At least, in this singular case, it doesn’t matter.
Even if the case were to take a couple years and SCOTUS blocks an initial injunction against such an action, Rosie is living in Ireland and it would give her an amazing lawsuit against the government.

If he did attempt to revoke Rosie’s citizenship, it would eventually be blocked by SCOTUS.
And even if SCOTUS blocked an initial injunction, allowing Trump to revoke while they deliberate on their final opinion, this wouldn’t matter for Rosie because she currently lives in Ireland.

He cannot. He has no idea what his legal rights are and just throws random authoritarian ideas at the wall.
There are rare cases that allow for the citizenship of a naturalized citizen (foreign born) to have their citizenship revoked. But this is exceedingly rare.
