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!

76. Trump is such a Pig! Can he seriously not act like an adult? He's an old slimy perv!

Not much a rosie fan but she did make me start tuning into the View again. Adding Rosie to the table was the best thing Babs has done for the show!

77. Trump told so many lies it shows his true character. The ratings on The View have gone up. How can he say it was because of him? He's the one who had falling ratings. They never called Danny Devito an alcoholic. She did not think it was a horrible thing that Trump gave Miss USA a second chance. It was that he made such a big deal out of it so that he looked like such a wonderful person. And not everybody has a rich daddy that can send him to the Warton School of Finance. Calling Rosie ugly? If that isn't calling the kettle black. He's an idiot and I'm done with the Apprentice.

78. Response to... "what a joke" First I would not refer to somebody that has a bigger set of nuts than John Holmes "a woman". The reason and I mean the only reason why Rosie is upset with Trump is that she can't get her hands on "Little Tara and Donald can and will....... Rosie why don't you wad up those size 24 "fruit of the looms" and shove them down your mouth; can't hurt your looks any.

80. She started it okay.. The contestant was a fault. That he forgave her was nice.. maybe not the right thing, but it is his business and if she doesn't like it fine. What the heck, he's suddenly at fault for everything in the whole world? Rosie finds fault like there is no tomorrow and he must die, leave the public eye in shame and sackcloth.. and starts mudslinging about his career and life.. but she can't be touched in a like manner because Trump is a man and she is a woman?

81. I think Donald Trump is starting to loose it. He just can't stand woman who outsmart him(need I say who he married?), he said the same about Angelina Jolie on Larry King live, he called her ugly, and called K-Fed smart guy. Just like John Stewart of the Daily Show said "would you take financial advice from this guy?" I think I'll pass. Go Rosie!

82. Trump has no class! Rosie was not out of line in anything she said. Yes, she did an impression and pointed out personal mistakes the man has made.... COMMON KNOWLEDGE and often crisitsed by many others. Trump coming out and calling her ugly, fat, stupid and a loser just goes to show he really isn't a self made man! A self made man would be able to control himself and if necessary release a DIGNIFIED response to accusations and critisisms. He's just a pompous, stuffed shirt who is probably ashamed of admitting he does everything to promote himself and his companies and really doesn't have an interest in the well being of others! Trump: Speak with dignity and class or shut the hell up!

83. We all did a great job getting OJ of the air…..lets protest and NOT WATCH ANY OF DONALD SHOWS! Show him that PRINCIPAL, INTEGRITY, SELF CONTROLE MEANS SOMETHING.

THOSE OTHER PAGEANT CONTESTANTS WORK HARD TO KEEP IT! DONALD JUST SHOVED ALL THE OTHER PAGEANT CONTESTANT DOWN THE DRAIN. WE KNOW THEY ALL HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING POSITIVE ON TV ABOUT THIS OR HE WILL FIRE THEM.

YOUR GO ROSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

86. I hate Trump myself but.......he is 100% right in everything he said about this thing on The View.
Remeber this "person" on The View is a known liar & makes nasty comments about others when she has done the EXACT thing she made the comments about for the other person.

Trash & garbage!! And, you wonder why I never have watch the View in it's 10 years except when there was a guest of interest to me.

88. The Donald attacked HER viciously?

Gee, I wasn't aware that it was out of line to respond to the Goodyear Blimp.

Oh, and while you're busy doing the fact-checking you ought to have done PRIOR to posting this fawning, Rosie-kissing drivel, you might want to include Rosie saying that Trump was a con man who defrauded his creditors.

Can you spell "D-E-F-A-M-A-T-I-O-N?"

O'Donut the Land Whale will be able to pretty soon which, by the way, will be the first word with more than two syllables that she'll know.

89. I almost peed my pants yesterday watching Rosie on the View! Rosie so often says things that many of us wish we could. She is our voice indeed Mr. Trump! Rosie has been successful because she is different and how dare you pretend to know Barbara Walters so well! I doubt Barbara would trust you with anything, especially her deepest feelings that she "hates Rose". Besides that Mr. Trump, Rose is the best thing that happened to The View as you will hear many say they never cared to watch it before she joined the "cast".
I know that I rarely ever watched the show and was quite excited to hear she was going to be on daytime t.v. again!

I have a feeling that you lost a friendship with Barbara Walters by making up your little statement that she can't stand Rosie. Barbara isn't that good of an actress, she's professional but doesn't pretend to like her. Perhaps she pretends to like you just so she doesn't get on the bad side of you. Rosie speaks her mind and doesn't care if she's on your side of the town! I would shup up while you might be ahead of the game. You have a new season starting and this show could be in the can if you say more.

WE LOVE YOU ROSIE!!!!!!!!
