Rosie: 1 Donald: 0

Posted Jan 9th 2007 6:15PM by TMZ Staff

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.
Rosie O'Donnell vs. Donald Trump
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!

31. Rosie is just another queer that will drown in her own social vomit. Regardless of what anyone says about her, the end results will be the same.

32. Trumps an Idoiot...

When did I say I was a conservative?? I said they are liberal anit war, and you can't deny that!
I think it was perfectly fine for Tara to keep her crown and even thought Trump did great in giving her a second chance.
Trump doesn't force girls to be in his pageants.
I believe people are forgetting that Rosie not only insulted Donald but every girl that works hard to be in those pageants! If they want to be Miss USA who is Rosie to say yes or no?
I think Rosie owes everyone of those smart women an apology for insulting their goals and dreams.

I agree with Donald that Rosie is a bully.
It is becoming more clear why Rosie doesn't let her own kids watch television, she doesn't want them to see the sh*t she stirs up.

34. Donald "The Dump Truck" Trump should be ashamed of himself. He's a low life. He should comb that mop of hair over his face so we don't have to see that mug of his....and I hope that poor wife of his never gains a few pounds or he'll be dumping her to the curb. Poor lil' Baron...look who he has to call Daddy...what a great future he has growing up under the control of such an ass.

Rosie...keep on going...you already won this battle!!

36. Now, I am not a huge fan of Trump, but Rosie is an obnoxious big mouth who needs to stick her nose in everything that does not concern her. Personally, i was glad he told her off, and for the record , i am a plus size woman and was not at all offended by the whole "fat" comment. Get over it already.

41. Rosie isnt part owner of the Miss USA pageant. So who cares what she got to say.

All the freaking girls who entered the pageants worked hard to be a positive role models got slapped in the face when he let her keep her crown.

He basically said hey its okay to drink underage and do coke and het sexual with Miss teen.

Thats why Trump is a joke.

Posted at 7:39PM on Jan 9th 2007 by TRUMPS AN IDIOT!

42. #8

If you feel that way...why are you on this site responding?

43. I wonder if TMZ affected the ratings by stating on Sunday that The Apprentice was going to premiere on "Monday"? Hmmm

44. No need to confirm this, it is easy to see, you only respond to pro Queer Rosie crap. So you can stick it where Rosie would like you to stick it.

45. I think Rosie and "The" Donald are both a big yawn! Trump as of late is trying to revamp The Apprentice. Make it more interesting. Well, it is just a waste of time. I don't know anyone who has watched that show in the last two years.

As for Ms. Rosie you are one scary, fat, angry, pissed off woman. Your poor children already have to grow up in an unconventional household. Years ago you spoke of the horror of growing up with an abusive Father. Seems to me you have become that which you loathe the most. Jeez woman, take an anger management course. You wont last another three months on The View.
