Does The Donald hate fat people?

Donald Trump
The thrice-married (to two models and a beauty queen), hair-challenged tycoon responded to Rosie O'Donnell's criticism of his handling of Miss USA's troubles -- by calling O'Donnell "fat little Rosie," a "fat slob," and saying "I'd like to take some money out of her fatass pockets," among other weight-directed insults. It's not the first time he's commented on size.

Just two months after current wife Melania gave birth to son Barron, the Donald was quick to point out her extra weight to the New York Post. Columnist Andrea Peyser described a visit to the family in their palatial Trump Tower pad: "I tell Melania she's lost her baby weight. Donald arrives just in time to correct me. 'She's almost lost all the baby weight,' he says, hanging his suit jacket on the crib and loosening his tie. 'Actually, Melania is probably the only woman I've ever known who can concentrate a 4-pound weight increase almost entirely on her cleavage.'" Four pounds.

In May of this year, a profanity-spewing Trump served as guest auctioneer at a swanky New York charity dinner. After one generous man bid $16,000 on a vacation to Costa Rica, Trump invited the portly gentleman onstage, crowing to the crowd when he got there, "You see, he wants to catch Montezuma's Revenge and lose 50 or 60 pounds!" How gracious.

And there's "The Apprentice", returning to NBC for a sixth season in January, for which Donald personally approves all candidates. Competing in the upcoming round, much as in the five previous, are 10 svelte females.

TMZ reached out to NAAFA (National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance) to see how they felt on the matter. Spokeswoman Peggy Howell said, "Rather than be the bigger man, Donald attacked Rosie's physical appearance by calling her fat. We in NAAFA are not offended by the use of the word 'fat' as a descriptor, but do find it offensive when one uses it as a weapon of personal attack." She also pointed out that "Both of these intelligent, successful people serve as role models and their behavior is inexcusable."

A spokeswoman for NBC was mum on Trump's comments.

31. It was just a matter of time when these two disgusting people would find each other. God! I'm glad they really dislike each other. Can you imagine if they liked each other and had children? Why are they on television anyway? Are there people out there that really like these guys?

32. Rosie is obnoxious but the situation with Donald and the drunk coke-sniffing Miss USA was ridiculous. I thought it was hilarious that Rosie ripped on him. I never liked Rosie but this situation made me a fan for life. Donald's just pissed off at fat people because he know's he's one. Can you imagine what his saggy pasty ass looks like naked? Just the thought of his shriveled, frightened balls is making me gag! You'd think with all his money he'd try to do something to make himself more attractive instead he continues to walk around looking like a generic tampon.

33. Donald has no room to talk!! He is UGLY, FAT, and his hair is f***ed up ( All the time) then he has nerve to point out what four pounds that his wife has to lose after SHE HAD A BABY!!! Donald needs to go away! With all that money he can get nutrisystem, hair transplant and try going for a face transplant.

Rosie needs to shut the f*** up and move on to another topic! its getting old already.

35. Trump said the same things about Martha Stewart. He attacked her about ratings and said personal mean things about her when she was his friend for years. He is the most unprofessional immature low class person. When you call some one fat it shows you are prejudiced against fat people. Well guess what Mr Trump? Every fat person who ever watched your show saw you in a new light. I don't think its Rosie he hates. I think Mr Trump hates women. Is it coinicdental both public fueds have been with women? Coward is the best word to describe you.

36. So Lindsay, you find it okay that Rosie has a drunk and obnoxious Danny DeVito sitting on her lap during the show and laughs the whole thing off but then criticizes Donald for giving someone else a second chance provided they seek help for a drinking problem? I think showing up for a show drunk from drinking the night before as a possible problem but Rosie didn't condemn him. I am yet to hear anyone mention the fact that her liberal buddy showed up for the show drunk and then to have the arrogance to ridicule Donald for giving someone else a second chance provided they get professional help. Do you suppose Rosie handed Danny a card for a local AA chapter? I don't think so. She took the fight to Donald and he's giving her both barrels. If someone would have done this to her earlier Kelly Ripa and the Chinese may not be offended at this time either!

37. Maybe she got tired of being out of the spot light and is now dishing on people for the attention. I liked her in "The league of their own" or whatever it was and in "Now and then". I don't remember much about her after that Rosie show. And now she is in the spot light. (Not in a good way though) I guess bad publicity is good publicity.

38. I like Rosie! And I like Donald too!! But they are being so petty and immature. I mean, come on, you know Donald is only doing this for publicity! The guy loves attention, just like Paris, he dwells on it!!!

39. The Donald really wanted to call her a ugly ass butch dyke but he had to bite his tongue. Shut up Rosie we are getting tired of YOU!!

40. This has nothing to do with her being a liberal, or gay, or fat-but some of you bigots are too ignorant to realize it. Talk about being narrow-minded...stop flinging stones at just 'liberals' or gay people. Conservative, straight people can fit that mold, too.
Rosie is annoying and does enjoy creating drama...but half of you wouldn't be on here if you didn't enjoy it. This is a gossip site. Ironic, ain't it?
They both need to just shut up. Rosie needs to attempt to hold on to her last 15 minutes cause it's almost up and Donald needs to watch himself before he sounds like an even bigger homophobe who hates fat people. The only skinny part of him is his damn wife.

42. Look who is talking! Has this ass-hole ever even looked in a mirror? He is no prize pig himself, not to mention that hair.

43. anyone who watched that "news conference" with donald chump and miss usa knew that was just a big publicity stunt. rosie just said what we all thought. and MISS USA should be a better roll model than danny devito. give me a F&*&%$ break on that one. danny was also funny on that show. he wasn't offensive to anyone. the chumpster insulted 60% of the demographic that will no longer watch his show. if anyone is a bully it's him, and his educated ass couldn't come up with anything other than "your fat". he might as well have said "your momma". he embarrassed himself, not to mentioned showed the world his "trophy wife's" nipple.

44. You know Rosie really hit a nerve on his bits. Ick! She pissed him off! GO Rosie! Go ROSIE!

Trump is a nasty old pig!

45. I am not a huge fan of either one of these guys...I expected the childish rant out of Rosie...but didn't Trump go to the Wharton School??? And "fat slob" comments are the best he can come up with? He says Tara will be an example to troubled people....how is he an example to Tara by criticizing people's appearance??....you can be an alleged coke head, but heaven forbid that you are overweight.....only in America kids, only in America.....
