald Trump.
The 63-year-old American comedian touched down in Sydney this week, where she has two live shows at the Sydney Opera House.
O'Donnell, who has been living in Ireland in 'self-imposed exile' since the start of the year in protest over America's political climate, revealed that she has no plans to return to the USA, and is seeking out Irish citizenship.
'I am applying and about to be approved for my Irish citizenship as my grandparents were from there and that's all you need,' she told the Daily Telegraph on Monday.
'It will be good to have my Irish citizenship, especially since Trump keeps threatening to take away mine.'

O'Donnell has dire predictions for the future of American politics.
'What's coming is fascism in the United States, pure and simple,' she told the publication.
'Christian white nationalism, and that's not democracy, and that's not a democratic republic, and you know, that's not who we are.'
She added: 'I feel that if we let them continue on, we are doomed as a democracy.'
It comes after O'Donnell revealed that even her therapist is growing tired of her bottomless hatred for Donald Trump.
She offered the insight to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace while wondering why more people do not have the same sense of urgency when it comes to the president.
'What he's done now hasn't even hit us yet,' O'Donnell said, pointing to the current political climate.
'And if he's not stopped now, we have lost our country.

'I don't know, Nicolle, how it is that some people cannot see it.
'My therapist said, "Why are you so upset?"
'And I said to her, "Why are you not?"'
In the nearly nine months since relocating to Ireland, the former View host has continued to speak out against the president.
Trump recently pondered the possibility of revoking her citizenship.
Rosie's feud with Trump, at this point, goes back more than a decade.
O'Donnell first criticised the former 'Apprentice' host during a 2006 episode of the ABC opinion show, where she slammed him for being unfaithful to his wives
Trump returned fire by calling O'Donnell 'a woman out of control' in an interview with People weeks later.
The feud continued into the Republican's first, whirlwind campaign, when Trump brought up O'Donnell during the Republican primary debates.

Fox host Megyn Kelly had been questioning him about his history of using derogatory terms to describe women, leading him to reply, 'Only [when it came to] Rosie O'Donnell.'
O'Donnell responded by tweeting, 'Try explaining that 2 ur kids'.
The two have been at odds since.
O'Donnell was The View's moderator from 2006 to 2007.
She returned for a second stint in 2014, before leaving again five months later. She blamed 'personal issues' at the time.
