Grump Trump Dumps on Plump

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.

62. GO DONALD!

Rosie started it. She's a Bi%ch!

I hope she gets clobbered as well as the ratings of her dumb show "V" something or another. What a joke. Bunch of ladies on there blabbing and saying stupid stuff, trying to get ratings without thinking about the consequences.

63. DONALD IS 100% RIGHT ABOUT ROSIE.
She attacks everyone and Barbara lets her......
SO that makes Barbara Walters just as REPULSIVE as Rosie.

I stopped watching the View when Rosie came on......
Rosie not only attacked Star Jones, she attacked Star's family as well.
She attacks everyone and gets away with it, I hope Donald slaps
a legel suit against her and ABC that will take them the next 10 years
to crawl out from under.

I think Rosie ran her mouth on the wrong person this time,
and its long overdue that someone puts her in her place.

Its a shame that a woman like Barbara Walters, who at one time was well
respected......now is just a PATHETIC JOKE.

What goes around comes around........
I canNOT wait until The View just GOES AWAY.
Besides its just turned into Rosie's View.

64. Who in the hell does that big, frumpy, arrogant, paunchy, pastie faced, son of a bitch, think he is, calling anyone else fat?

65. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Maybe it is high time we stop looking at these people as role models.

Neither speaks for me, neither represents me.

I'm ashamed I wasted this much time even reading about it.

69. Personally, I am amused that anyone with THAT HAIR STYLE could have the balls to attack someone else on personal appearance. Hey, Donald, you are rich... buy a freaking rug and give up the super-combover!!

70. Sit on it and Spin DONALD. Ur an asswhole. Tell it like it is Rosie.

71. Here's another example of a rich person not having any class. I'm surprised The Donald didn't call Rosie a "poopy-head".

72. Rosie on a talk show what should they talk about Kellog versus post cereal you wouldnt watch and you wouldnt be talking now

they bothe seem keen getting attention

It's about time some one mention that this 'paragon' of business has never worked under someone who would fire him. He's never had a real job..

Generally Men dont fare too well calling women fat .... and maybe someone will take Melania.. LIke she's with him for .....

73. Hail Rosie-brave enough to speak out. I am not a flaming feminist, simply a fellow female who is saddened by the way this man appears to throw away the women who bear his children for younger meat on the hoof, like used dixie cups. Only God knows his true intentions regarding his modeling, and Miss America business, but it could easily be viewed as the lecherous indulgence of a narcissistic and insensitive person who is still all too bedazzled with his festering flesh pod. Come on grow up Mr. Skeffington.

74. What a couple of childish, idiots! Who really cares. But more important, this is the example of supposedly "successful" people in our society? Nice job for the future entertainers and apprentices out there. Both of you, just crawl back into a hole somewhere and shut up!!!

75. I usually cannot stand Rosie, but, she scored tons of points with her hilarious mockery of that fat sexist nasty pig Donald Trump. He is the creepiest looking man alive. Can you imagine kissing those puffy soft fat lips of his? I just threw up a little in my throat.
