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!

I have pretty much stopped watching t.v.,the issue between these two is just downright boring.
Trump had the nerve to say The Apprentice was the number one show in America...shows you what a liar and con artist he is. His show got a beating last night because no one is interested in his arrogance and insulting manner. I, for one, hope his show gets canceled completely...then let's see what he can brag about next! He is just an old, fat bag of hot air making a complete fool of himself.
I'm not a fan of Rosie, Donald or Barabara. I don't watch neither of the the shows, however I believe Barabara said those things about Rosie as she also lied about the Star Jones situation.Barabara didn't think that Donald would repeat the conversation. Ever since Rosie has joined the show, in my opinion, she has created the most drama.It's not good drama as she calls out everybody and that's not right.Sometimes, we need to keep opinion to ourselves especially when we always have one - Rosie. I never understood why you tried to call Star the way you did because you hve y own issues by being a lesbian. That ain't right!!The war of words- so immature.Go build a school and help someone else besides yourself.
Not that I care for either of them, but this whole thing makes Trump look weak and petty! Won't anyone tell him that... and that his hairdo needs a makeover?
It's about time the obnoxious Pig ! Donald Trump had his U-G-L-Y ! azz handed to him ~
I am not a Rosie fan either ! but this time I am on her side !!
The stupid bimbos ( Trump's mail order bride & bitchy daughter ) can't save the comb over Pig this time either LMFAO !!!
Ok, lets take a look at who the real loser and liar is in this:
Rosie O'Donnell:
Support charities
actress (and not a bad one at that!)
talk shows (all successful, no matter what Trump says)
supports gay and lesbian rights, children and gun control
self-made wealth, had no help from daddy
not into the plastic surgery hollywood scene, likes to be natural like most of America
does not brag about her wealth because of insecurity
ratings high everywhere she goes
is secure in her own skin
Trump:
Daddy made the money
Lied and Cheated on wife #1 failed marriage
Lied and probably cheated on wife #2 failed marriage
bankrupt companies that he hides behind
screwed lots of people out of their jobs and companies by filing bankruptsy
married to wife #3 and will lie and cheat on her. probably failed marriage #3
reality show-1st year so-so
reality show 2nd year getting boring
reality show 3rd and 4th years Give me a break!
reality show 5th and 6th year in the sh*tter
resorts to name calling, backstabbing and lying to get his way
kicked a poor old woman out of her house to put a building there
brags about his wealth to anyone who will listen, and has to plaster his name on everything to compensate for his needledick
is the ugliest man alive and the most hated
Is now trying to shift the feud onto BW to take the heat off his own ass
Who would you rather be friends with?
Go Rosie! I loved you in Curb Your Enthusiasm!!!
WoW! That picture of Trump on TMZ is something! His face is even fatter and uglier that Rosie's! Now isn't that the pot calling the kettle black! YUK! What a BOW WOW!
I think they are both morons, and would not give you the steam off of last year's p--s for either of them.
I do not watch either show, nor do I have any intention to do so.
Seeing how they both are behaving, I would feel as if I needed a shower if I watched either program. Which is also exactly how I feel regarding Paris Hilton, Britney Spears or any other of those no talent little tramps.
All these people are the lowest of the low as far as thier behavior is concerned, money obviously does not buy class nor intelligence, personal dignity or self respect.
Their 15 minutes of fame are hopefully soon to be over.
Mr. Combover has nerve trashing Rosie O'Donnell and especially about her intelligence. I have listened to the newest Mrs. Trump on TV and question whether she can speak English. I can't say she impressed me with her limited knowledge of the English language. How does he have an intelligent coversation with her? Donald Trump might be successful in real estate, but he lacks class and has resorted to juvenile behavior and name calling such as children did in elementary school. He's like a little old lady; it's all so childish. I believe he thinks he is the cat's meow but trust me, with a mouth the size of a quarter, he needs an attitude adjustment, big time. Grow up, Mr. Combover!!
HEY #47 VI ...Rosie NEVER EVER said Miss USA didn't deserve a second chance. Get your facts straight please. What she did say was it was a publicity stunt and DT shouldn't be a moral compass to the nations 20 somethings. She was all for the poor girl getting a second chance. She made fun of the man as do every late night talk show host on tv and many comedians, but he chose to blow this all up.
I think the 2 of them are acting like morons.
Just goes to show you that money does not buy class, intelligence, dignity or self respect.
I would not watch either show, (and I do'nt ,nor have I ever)on principle.
Dragging Barbara Walters into the middle of this was disgraceful.
The girl who is Miss Usa should have had the title taken away from her.
They took it away from Vanessa Williams in 1984, for posing in Playboy.
The Miss USA pagent, as outdated and obsolete as it is-still has standards, and he just lowered them when he gave the girl a 2nd chance.
Whatever happened to being responsible for the consequences of your actions? She knew what she was getting into when she tried out forMiss Usa.
I would have fired her .
