Trump Vs. Rosie: The War Continues
(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."
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.

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."![]()

"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?"
