The Donald vs. The Rosie Battle Royal w/Cheese

INReview Opinion Polls and Surveys Forum

The die is cast, the gauntlet has been thrown, line has been drawn, the **** has hit the fan.

It's an epic battle between:

THE ROSIE

She says: "Left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair. Had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend."

This is not a self-made man. I just think he's a hot bag of wind, frankly, with bad hair

&

THE DONALD

http://www.newyorkjewishherald.com/donald%20trump.jpg

He said: Rosie will rue the words she said. I'll most likely sue her for making those false statements—and it'll be fun. Rosie's a loser. A real loser. I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie.

Rosie O'Donnell is disgusting, both inside and out. You take a look at her, she's a slob. She talks like a truck driver.

Who will win?

Who will care?

YOU DECIDE!

-HECK!

Rosie didn't say lies about Donald. He did cheat on his wives, and marry other women, later on. He did have children with each one he married. And, he's supposed to be the "moral" compass for America....

Though I agree with the things that Rosie said, she went overboard... too far... and it's going to cost her... or the view.

Donald said things below the belt, that aren't true. She isn't ugly, and to say that he wonders how Kelly can stand to see her (don't remember the words but talking about seeing her naked).

They are both scum in this matter, and it should just be dropped.

Things are getting even uglier between Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell. The Donald called "Good Day LA" yesterday, saying Rosie is a loser and that "The View" will ultimately fail because of her. And now he's dragging Barbara Walters into the middle of all this, saying she told him she can't stand Rosie, even though Barbara would never admit she said it. The day before, Donald threatened to send one of his friends over to hit on Rosie's girlfriend, so yesterday, Rosie brought Kelli with her to work, because, she said, "I was afraid to leave her home in case somebody with a comb-over came and stole her from me."

Rosie just needs to chill out with the comments.

Regardless of who was telling the truth or not...why doesn't she just go on about her business.

Its really annoying to listen to her piss people off on a daily basis.

Rosie said she is in menopause, so I am thinking that she is having a very irritable menopause.

I just wish they both would STHU.

It's like watching Iran attack North Korea. They both suck.

I ordered one of these (The Donald vs. The Rosie Royal w/ Cheese) at McDonald's today.

" And, he's supposed to be the "moral" compass for America...."

Haha, what? The Donald is not moral and not compass for anything. He can't even find a good wig with or without a compass.

-HECK!

That was the point, Heck. He's making the decision on who can be considered "good" enough to keep the title, yet he's not a moral guy. That's why Rosie went on this whole rant.


As if the guy would ever wear a wig.
HOW can he think that a comb over looks good?

Yet, she should have lost her crown, but the Donald said that she could remain. Right? So, he's "Changing" the rules and deciding on what is considered good, and bad, morals. Who is he to decide? I don't care that he is a PART owner in this. He isn't a moral kind of guy. That's what Rosie was saying.

And, Rosie started out as a comedian. She is still one. That's what they do... they poke fun at others. Can't take it... get out of the lime light.

Rosie did the trash talk, and Trump to his credit, gave her some back 7 fold. She could have ragged on his decision without getting all personal.

She fired the first volley of poop into Donalds face, he just broke out the poop cannon. I'm not a big fan of the Don, but I'm siding with him in this one.

She broke off more than a piece she can handle and Trump fired all his ammo. Plus, it was none of her business. Next time she might want to find a lesser target for the subject of her "witty banter" on The View.

-HECK!

Actually, Trump should have taken the crown away. If there are less offenses that have caused the crown to be removed, then this shouldn't have been any different. And that's why Rosie mouthed off about Trump. Because HE made the decision to override something, concerning this girls MORAL decisions, in her past, and let her slide. Do you see where I'm coming from? He isn't a real morals kind of guy, so she bagged on him, and it's funny. Still, the whole thing got really blown outta proportion, and went bad.

I took Rosie's blatherings as her slamming Trump for even questioning this chick at all, like her drinking was fine and who was Trump to even threaten to take her crown.

-HECK!

No, she was slamming him because he isn't a moral character, so why should he be deciding that she's okay to get away with things, when others, with less offenses, didn't. That's what it was all about.

Ummmm.... you sure?

Because from reading the transcript it sounds to me like Rosie is challenging Trump because he was judging what the girl did. Rosie shrugged off her behavior saying she was "just partying like Lindsay or Paris..."

-HECK!

"Because his show ‘The Apprentice' is starting again in January, he held a big press conference to see if he was going to allow Miss USA, such a prestigious title," Rosie said on "The View" while rolling her eyes. "It's basically a model competition . . . They have one question in Miss USA, yeah and they're like ‘I'd like to cure cancer and end world hunger – and then I'd like to go to Studio 54 and do some crack.'"

