Rosie O’Donnell is making amends with Melania Trump.
The Commack-raised comic apologized to the future first lady via social media on Thursday after retweeting a video on Nov. 21 speculating that Trump’s son Barron may have autism.
“I apologize to @melaniatrump — I was insensitive in my RT [retweet] — I am sorry for the pain I caused — it was not my intent — I am truly sorry,” O’Donnell, 54, tweeted.
After issuing her apology, the former “View” co-host then made her Twitter account private.
The YouTube user who posted the video also apologized on Thursday and removed the clip.
