Trump Vs. Rosie: The War Continues

Rosie Makes Light Of Feud On Air; Trump Repeatedly Disses Her On L.A. Talk Show

(CBS)  Rosie O'Donnell restrained herself from bashing Donald Trump on "The View" this morning, following Trump's rant at O'Donnell after she slammed him for not dethroning troubled Miss USA Tara Conner.

Meanwhile, Trump said he is "certainly thinking really strongly" about filing a suit against "The View" co-host.

O'Donnell made light of the feud on Thursday's show. She pointed to her wife, Kelli, in the audience and said, "I was afraid to leave her home in case someone with a comb-over came and stole her from me," which prompted wild laughter.

She made short comments later, at which the audience laughed. "We'll be back with more 'hot topics,' " she said during a commercial break, "and not the ones you think I'm going to talk about."

After the broadcast, Trump phoned into "Good Day LA" and described O'Donnell as a "little clam" because she was tight lipped about the controversy on the show, and added that Barbara Walters "cannot stand" her co-host.

"(Rosie's) been a loser for a long time, and extremely unattractive woman both inside and out and, you know, you have to attack people when they attack you, especially when they attack you with lies … I never went bankrupt," he said. "I never went bankrupt. She said that I went bankrupt and I had many friends that did in the early '90s when the real estate market was collapsing. I never went bankrupt, she said I went bankrupt. She's got huge legal liability and she knows it."

As for why O'Donnell attacked him in the first place, Trump said, "I think she's very attracted to Miss USA, so I think she wanted to put the crown on her head herself."

Trump said the reason O'Donnell hardly mentioned the feud on the show Thursday was, "because I fight back," he said.

"Let me tell you something, Barbara Walters is a good friend of mine, she cannot stand Rosie O'Donnell," Trump said, adding that he won't appear on the ABC program again.

On Wednesday, O'Donnell took aim at Trump on the talk show after he held a press conference and announced that despite allegations of underage drinking, drug use and sexually explicit behavior, Conner would enter rehab and retain her crown.

"And there he is, hair looping, going: 'Everyone deserves a second chance and I'm gonna give her a second chance,' " she said. "He annoys me on a multitude of levels. He's the moral authority? Left the first wife, had an affair; left the second wife, had an affair; had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America?"

This comment is directed to Mr. Trump...I will not presume to know you or your motivation for such unkind remarks. As a man of your stature and position, why stoop to Rosie's level and dish the dirt with her? Everyone is entitled to an opinion; however your "fat ugly" remarks were way off base. We are all just humans, in all different sizes and shapes and we all have lives that help or hinder how we deal with certain situations. Just leave it be. My goodness, if some other comedian used you for fodder, I doubt you'd take it as a direct insult. Remember, imitation is the best reflection of admiration.

Rosie O'-(no one's opinion matters but mine:)
I admit to being a fan of Rosie's stand-up comedy and her movies. That said, she can be an annoying Irish lesbian with views that are way outside the scope of most working-class people...and I'm not talking about her choice of bed-partners.
*** are forever screaming out for acceptance and respect and most straight folks would like to give it to them but some of you are so Militant that we have to fight you just to hold our OWN ground!
Folks like Miss O'fat( yes, she is very fat) rub their sexuality into every thing they say and do and pity YOU if you don't like it. I'm trying very hard to be fair and wants he wants to do is *** and whine because Donald Trump gave a party girl a chance to clean up her act?
She needs to realize that gay people do not hold a monoply on common sense. I sense some gay jealousy going on here.
Quit having *** with your 'wife' long enough to remember you don't know everything and that another *** co-exists with you on this fair Planet Earth.
Mutual respect= acceptance. Approach me like a fellow human on the journey, not the enemy simply because I don't wear my sexuality on my sleeve.

I'm glad someone powerful is firing back at Rosie. She likes to dish it out, but doesn't like to take it.

I heard Trump trash Martha Stewart for no particular reason. He felt it neccesary to make nasty comments about her daughter. After rave reviews (and dedicated years of service), overnight Caroline became unworthy of praise and was fired. He popped up wherever he could promoting his bloodline who now sit with him in the boardroom. This week I watched him rant and rave at Rosie for having an opinion. Apparently comedians like Dave Letterman and Jay Leno can comment on his unattractive hair & adulterest ways for years without retrobution, but Rosie hit a nerve? For that he thought it a good thing to spew as many hatefull, nasty totally uncalled for comments concerning Rosie, Barbara Walters and The View which he referred to as Barbara's "crappy little show." He also thought it OK to betray personnal comments alledged to have been made to him from those he claimed to be long time friends? I hope those people feel "The gloves are off now 'buddy'; and speak of his betrayal's of private conversations, if they in fact took place. If you missed the end of Friday's show when the cast of Rent and The View surprised a 12 year old girl with Cystic Fybrosis (sp?) My heart is still bursting with pride for the Rosie O'Donnels, Barbara Walters and Martha Stewarts in this world. The Apprentice, I NEVER tuned in to see Trump - now I will never see another talented person rise to the top because I WILL NOT support that arrogant fool for even a moment by watching anything he is connected with.

The day they invited Ms O'Donnel to The View was the day I stopped watching. She is disgusting in her words and actions. She is one of those people who has done it all and never lets anyone finish their own story. She hates Christians as she stated on one of the shows.

I thought Barbara Walters had more common sense than to hire someone of that low caliber for the show, but my opinion of Barbara has definitely lowered due to her actions of NOT getting rid of Rosie!

To the Donald: I hope you kick Rosie's ***. As much as I respect both of you as successful individuals, Rosie was out of line as usual. Good god ya'll, grow up already. The only thing that bothered me about your comments were the "fat" remarks. I know she made fun of your hair....so what? That wasn't the issue. I have a grown daughter who is heavy but oh so intelligent (MFA and twice published) yet people think her unintelligent upon first glance. It has left scars but never stopped her from achieving her desires. Leave appearances out of it and you'll come out the better person...you of all people should know that, right?

I know the view program is talking about your views. Rosie O'Donnell's attack on how Mr. Donald Trump wears his hair isn't a view. Iam very disappointed how the producer's of the view allow her to still be on the program. Star Jones
she knows her contract is up and she wasn't going to be sign on. Star Jones decides she is going out on her terms. The following day she is gone booted off. How does Barbara Walter allow Rosie to be cruel to these celebrities on National t.v.
Kristie Alley, Kelly Ripa and now Donald Trump. I
was also disappointed when Hilary Clinton came out later on the show saying she had a hard time comming out she was laughing so hard. I guess its okay to laugh at someone elses expense. Hilary wants to represant our country, please.
Another view i have a hard time with is Joy Behar
on Mel Gibbons. Mel Gibbons at least had an excuse he was drunk ranting his view. The characters on the view are on National t.v. ranting there views. Joy Behar the next day is asking Rosie to do the hair thing, displaying she agrees with her.(one big Joke ha ha ha) How do I know this I owed a computer and read the news on this unbelievable behavior of the cast and crew of the cruel view. This show is missing class
