LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actress Roseanne Barr, who celebrated her 72nd birthday on November 3, thanked former president Donald Trump and said that meeting the "twice elected President" was her "present."

Barr, known for the titular character in the sitcom 'Roseanne' is a hardcore Trump supporter

On the day of her birthday, Barr took to X to share a photo of her standing with Trump. She was wearing a black and white polka dot dress, and Trump was in his signature blue suit with a red tie and white dress shirt. The two were seen smiling ear to ear, posing in front of three US flags.

"Thank you for the birthday wishes! My present was getting to meet the twice elected President of the United States!" she wrote on X.



 

Roseanne Barr's Trump support and racial controversies

Barr started her career doing stand-up gigs in Colorado and rose to fame with the ABC sitcom 'Roseanne' which aired from 1988 to 1997. The show returned with its tenth season in 2018, becoming one of the highest-rated comedy telecasts in three and a half years.

However, the show got canceled the same year, reportedly due to a racist tweet Barr made about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.

Barr's conservative political ideology and unwavering support for Trump were well evident on several occasions.

In a June 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she explicitly stated her support for Trump in the 2016 presidential elections. She said, "I think we would be so lucky if Trump won. Because then it wouldn't be Hillary."

In 2018, she again defended her support to the former President in 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.'

According to NBC News, Trump criticized ABC for canceling 'Roseanne.'

Post the controversy, Barr's career was at stake. ABC also killed off her character from the series 'The Connors', a continuation of 'Roseanne.'

She returned to television five later with her new stand-up special, 'Roseanne Barr: Cancel This!' and a documentary about the actress 'Who Is Roseanne Barr?' Both premiered on Fox Nation.

Despite being ousted from the entertainment industry, Barr has no plans to hold back anymore.

Internet slams Roseanne Barr for calling Donald Trump 'twice elected' President

Barr's birthday post has annoyed many social media users. People criticized Barr for referring to Trump as the "twice elected" President of the United States.

Trump denying the 2020 presidential election result and the January 6 Capitol riots in 2021 is the harshest black mark on the country's democracy.

One user said, "Trump lost. If you still think he won, you are in need of some serious deprogramming."



 

Another one stated, "He wasn't elected twice. He only won one election."



 

A third user noted, "Twice elected means he can't run again Constitutionally speaking."



 

"Well if he was twice elected, obviously you understand that the 22nd Amendment makes him ineligible to run again," another user shared the same doubt.
