Babwa on Trump: "That Poor, Pathetic Man"

Click to return to TMZ.comRosie and Babwa stuck it to The Donald again today, with Babwa calling him a "poor, pathetic man." They showed solidarity with each other and their "View" companions, and Rosie then couldn't resist a little knife-turning of her own.

Rosie opened the show, sneering,"He's at it again," referring to Trump's open letter to Rosie yesterday, in which he recounted a conversation with Walters wherein she supposedly called Rosie a "pig" and essentially gave Rosie her walking papers.

Just after Barbara took her shots at Trump, whom they couldn't bring themselves to call by his name, Ro and Babs reaffirmed (at least on-air) their professional relationship ("We're both OK?" "We're OK"). Then, they engaged in a deeply galvanizing, team-building high five with Joy and Elisabeth, whereupon Ro took one final parting shot at Trump, exclaiming, "His show tanked!" (referring to "The Apprentice's" tepid Sunday debut) and quickly changed the topic.

No word on whether Trump will preempt President Bush's address to the nation this evening to present his response. The Donald did, however, release a statement early this afternoon slamming both of them, yet again.

16. I stopped watching the apprentice some time ago. It's just a big infomercial to me.
Do you guys get that too?

17. I lost respect for Donald Duck when he excused the behavior of Miss Thang. What a joke and then he calls Rosie a F.. You would think he had some class about him but apparently not. Sounds like Donald has gone back to elementary levels of insulting someone. I think it was the hair thing that got his goat so bad. Wow does it show the truth hurts if not accepted. When I see Rosie I see a person, not a physical feature.

18. I agree, # 8!! donald is nothing but a spoiled loser who has always had his Daddy dearest's $$ to fix everything. He didn't do anything on his own, unlike the powerful SELF MADE women he is trying to bully.

20. People...errr women tend to forget that its Rosie who started this whole thing and the only reason Barbwa is defending her is cause she sh*t herself backstage earlyer this week...I think she did tell him she hated Rosie and wanted her off the show and is now takeing the lame way out of it.

In the end who is the billionare and who is the fat old ugly lesbian?

21. Use to LOVE the Apprentice but no anymore. I agree with Stephanie...it has become an infomercial for Trump and just isn't interesting anymore. As for Trump and his comments, he was out of line and came across as nothing more than a 7-year-old bully on the playground.

22. Stephanie, I too felt like it was all advertising for someone on every task. That and the fact that it seems every women on the show had a nice body. It's not who's right or wrong here, it's the horrible things he said. You don't go around saying someone is a slob. Rosie seems to have a tough skin but it's got to hurt.

23. I really thought all of the publicity regarding this completely childish name calling back and forth between Rosie and Donald was tioom much... Now it's obvious that it's you stupid people keeping it going!
Go Rosie... Go Donald... Team who the f*** cares?????

Are you kidding me? Grow up!

24. I don't believe Barbara. Did anyone see how she kept looking down when she said "that poor, pathetic man"? She wouldn't even look at the camera or at Rosie. She won't even do anything when Rosie calls her a liar. If I called my boss a liar, I would be booted out the door right then. I guess Barbara doesn't realize that she's losing her credibility and integrity by letting Rosie run amuck over everyone. Rosie started this with Trump. She could show a little class and apologize. That's the problem. She doesn't have any class. JMO

25. #1: LMAO

Please...that's "extremely wealthy pathetic man with bad hair, wife who can't hold a conversation with him, daughter just like him and a baby who will be the laughingstock of first grade because his name is BARRON."

26. I would love it if Trump sued Rosie and Barbara for defamation.

27. i am so happy, star jones can finally get the last laugh, they blamed her for all the controversy, we can all see that barb. is the real bitch.

she must be enjoying the fights, backstabbing and lies.

28. I don't buy it... Barbara Walter is showing solidarity with Rosie O only on the air. Barbara is doing what she wanted to do with Star Jones, but Star didn't go for her fake BS. Barbara and Donald Trump were friends, she wasn't personal friends with Rosie, she had a certain amount of loyalty to Donald as a friend and a certain amount to Rosie, being Barbara is her boss. Barbara should have stayed out of it, if she chose to make a public statement she should have discussed it with both pf her "friends" The Don and Rosie, were she seemed neutral and hadn't chosen sides.

I think Rosie needs to leave the View, Barbara got higher ratings but at what price?
