Celebrity Feuds
Trump Goes Nuts on Meredith Vieira

Donald Trump unleashed another verbal attack on the "Today" show this morning, but this time the rage was directed squarely at host Meredith Vieira.

The Donald, who was booked on the show to promote "The Apprentice," went crazy after Vieira immediately brought up the infamous Rosie feud. Trump steamed, "Here we are talking about 'The Apprentice' and you don't want to The hate-ables gallery: Click to launch photostalk about 'The Apprentice,' you want to talk about Rosie, and you shouldn't mention them in the same breath."

Vieira, who served on "The View" for nine seasons, lashed back at the billionaire, blaming him for, "fueling the fire."

The video is as explosive as it gets on morning television. Take a look.

46. We have decided in our household to watch "The Apprentice" to see whom is sponsoring the show, (his advertiser)s, then we have vowed to never buy those products EVER!

47. In my personal opinion Trump only exists because people allow him to. If you boycott anything that has anything to do with him then he loses everything. He mentioned a lot of his friends went bankrupt but he never did. What does that tell you about being his friend or being in business with him? Maybe with friends like him you don't need enemies? The guy must be desperate for rating to keep this feud going and when was the last time he went after a real man who might take him out behind the woodshed for real and not just trade words? My advice is to ignore the man, support those he attacks, boycott anything that he is involved in, and make him the newest one to be fired and kicked to the curb.

48. I didn't especially like or dislike either DT or Rosie, so I didn't really have an opinion one way or the other. And then I watched him on the Today show this morning. I couldn't decide whether he was the rude, egotistical, or crazy. I finally settled on a unique combination of the three.

Why would anyone be WILLING to work for him, much less compete for the job? I know the Apprentice winner makes a big salary, but half of it would go to therapy and happy pills to deal with the man.

49. Of course the nose-jobed boobed -jobed daughter is going to defend her father, imagine what she would do without the gravy train...she would be some D list actress...not even pretty like her mother was when young.

Trump showed his true colors to all America and made a fool of himself. Melania should not trump him, get the child support she wanted, the millions the prenup might give her and butt out.

Trump dear, if you lost your millions, not even a woman who looks like Rosie would want you. By the way, for you to say she is envious of that airhearded Miss Whatever is a joke, Rosie doesn't care what she looks like. Trump, there is more to women than looks honey!

50. NOTHING WRONG WITH DONALD TRUMP. ROSIE STARTED IT. SHE SHOULD HAVE KEPT HER BIG MOUTH SHUT. SHE IS MAKING THE "VIEW" SHOW AS TRASHY AS HER. USE TO LIKE HER, USE TO THINK SHE WAS FUNNY. NOT ANY MORE! SHE IS DESERVING OF WHAT SHE IS GETTING AND I HOPE IT KNOCKS HER DOWN A FEW LEVELS. WHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINKS SHE IS? SHE'S IS JUST A BITTER LOUD MOUTH HAS BEEN.

51. I watched the interview, Trump is a seasoned individual and should have known this would have been brought up. His response was childlike as well as unprofessional.

52. Trump has a show called "The Apprentice" ???

53. Come on, people! Rosie O'Donnell is a profound bully! She compared Christians to Muslim terrorrists. She made fun of Chinese people. She publically insulted Donald Trump. Rosie seems to think she can insult anyone she wants and get away with it. I for one am glad that Trump is taking a stand against her. Rosie needs to learn that she cannot insult people and expect to get away with it.

Furthermore, I have lost all respect for Barbara Walters as a journalist. She slams Mel Gibson (and rightly so) for the anti-semetic remarks he made while he was drunk, but apparently thinks it's ok for Rosie to spew her hateful remarks while sober. I hope Trump does sue the grotesque monster, and teaches her a lesson.

54. I agree with #4. That question should have never come up and she knew it was going to piss him off. Had it been me I would have said the same thing.

55. hate to admit it, but I am enjoying the feud -- quite entertaining. trump has a problem with criticism and the media loves egging him on. i actually feel sort of sorry for trump. it is so obvious that all these media kings -- meredith, larry king, etc are taunting them to fight more. rosie is not taking the bait and trump is because he can't help himself. hilarious.

56. I have always found Donald Trump annoying. Talk about an ego out of control.... And while I have never been a big fan of Rosie O'Donnell, I have to admit that I now watch The View on a regular basis, and it's because of her. As for Trump being offended by what she said about him being a moral center and his bankruptcies (the bankruptcy filings being business, not personal, but still his decisions led to them), he should consider himself fortunate that she didn't bring up his interview, saying that his daughter was so beautiful that if she wasn't his daughter, he'd do her. Not Donald at his best interview....

And can we stop referring to him as "The Donald?" Who started that bit of annoyance?

57. Is there any chance we can all move on to things that matter?

58. I don't watch the Apprentice.. never did. Doesn't interest me at all.

HOWEVER, Trump's response is the same kind of response I hope I would give if I were personally attacked like he has been. The guy got where he is today - not by being a pushover, but - by being a smart, direct, no-nonsense kind of person. He confronts issues head-on.

On the other hand Rosie O-jerk is all the things Trump says she is.

Go, Donald.

59. Hoorah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For Donald Trump. I support him 100% As do MOST Americans

60. When this first broke out I thought the Donald was doing into his - I will do anything to get the attention my oversized ego needs - then after the second go around I thought naw - this has to be a publicity stunt and they are all in it.
However now I can see it is much more complex ................The man is totally and absolutely off his rocker !!!!! There isn't enough fodder to feed his ego. The man truly believes that he is better - more knowlegable and certainly above the rest of the human population that walks this earth.

Well guess what Donald - tis time to join the REAL world - May I suggest and none too strongly - professional help !!!!!!!! Intensive therapy !!!!
