Is Babwa Lying? Trump Sticks to Claim

Click to return to TMZ.comBarbara Walters said she still loves Rosie, but Donald Trump isn't buying it.

On today's episode of "The View," Walters read a statement correcting specifics in a recent rant Rosie O'Donnell waged against Donald Trump, and added that she has never regretted hiring Rosie -- though Trump maintains the opposite was said to him.

Trump called into CNN Headline News' "Showbiz Tonight" and said Barbara's feelings towards Rosie are anything but cordial, and he believes she has to put up a front for the sake of the show. "Is she going to get on and say that 'I can't stand Rosie'? She has to work with her," adds Trump, "Barbara knows what she said to me, and if I really tell you what she said, it just creates havoc." Far be it from The Donald to want any havoc!

Although he says he has nothing but love for Barbara, there's "zero chance" Trump will appear on "The View" to hug it out with Ro anytime soon.

Hear Trump's towering interview tonight at 11pm ET.

16. Whereas, I am truly not a great fan of Donald Trump's, I'm even less of a fan of Rosie O'Donnell. Her opinions are sickening and she is annoying. And as for Barbara Walter's and her ever retracting statements, isn't she the one that wanted Star Jones tell "The View's" audience anything she wanted about her impeding unemployment and then got pissed when Star told the truth?

They all are lying and milking this for the most publicity that they can avail themselves to. Did anyone ask Rosie what she thought about beauty pagents, or it is neccesary for the Donald to comment that she is unattractive? And finally, when Babs attempted to smooth things over with Trump, who really believes she didn't sit there and bad-mouth Rosie to appeal to him? I don't watch the show very often, but I do know that Melania Trump has been a guest hostess, on several occasions. Melania is not a very talented woman so apparently Donald did have some pull with Babs.

17. WaWa only wants watings...she'll do anything, including lying, to keep this show going. After the Star dibacle, she is looking foolish now that she has replaced one goof with another.

Her Journalistic Legacy will not be one of her earliest days in the business, breaking new ground, but rather being involved with a Trash show. Shameful

18. Sure Barbara hates Rosie. She's only the executive producer. You know...the one who hired Rosie.

If Barbara hated Rosie she never would have been hired onto The VIew in the first place.

All those hairspray fumes have addled the Donald's brain. He's a petulant childish moron.

23. All of this crap is getting old. He's managed to make a fortune but that doesn't make him a decent and/or good man. Mr. Trump is an idiot with an obvious lack of personality, brains, and most definitely looks. He really has no room to put Rosie down. If he really believes America is any more fond of him than they are Rosie he's lost his mind.

24. Isn't there some place where we can email this arrogant a**hole to tell him what the American public really thinks of him? How does he have the balls to say that we are against Rosie over him? EVERYONE HATES HIM!!! hE IS THE BIGGEST JERK THAT EVER LIVED, AND ALL HIS MONEY WILL NEVER BUY HIM ON STITCH OF CLASS! Go throw yourself off one of your buildings JERKOFF!

25. This guy has the nerve to call Rosie names when he keeps repeating the word slob in reference to her.That to me seems like Trump has a thing about over weight women and that is in no way fair to millions of women who has nothing to do with this fight.I think Trump is so upset because he finally came across someone who's not afraid to stand up to him.Give it a rest Donald you may as well be whipped now as it is later.

26. Donald has alot of nerve making all those comments about Rosie! At least SHE made her millions ON HER OWN! Nobody gave her a fortune to play with like Daddy did with Donald Duck. All the comments he is making about Rosie discribe HIMSELF right down to the letter! Does he think he is scoring brownie points ranting like a lunatic to the public? Somebody please topple this arrogant a**hole! He needs to be taken down and taught a lesson! He's an over the hill perverted ass licking scum.

27. Barbara is LYING 100%.........and she is trying to save face.
She also insults everyones intelligence by saying Rosie's on vacation.
Who do you know starts a new job and goes on vacation in 3 months?
She clearly told Rosie to take a vacation so she could clear up this mess
that ROSIE STARTED. I'm glad Donald is exposing Rosie and Barbara's
true colors.

I also agree that the view is a trainwreck waiting to happen......sure
the ratings are up right now cause everyone enjoys watching a trainwreck.
Its only a matter of time.

28. Will someone explain to me what Rosie said wasn't the truth? She said sarcastically that he is a fine example of a moral compass. I agree. She said he went bankrupt several times. His companies did. Perhaps not personal bankruptcy, but she never said personal bankruptcy. Semantics if you ask me. She is also a comedian and her impression is spot on. He needs to move on. She has remained silent and taken the high road, while he has been horrible, calling her a pig, among other things. I wish someone would put HIM in his place. Money definitely cannot buy class.

29. I think BW is lieing and Rosie's contract is for a Sc hool year and School holidays. This was announced on her Blog PRIOR to the Trump fiasco. Trump shows no class.

30. Never trusted or liked BabaWawa after she stabbled Star in the back, then acted offended when Star had had enough!

Rosie needs a transplant,..a penis!
