Celebrity Feuds
Trump: "Barbara Cannot Stand Rosie"

This is celebrity mudslinging at its finest!
Click to return to TMZ.com
Donald Trump continued his vicious attack on Rosie O'Donnell on Thursday by calling into local morning show "Good Day L.A.," and proclaiming that Barbara Walters hates Rosie as much as he does!

The Donald fired off a litany of insults, personally attacking the "View" co-host by calling her a "bully," "a loser," "stupid," and even compared her to a "clam."

Some of the Trump lowlights were:

Regarding "The View's" surge in ratings this year: "I bring it up because they talk about me. Ultimately, that show will fail because of Rosie," adding, "Barbara (Walters) made a mistake. She cannot stand Rosie O'Donnell."

On Rosie's intelligence: "She's not very smart. I think Rosie is stupid."

On Rosie's appearance: "If you can look as ugly as she looks ... I give her credit for having succeeding moderately."

On Rosie's sexuality: "I think she's very attracted to Miss USA. She probably wanted to put the crown on her head herself."

On, er, well, you figure it out: "She was like a little clam. A disgusting thought isn't it, when you compare Rosie to a clam?"

TMZ spoke to Walters' rep (who also reps Rosie), who says that Barbara had no comment and added that she is on vacation "in the middle of nowhere."

The blowup, which seems to have been brewing for years, exploded yesterday after Rosie attacked Trump on "The View," chastising him for acting as America's "moral authority" in his public pardon of Miss USA Tara Conner.

After the on-air rant, Rosie told "EXTRA" that Donald really didn't care about Conner's drug addiction, calling the whole thing a publicity stunt. "I just think he's a hot bag of wind," said O'Donnell.

This is war!

18. First the Fatboys break up, now this...

Trump did this with Martha Stewart and not Rosie. Not a good look for a man, I must say. He should be quiet about it already. Fat Rosie put his ass on blast on her blog last night; he is looking rather tacky. I wonder if Babwa is thinking she should have kept Starlet...probably not b/c Christmas wouldn't be this good.

Going to lunch...I hope someone will have fired Dick Cheney gun by the time I get back.

19. He is just trying to get publicity since "The Apprentice" is about to start again.

20. I think Rosie and Donald are both asstrouts.

The DONALD needs to realize he isnt the wealthiest man in the world; (Paris Latis's family is probably worth much more)

And Rosie should try Weight Watchers.

22. What miss teen and miss USA did while still ON DUTY was wrong and did not deserve a second chance (get them help all the help they need) but be fair and give the crown to the next person who deserves it.

What about those other ladies who work tremendously hard to keep up with their reputations ( I’m sure most of the girls come from small towns, THAT IS NO EXCUSE MR TRUMP). Yes they are human but they also vow to a contract and represent UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and FILL their DUTIES WITH INTEGRITY (not being whores).

Mr. trump you are WRONG ON THIS ONE! Respect Rosies view, for once she is right. Give the crown to anyone of the other runner ups thats why you have runner up one, two, three..... In situations exactly like this!

Rosie O'donell can pluck my nerves . I have nothing at all against Gay ppl but I do not like the obnoxious Banner . Banner as in Wearing a Banner that screams " I am Gay and I want to you to know " !!

As for Donald Trump ! I can not stand the Male chauvanist PIG !

This time I totally agree with Rosie ! Donald Trump is a no good pig ! and the name calling thing makes him look worse !!

24. Any chance of a "Bra and Panty" tickle fight...I'd watch.
These two are cut from the same bolt of cloth, honestly who cares what either of them says or thinks about ANYTHING!
Still, I think Mr. Rosie picked on the wrong fella this time, Trump is after all a streetfighter type of guy.
Come on...a Bar/ Panty and BOXER tickle fight?
Anyone...?

27. God, she's disgusting! She can't stand the fact that coming outta the closet is no longer the big deal that it once was, so she runs her fat mouth so she can stay in the news. I really wish she'd just go away....

28. Trump is an ass. Rosie's facts about him are dead on. He is pissed because she is right. He did cheat on his wives nad claim bankruptcy to get out of paying debts. He is able to throw nothing back at her, but his opinions. She isn't going to fight back on The View. It's not her show, she is an employee of ABC.

He keeps this going in the media, not her. He makes me sick. Go screw Ms. USA Don.

29. Boy there are alot of ignorant people posting on this site. They need to take a look at themselves before calling people cows and pigs and what not.

30. I cannot stand the Donald, he is so egotistical and will take credit for something at a drop of the hat. The ratings at the View are up b/c the View is much improved with Rosie. Rosie makes it interesting. I think that Rosies take on the whole situation is absolutely correct. Donald used the Miss USA thing to bring publicity to him and his upcoming season the Apprentice.

I admire Rosie for her honesty, she did not stoop and call him names, she said she didn't enjoy the Donald, an opinion I share. The Donald, however, has shown no class and has stooped to calling her names. He didn't or hasn't really addressed any of the issues that she raised. His businesses have enjoyed title 13 and 7 bankruptcy protection. He has used the bankruptcy courts several times to reorganze his business and to restructure his debt. When you restructure your debt your creditors usually agree to take far less money for the debt owed. I don't know how much he paid to his creditors, but you can be sure it was less than a dollar for dollar reimbursement.

Unfortunately for Rosie, she gave Trump plenty of press and time for him to rant and rave until his lagging and quite frankly boring reality show starts in January. Trump is smart in that he will use this "feud" to his advantage until his new season of the Apprentice starts.

I enjoy Rosie very much and if and when she decides to leave the View, and who knows it may be after this season, i will miss her very much.
