Rosie O’Donnell had a pointed question for President Donald Trump after his latest rally riff veered somewhere few politicians ever go.
Speaking with Jim Acosta on Wednesday’s episode of “The Jim Acosta Show,” the comedian tore into Trump’s repeated, admiring descriptions of Sen. Jon Husted’s (R-OH) body on the campaign trail, wondering aloud where the president’s fixation would land next.
Acosta played a clip of Trump telling a rally crowd he had been “studying” Husted.
“I’ve never studied the body of a man before. It’s not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course,” Trump said, before describing the Ohio Republican’s backside as “like a pile of muscle” and adding, “Man, his feet are big.”
Trump went on to say that tapping Husted on the shoulder “actually hurt my hand,” calling it “like a piece of steel.”
Acosta said Trump apparently believes “his best closing message in the final days of the campaign is talking about other dudes’ butts,” and jokingly asked whether the president might be “transitioning.”
“Could be. You never know with him,” O’Donnell replied. “What comes next? I wonder, Donald, what are you thinking about, mushroom man?”
O’Donnell then turned serious, suggesting the rambling remarks pointed to something deeper.
“The dementia is winning. Let’s just say that because there’s no way that any public figure would be speaking the way he does,” she said.
She also argued the comments revealed a double standard in how Trump talks about men and women, citing his “quiet, piggy” insult.
“This is like a misogynist beyond misogyny, right?” O’Donnell said. “Everything in a man he thinks is great and everything in a woman he thinks is horrible.”
The former talk show host, who moved to Ireland after Trump returned to the White House, recently wrapped a week guest-hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” which she closed with a parody of “Danny Boy” urging Trump to resign.
With Election Day less than two weeks away, O’Donnell said she believes voters have grown tired of the president’s antics.
“I think America has had enough,” she said. “We have had enough.”
She urged supporters to turn out in record numbers on Nov. 3, saying the goal should be to make the results “too big to rig.”
