Rosie O'Donnell Moves To Ireland
The former View host revealed that this had been in the works ever since it became a possibility that Trump could move back into the White House. She explained to The New York Times that her therapist actually encouraged her to have a plan in place in case he did win the election to ease her anxiety.
"I never thought he would win again, but I said, 'If he does, I'm going to move,' and my therapist said, 'Well, let's make a real plan," O'Donnell recalled. And when the results came in, she set it into motion.

"I'm happy for you and understand why you needed to go," another wrote. "I wish I could leave, too. I hope there will be a time when the light shines in the US again."
"I absolutely loved Ireland," another added. "I hope you find your peace there."
"Bravo Rosie," a final fan posted. "Leaving was the right thing to do for your safety. Who knows how far Trump and his pigs will go to silence people they don't like."
