Rosie: "Trump Is Obsessed With Me"
Rosie O'Donnell kept up her verbal back-and-forth with Donald Trump on this Monday's episode of ABC's "The View."
Responding to Trump's most recent salvo against her, O'Donnell said, "Here's my official comment," and then made a face at the camera.
"This is going to be good for my stand up act, that's all I'm going to say," she added.
Of course, that's not all O'Donnell had to say. She wanted to explain why she thinks Trump keeps trashing her and calling her "fat."
"It's the way I look. He can't resist. I love when people say you're fat like you don't know," O'Donnell joked. "... It's always the first comment of someone who disagrees with you if you happen to be on the plus side."

O'Donnell said that Trump's comments have a far reaching effect, and have hurt her other plus-sized women.
"He wounded millions of women by saying that I was fat, you know?"
The verbal spat between the two celebrities started last month when O'Donnell expressed her disapproval of Trump's decision to allow Miss USA Tara Conner to keep her title after a bout of underage drinking.
Trump, who was on a publicity tour for the new season of "The Apprentice" for most of last week, didn't miss an opportunity to trash O'Donnell in several of his interviews. Even his wife, Melania and daughter Ivanka chimed in.
"Boy did I hit a nerve with that guy," said O'Donnell, "It was like Mt. Vesuvius erupting."
Trump, in a statement to The Associated Press, said O'Donnell had gotten it wrong.
"I used the word 'slob,' I used the word `degenerate' and I used the words 'not very smart.' The word 'fat' played a very small role, if any, in my description of her," he said.
Barbara Walters also spoke up on Monday, responding to Trump's claim that she was ready to fire O'Donnell from the show.
"Let me say definitively, everything that he said I said about her is totally untrue," she said.
The new season of the NBC reality show, "The Apprentice" premiered Sunday night.
