Rosie O'Donnell has long been vocal about her disdain for President Donald Trump — and now, she's sounding off again in the wake of The Late Show's cancelation.
While CBS reportedly cited "financial reasons" for the decision, O'Donnell believes there's more to the story.
In a 10-minute TikTok video, she accused Trump of being "mentally incapacitated" and suffering from dementia.
"I think Americans should stand up and say, no way. You're not going to silence us," she declared. "You don't have the right to silence us. You never did. And you never will."
"What will take? He's gonna arrest every artist that disagrees with him and pretty much every artist does. Whether or not they're brave enough to say it is another thing," O'Donnell added.

Following the announcement, President Donald Trump, for his part, celebrated the cancelation of
The Late Show on Truth Social.
"I absolutely love that Colbert' got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings," he wrote. "I hear
Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!
Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show."
Stephen Colbert later shared his disappointment online, revealing he found out while on vacation.
"As someone who has always been a proud employee of this network, I am offended, and I don't know if anything will ever repair my trust in this company. But just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help," he said, referencing Paramount's $16 million settlement with Trump.

Following Rosie O'Donnell's comments, President Donald Trump fired back at the comedian — who currently resides in Ireland.
"Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!" he exclaimed.
