Just two weeks into Donald Trump retaking the White House, the political left continues to erupt with daily meltdowns, with Rosie O’Donnell becoming the latest [1] high-profile personality to publicly lash out.
Her reaction comes amidst a wave of liberal outrage, bizarre behavior, and even unexpected overtures from long-time critics.
O’Donnell took to TikTok earlier this week to express her frustrations, particularly over a recent meeting between President-elect Trump and MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-hosts, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

The meeting marked a surprising turn for Scarborough and Brzezinski, who had spent the past year labeling Trump as “Hitler,” but now appear to be attempting to mend fences.
In her latest viral TikTok post, O’Donnell criticized Scarborough and Brzezinski for their meeting with Trump, calling the encounter a betrayal of their previous rhetoric.

O’Donnell’s emotional outburst showcased the ongoing divisions within the left over how to approach Trump’s presidency.
Her rant did not stop there. In a separate tirade, O’Donnell inaccurately claimed that Miami remains a Democratic stronghold, stating that it is “blue.”
Rosie O’Donnell is the most UNHINGED “celebrity” on social media.
The demons in her closest are going to be horrendous. Her own daughter came out about her years ago and no one listened.
She has every reason so be afraid of a Donal Trump presidency.

However, both President Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have flipped Miami in recent elections, solidifying Republican gains in the region. Her comments were widely criticized for ignoring recent political realities.
O’Donnell’s meltdown is the latest in a series of high-profile reactions to Trump’s return to power. Social media platforms have been flooded with emotional videos, including one from comedian Kathy Griffin, who tearfully vented her frustrations while eating a key lime pie.
Meanwhile, CNN panels have reportedly descended into chaos, and some progressive media personalities have announced plans to leave traditional platforms for alternative outlets like Bluesky.
On TikTok and Twitter, left-wing activists have launched campaigns such as “4B,” a movement promoting abstinence as a form of protest against Trump.
Critics have called the initiative performative and ineffective.
In addition to personal meltdowns, figures like O’Donnell have perpetuated misinformation about “Project 25,” the Trump administration’s comprehensive plan to streamline federal government operations and implement conservative reforms.
Despite repeated clarifications from Trump and his team, critics have continued to spread false claims about the initiative.
Adding to the intrigue, MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-hosts, long-standing Trump critics, recently met with the president-elect in what appears to be an effort to repair relations.
Joe Scarborough joked about the situation on-air, saying, “We could all be fired a year from now,” referencing the uncertainties surrounding MSNBC’s future amidst declining ratings and restructuring plans.
Rosie O’Donnell’s confusion over Miami’s political shift highlights the growing disconnect between liberal commentators and changing electoral trends.
Once a Democratic stronghold, Miami has shifted significantly toward the GOP under leaders like Trump and DeSantis, reflecting broader Republican gains across the country.
As Trump prepares for his inauguration, the divisions within the political left appear as pronounced as ever, with high-profile figures like O’Donnell embodying the frustrations and confusion of many liberals.
The meltdowns, missteps, and misinformation campaigns show no signs of slowing down.
