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!

93. Trump needs to have his ass kicked in the worst possible way...and what better way for a woman to do the job! He treats women with derision...look at his past failed marriages for that fact! He thinks he is above it all, and that his money will buy him class. First of all, have you seen the inside of his apartment? Could there be a little bit more gold leaf on everything? It just goes to show that money can't buy you taste. Secondly, he is one of the most self serving, egotistical, self promoting a**holes out there, as every conversation he has turns back to himself, what he thinks, how he feels, what he thinks the world should think about him, etc. He is a loud-mouthed, ego-maniacal, windbag that feels everyone is there to hang on his every word. Guess what fat boy - no one cares! And you might want to spend a few bucks and go see a professional hair-dresser...that sad, sad comb-over has got to go! Thirdly, he needs to lay off the personal attacks on people. He did it to Caroline who worked for him, he did it to Martha Stewart because she disagreed with him, and now he is trying it on Rosie, going as far as to try and put words into Barbara Walters mouth. I just hope she has the backbone to stand up to this pompus ass and tell him to piss off as well!

94. I have enjoyed the View more since Rosie joined the group. Atleast they talk about real issues. Sorry Donald nothing against you, it was funny but I guess at your expense. Linda

95. Mr. Trump, do you have some of your employees on staff busy today posting on TMZ? Quite silly indeed! The only reason someone would be posting in the positive for Mr. Trump would be because they are being paid to do so!

As far as Rosie being attractive, I'm sure she could care less if anyone but her significant other thinks so.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh........Mr. Trump......those morals you have!

96. Well there is a shift in NY, Donald your FIRED there are 3 new women in town, Martha, Rosie, and Hilary. Which you have had a problem with all, I think your very threatend and you DO NOT LIKE SMART EYE CANDY you like BARBIE. He who calls names and treats people wrongly ARE THE BULLIES of the world. He is an arrogant white male who should F*** OFF AND CUT HIS HAIR. P.S you should seriously FIRE your wife for her hair cutting skills. Which you shared with all of us on your bullcrap show!! Showing/telling us her skills. A**HOLE!!!

98. Couldn't vote for both? Would be interested in knowing if everyone was as torn on which was worse as I was...

99. Oh my God what is up with this Donald a**hole?! What is he talking about? Rosie had the #1 show in primetime and left it while it was #1! The last time time Donald saw #1 with the Apprentice was Season 1. The ratings for the view have been up 59 percent since she has been there and they haven't gone down in 3 months! The show is called THE VIEW and she gave her VIEW on this pompous a**hole Donald. I also looked up on Mr. Trump on WIKIPEDIA and what she said was true he did file for bankruptcy and was in debt. He is so arrogant and he thinks he is so perfect and hasn't made any mistakes when there is evidence showing so. I hope the Apprentice tanks again and gets cancelled!

100. I think Rosie is wonderful. She's bold, funny, thoughtful, kind, giving and has helped more people who need a second (or first) chance than any other celeb I know. Her charitable work and philanthropy are very well known, and ANYONE who says that Rosie is "ugly on the inside" isn't someone I recommend listening to. Sure, she isn't a supermodel and would be the first to tell you so. Yeah, she's heavy. Yeah, she's not what we consider gorgeous. So what? If those things are that important to you (as they are to Mr. Trump) then your opinion is meaningless. Besides, I think Rosie is cute in a Betty Boop sort of way. I'm with you Rosie. You go girl!

101. Sorry Guys I have to Admitt I can not help myself this is all interesting with Rosie and Donald. I love hate them both. Rosie can be very very funny at times, but she does not know when to back down. The few times I have watched the veiw I have notice that Rosie seems to be the voice others may not agree but they back down. Never have I seen someone apose Rosies veiws. When Rosie had her own talk show I watched a few times, My feelings were that Rosie had gotten too big, everything seems to be about her and her feelings. ( I guess you can do that when you have your own talk show) But How about when you are not always right? People have feelings and thoughts! We all do our best to live in this world together. I am not Gay! I do get tired of people saying this happened or was said because I am this or that! I am also sick of people shoving their sexual prefrence or their nationality down my throat. I have no trouble if somone is gay or black or indian or purple with dots! Who cares this life is hard enough! Why do people feel they have to segragate themselves to prove a point? WHy do people have to use color of a persons skin or their sexual prefrence to make a point either way some things should be kept personal. I have respect for both Donald & Rosie! They have made something out of their lives why must you be vindictive to each other. Just shake and agree to disagree! WE have all made mistakes all of us. Miss USA and Miss Teen USA made mistakes and lessons can vbe learned from others for all. Maybe the fact the the drinking and drugs were found out that others can learn that we can make mistakes and go one from it. (99% percent of the teens drink some do it and drive. if someone who makes that mistake are judged they how can you expect a teen to admitt they have a problem if everyone is judging. ( they will only hide the mistakes until the problem is worse.) This could be something the helps our teens. the key is to look at it in a way that can be turned out good. We are teaching many to hide the mistakes and brush them under the rug not stand up and deal with them! Besides give me a break how many of us ever looked up to Miss USA as a role model?????????????? I know I didn't! Sorry my kids don't even know who they are. Thank you

102. C'mon Donald, you really think that just because you have so much money you can say whatever you want. You are not a nice person obviously and you can't even hold a marriage. The only reason you have a woman in the first place is only because of your wealth, defiantely not because of your looks (and wig). I know that your kids do not appreciate their father making a mockery of himself in front of millions of people. What happened to dignity, because right now you look like a childish idiot with lot's of money. Why can't you be the one to be the BIG person and just shut up. I and I'm sure allot of other people has lost respect for you. How sad. I wasn't to much into Rosie either but we all know she has always had a big mouth too.

103. Go Rosie.. Trump is a prick

104. Rosie is beyond annoying! I'm glad someone shot back at her! She never seems to really know what she's talking about. She forms crazy opinions and can never back them up. I couldn't believe it when I heard she actually had a job again. I don't understand why anyone would want to listen to her loudmouth ranting!

105. Personally I don't love either of them. Having said that, I used to watch her talk show but couldn't get past the fact that she always talked about motherhood, but hosted a show and was always talking about what she did in the evenings. (This was before she came out.) I couldn't understand when she ever saw her kids and I was, well, offended by that . So I stopped watching her. Then she came out, way out. I really don't give a fig if she is gay or not, but really don't want to hear about it and how it pertains to everything.

Then there was the Kelly Ripa thing, then the Ching Chong thing, now this. I think that she is looking to be fired so that she can claim discrimination about gays and get on her soap box again.

She is just as bad as Trump but fails to see the face in the mirror. Take a good look Rosie, a good hard look at yourself and how you are raising your kids. You are a witch with a b.

Donald, I can at least tolerate you. But I too think that you need to pop your comb over and come down to earth a bit. You are not a god, just like the only time Rosie was a queen was when she came out.

The real people of the world have real problems, so both of you get over yourselves and deal.....

YOU CAN BOTH SIT AND SPIN!
