In the ongoing (and increasingly surreal) feud between the U.S. commander-in-chief and comedian Rosie O’Donnell, Rosie may get the last laugh.
On Thursday night, O’Donnell changed her Twitter avatar to an image of her face edited onto a picture of White House chief strategist and former Breitbart chief Steve Bannon.
The cryptic gesture comes after O’Donnell hinted in an interview to NBC News on Tuesday that she’d be willing to parody Bannon on Saturday Night Live. She also tweeted “if called I will serve.”
O’Donnell didn’t immediately dispel the rumours, but retweeted another tweet that read, “A @Rosie picture is worth a thousand words.”
“Exactly,” she replied.

The photo was met with plenty of excitement online.

I don't know what about Saturday excites me more: going out with my girls & getting loose or @Rosie possibly playing Bannon on SNL? #dvrset

Rosie O'Donnell was born to play Steve Bannon
O’Donnell and U.S. President Donald Trump have a longstanding feud that precedes his career in politics. Trump called O’Donnell a “loser” after she criticized him on the View in 2006. In a Republican debate in August 2015, Trump was asked by moderator Megyn Kelly about comments he made describing some women as “fat pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs” and “disgusting animals.”
"Only Rosie O'Donnell," Trump responded.
O’Donnell’s new photo comes after Melissa McCarthy did a bombastic, no-holds-barred impression of White House press secretary Sean Spicer last week, which included her lifting the podium and ramming it into a reporter.
