Trump to Rosie: Babwa Called You a "Pig"

trump's letter to rosieDonald Trump says that Barbara Walters called Rosie O'Donnell a "pig" in a phone conversation and that "she won't be [at "The View"] for long."

Trump sent a letter to Rosie O'Donnell this morning alleging that he and Babwa had a conversation about the Trump-Rosie hostilities while Babwa was on vacation. Trump says that, according to Walters, "working with [Rosie] is like living in hell" and, "Don't worry, she won't be here for long." What's more, Trump says that Walters advised him, "Donald, never get into the mud with pigs."

Donald also tells Rosie that she has "good reason to be angry" at Walters, anger that spilled over in a confrontation yesterday on "The View," prompting two items in New York tabloids this morning. A "View" rep tells TMZ, "Barbara refuses to get dragged into this."

The Donald was kind enough to convey his "warmest regards" to Rosie's partner Kelly, to whom he referred to as Rosie's "wife."

271. Anti Rosy:

It's YOU who are wrong, idiot. Do you honestly think anyone wants to put themself through the ridicule they suffer with their sexual preference? How do you explain gay men who are effeminate? They are born with these traits, they don't decide to develope them. You can tell the difference between them and a straight man coming and going. Gay is something that is beyond their control. It's as natural to them as straight is to us. How do you explain a 3 year old that wants to dress in the opposite sex's clothes, or play with their toys? They are too young to make the CHOICE to want to be the opposite of what they are born. It's society that has a problem with anyone who is not like everyone else. As it shows in these posts here. What I want to know is, what it is about gays and lesbians that angers all of you so much? I never saw so much hostility towards them as on these boards. Disgusting.

272. If Trump says Barbara called Rosie a "pig" and Barbara says she didn't, why don't they both "pony-up" and take a lie-detector test? That would let everybody know who's telling the truth, wouldn't it? I think Donald is acting like a total JERK, even if Barbara did say that, I'm sure it was in confidence, and Donald should have kept that to himself. I'm not sure that he made that statement up, tho. I'd like to know for sure. After the way Barbara treated Star Jones, I don't know if I trust her anymore, even tho I want to. I think Rosie as a comedienne had every right to do what she did on the show --- if everybody Jay Leno made fun of on TV responded like Trump did to Rosie, there wouldn't be anything else on TV. Grow up, Trump...let the comedienne's have fun and learn to take it like a man.....

273. Nothing wrong with criticizing Donald for giving Miss USA a second chance; where Rosie crossed the line was when she got personal "combover, snake-oil
salesman, getting his past marriages / children involved, what do those things have to do with giving the girl a second chance. Rosie has a habit of putting people down than hides behind her gayness. In four months she's bad-mouthed Oprah, compared Fundenental Christians to Radical Muslims, made fun of Chinese, Kelly Ripa, etc, etc. Rosie assumes that being on The View gives her a blank check to say what she wants the trouble is this time she messed with someone who can roll in the dirt with her. On the other hand Donald is rich and he likes to brag about it, but he ain't no Ross Perot or Bill Gates. As Perot said "if you know how much you're worth you ain't that rich".Now here's a question... Honest answers only. If each person who has made a comment here could only have one child one child only; would you want it to be a boy that looks like Donald or a girl that looks like Rosie?

276. It has been fun to watch two egotistical bullies get their own medicine.
There is the combophobic Rosie who accuses everyone of being homophobic. There are Barbara's barbs.
There is the adiposephobic Trump who has now lost all the adipose endowed people in his audience.
The View is encouraging the fight in order to keep their program from dropping out of view.
Will Rosie be the next Apprentice? Will Donald buy The View and fire everyone? Will Star Jones be hired back? Are we all being manipulated as part of some vast right-wing conspiracy? Only Trump's hairdresser knows for sure.

277. I agree with post number 6. I personally can't stand either one of them--but Rosie is always shooting off her opinions like she has the final say. It is always about her and her's. If it ain't happening to her--it ain't happening. Maybe if she would close her mouth for a minute--she would learn something.. She also always seems to be angry about something. Geez, Rosie--take a pill or maybe even 2.

279. I can't believe that a man of so called stature has sunk to the depths that Donald Trump has. What an embarassment to himself and his family. It's hard to believe that he can't see his own disgrace.... and the level he's sunk to.

Rosie is a comedian....and that's what they do... they cut people up.

I heard he was shunned at the awards. I'm not surprised in the least.

Try to take it on the chin....like a man, Donald. You appear like a crying, whining little baby.

280. So Donald Trump has proved Rosie correct..

Considering the verbage he has used in this debacle.... what makes him the "moral compass", when he cannot even control himself and his temper. He seems to have no dignity or self control.......and this is the man who claims he's a "dealmaker". A charletan, perhaps....a blowhard, indeed....a disgrace, definitely.

He lashes out like a child. I've never known any man to disgrace himself in such a manner..... rich or poor.
