Donald Trump thinks he's winning the war of words against nemesis Rosie O'Donnell, but in the war of popularity -- The Donald is getting his butt kicked. 
According to Nielsen Media Research, Trump's "Apprentice" took a serious shellacking in the ratings this week, while Rosie continued to help the yentas on "The View" leave their daytime competition in the dust.
"The Apprentice" finished a distant third in its time slot on Sunday night, light years behind "Desperate Housewives" and "Cold Case," and barely in front of old "Family Guy" reruns on Fox. In fact, Trump's lead-in show, "You're the One That I Want," featuring pathetic Broadway wannabes, scored higher numbers. Ouch!
In contrast, Rosie's been unstoppable ever since she took her first shot at the combed-over real estate magnate. "The View" has been a ratings juggernaut, picking up approximately 77,000 new viewers per week in its metered markets. The latest round of bickering caused nearly twice the surge.
Perhaps Trump should be Rosie's apprentice!

Donald Trump Rosie's Appretince? When Pat Robertson buys out Donald Trump's "beauty pageant" empire. Donald insulted women and that is a no go marketing plan.

SHUT UP! I dont watch the show either but everyone is allowed to voice their opinion.
Since you are so conservative.............. was it okay that Trump let Tara Conner keep her title as Miss USA.
Please give the conservative answer.
I guess its okay that Trump cheated on his wives too?
Get a grip Hillbilly!
Donald has so lost the battles and the war. Numerous friends were huge fans of The Apprentice. All of them have opted not to watch this season because of the insanity he's exhibited recently.
Time to head back to bankrupcy Donald, you're alway so much nicer when you're on the UP side of your hills in life.
His attacks on Rosie have bitten him because so much of the world identifies with Rosie. His peers, millionaire republicans, are not the people that watched his show.
CYA Donald....another loutish oaf will come along and replace you.
This has Realty Show writen all over it!! How about "the Donald Duck" and "Rose Bud" square off in a mud wrestling event . Winner or slash Loser send Barbara to a Spa for a well deserved day a rest. LOVE Barbara's integriety. Hope I spelled everything correctly as I am tired and laughing at the same time. Hugs to hard working people. FOCUS: Humor :) :) P.S. plus hogs and hisses
His daughter is okay looking, but I don't like seeing her trying to play little miss CEO. She's not very convincing in the role. I watched the first one, won't make it a point to watch the others and it has nothing to do with his feud with Rosie.
I don't see why Rosie is raising such a stink about what The Donald is doing with the pagent in the first place. She has no right to say anything really. Then she has the gall to get all upset when he comes back with a retort. She should have just kept her big yap shut. It was a real shame that wasn't the real people wrestling on WWE last night. That would have been awsome. I will be glad when everyone drops this scandal and moves on to something else though.
Rosie is not even in the same class as Donald Trump.....she really is a degenerate. Too bad Donald Trump is even wasting his time insulting her. Rosie is a guttersnipe..........Donald is a contributing member of society. As far as Donald insulting all plus size women, give me a break. Rosie being a plus size has nothing to do with her lack of class.
This has GOT to be a fake war. Neither of these people is dumb enough to wage this sort of stupidity in public. I think it's a publicity ploy.
Its funny how people can say they hate Rosie and Donald and all the people that follow the "War" between them have no lives....Well that may be true but if you are posting blogs about it, CLEARLY you watch it too. So Zip It Already! Nobody asked you to come read this suff,..yet here you are, reading it along with everyone else. Maybe you should consider getting a life.
It's too bad that Trump and others have to be drug down by this crazy woman. She is nothing but a loud-mouthed piece of trash. I never understood why Walters hired her in the first place. If the ratings of The View are up, it's only temporary because people don't like someone who has a big mouth and a take-over attitude like O'Donnell. Trump is fighting back and he has a right to do so. O'Donnell started this whole mess.
The idea that Rosie is somehow more defensible than Trump is really utter nonsense. O'Donnell is a rampaging seacow picking fights with half the world. Dream on, clowns.
