Trump -- "Disgusting" Rosie's Exit a "Great Service"

Posted May 25th 2007 4:15PM by TMZ Staff

His Comboverness, Donald Trump, just couldn't resist taking one more swinging kick at Rosie O'Donnell on her way out the door of ABC, saying, "A great service was done by getting her off the airwaves ... she's a disaster."

The billionaire blowhard offered his pointed barbs to MSNBC this afternoon, just minutes after Rosie announced her departure ... and they were like a greatest hits compilation of Trump's Ro disses. "She's not a very smart person," check. "She's disgusting to look at," check. "She's aggressive," check. Of course, he had to get in a dig at Elisabeth Hasselbeck, calling her a "dimwit." Trump is against the Iraq war.

Donald, whose own show, "The Apprentice," just got axed by NBC, predicted that "The View's" ratings would rise in the wake of Ro's farewell, but declared that "The View" had become an "embarrassment" to Barbara Walters.

46. The View will never have good ratings again. I gave up watching the show when Rosie was hired. One way to make sure people won't listen to your opinions is to act like a two year old, yell, scream, attack and call people names. Rosie gained no ground with her behavior and actually gave gay women everywhere a bad name. Now that she is gone, I still don't want to watch. Walters made a huge mistake backing Rosie and sadly The View will pay the price for that bad judgment. Ruining pictures at the studio and destroying a dressing room was just more of the same infantile behavior. I hope people that may hire her in the future, give a second and third thought before giving her a contract. I predict Rosie will have a full and complete melt down. Don't know how the woman who lives with Rosie stands her. She must walk on egg shells all the time.

48. I agree with all who think Donald Trump's thoughts on the matter about O'Donnell's early departure from The View, are simply irrelevant. O'Donnell expressed a valid reaction about the terrible effects the current war has had on everyday Iraquis, whose lives have been sacrificed in the hundreds of thousands. The statistics are alarming, and routinely ignored in public debate here in the U.S. Although it is obviously easy to take cheap shots at O'Donnell for suggesting that Iraquis might view America's involvement and the hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, as "terrorist activity," I do NOT for a moment believe that O'Donnell thinks that the working men and women who have volunteered for the U.S. armed services are actually "terrorists," and that is what she was trying to get her co-host to acknowledge. Like many, I'm proud of anyone willing to put his or her life on the line on behalf of our country, but that does not mean that we must blindly support the war, or those who have masterminded it (namely, President Bush and his administration). There are wars that are inappropriate and have very negative consequences for America as well as the rest of the world. The Vietnam war was one salient example; the current Iraqui war is another, in my opinion. God Bless our men and women in uniform, but shame on the current administration that is misusing them.

49. The Dump Truck is just as bad as Elisabitch, they both desparately need
ROSIE to get on the news and entertainment shows. Babawawa said that
contrary to what has been said, the View's highest ratings were in February
before any feuds started.

53. Donald, the exit of your bad hair, your loud mouth, and your crappy show is also a GREAT SERVICE.

54. Donald Trump is a donkey's butt!!! It seems he is the one always attacking Rosie not the other way around. Everytime he is on tv he has to say something about her. And to say that she does her charity work for herself was just a horrible thing for him to say. Lots of children and families of benefited from her good work. Get a life Donald!!

55. IRosie has overstayed her welcome. The View is set to be just that, views from each member of the panel. Rosie just can't handle the others having an opinion of their own.

56. Donald Trump and Rosie are so alike they can't stand each other---neither can respect other people's opinions. And now she's off "The View" (thank God) and "The Apprentice" has been cancelled (thank God). Karma!

57. Dear Elaine (#8)...your comment was hysterical; thank you for the levity to an otherwise sad and repetitive situation. I'd just like to add...when the heck does this man have TIME to join in gossip and run a business? Geeeeeez....

58. The Dump Truck is just upset that his self promoting show got cancelled.
Ever notice he's always attacking women...he's the bully. He went after
Martha Stewart, Barbara Walters, Rosie, and even trashed Elisabitch.

WOMEN NEED TO UNITE AGAINST THIS POMPOUS ASS!!!

Posted at 5:43PM on May 25th 2007 by Dump Truck is a joke

59. Rosie is gone and now I'll watch again. She's a bully. We live in a supposed civalized
society, where people are free to express their views, NOT DOMINATE every conversation.
It just got tiresome.