Rosie continued her rant lashing out at Donald Trump's decision to give Tara Conner a second chance. "There he is, hair looping, going everyone, everyone deserves a second chance," she began. "He's the moral authority? Left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair, had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for twenty year olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend."

This will not Stand. This unchecked aggression, it just won't stand man.

Rosie and The Donald should have kids together the put them in a zoo so people can throw peanuts at them.

-HECK!

Well, no matter what, I actually agree with Rosie. I feel like she does. But, she said things in way too harsh of a way. She could have brought it up without certain things being said... like the "Sit and spin" comment. Donald isn't a moral compass... and she didn't say anything that was a lie.

I've never seen a moral compass before so I wouldn't know what one looks like

-HECK!

Well, it isn't someone that has affairs with multiple wives, and leaves them, for other women.

But, it isn't me either... so, what do I know.

It was "rumored" to whoever gives a poop that Trump was seeing Marla Maples while married to Ivana. Then he of course married Maples so you really can't blame his second wife, she knew what the deal was.

Is Trump a poon hound? Who knows. No one does. It's nobodys business.

Then he married his current wife. For all we knew he told all these ladies that's how he rolls and if they don't like it then tough. Of course they want the billionaire lifestyle so the let him do what he wants. So if two people have an amicable understanding about their relationship no one, especially a peon like Rosie O'Donnell, should chastise him about it.

Check out Heff and his gaggle of bimbos. They know the score.

-HECK!

Rosie is a tool. She puts her Prozac in Rolos. I hate her face.

-HECK!

I think that they are both spewing crap and making themselves look like bigger asses than they already are. I mean, come on... you're rich, you're famous... and you need to result to this "name calling"? Didn't we give that up back in elementary school?

I scoff in your general direction.

-HECK!

I think Trump wants to sue Rosie over the "bankruptcy" statements mostly. He added those personal comments to be mean & nasty b/c he felt Rosie humiliated him for choosing to give Miss USA a 2nd chance. Donald owns the pageant and can do what he wants. It has nothing to do with Rosie, she went too far I believe. They used to be friends! Donald shouldn't drag Barbara into it publicly. I'd bet a LOT of the Donald's "friends" secretly hate him. It's funwhenthey turn on each other. Star Jones is celebrating somewhere I bet.

Trump won't sue anybody. He's just swinging his wallet around acting like king stuff. Regardless, Rosiezilla started it and had her pants pulled down and verbally spanked by Trump. Maybe she'll think twice next time.

-HECK!

I was watching, The View, this morning, over at my moms house. I don't know if they've been on a break, for the holidays, or what. But, it was interesting. Barbara Walters was down in the Caribbean, on a cruise, with friends, when this whole things happened. She decided to address it this morning.

Barbara started by saying that Rosie was on a planned vacation with Kelly, and their kids, and that she would return next week. Then she said a few things about Donald's businesses and the bankruptcy truths, etc... She finally said that Donald made comments about having a convo with Barbara and that she had stated that she regrets hiring Rosie. Barbara said that couldn't be further from the truth, and that thanks to Rosie, their show has really gone up in ratings, etc...

I was quite proud of Barbara, and how she handled this situation. But, you could tell that she was quite peeved with The Donald, and I think that SHE is going to hand HIM his ass on a platter.

GOOD FOR YOU, BARBARA!

Trump will roll her up like an old cigarette and smoke her too. Then he will take a few more puffs on the O'Donnell cigar and jump on his supermodel wife on a pile of gold bricks.

-HECK!

Agreed. Trump will take them out with extreme prejudice. Man plays hardball.

Of course it is purely random that Trump happens to have a new show coming out this week.

Next thing you know Trump is going to get married to Katie Holmes before his movie War Of The Rosie's comes out in the summer.

-HECK!

Trump will be around LONG after Rosie and Walters are sent off to syndication. In fact, no one will want to rerun "The View", which is just a bunch of women griping about currents events.

You want that, you can get married.

Who wants to watch that crap!??!!?? Nobody my friend. Trump will have his shows in reruns for years to come. And if it sounds like I'm taking up for Trump, I'm not, guy is a tool. But he has upper hand in this affair.

Yeah, it's like asking which turd smells the best.

I like his show though, it's funny. Trump is so goofy but he has glide in his step because he's uber rich. I like that.

-HECK!

There is a rumour going about that the two will "fight" each other tonight on the wrestling show Raw don't know if it's true or a set up but I guess we will find out tonight.

Probably The Big Show dressed up as Rosie

-HECK!

If someone had to describe the feud between Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell to a television viewer whose power had been off the last three weeks, there are worse analogies than that of a WWE title bout, complete with a little off-camera brawling in the locker rooms and high-stakes ratings on the line.


How better to explain how Ms. O’Donnell’s criticism of Mr. Trump on “The View” on Dec. 20, in which she questioned both his financial acumen and his handling of the apparent substance abuse and emotional problems of the current Miss USA, Tara Conner, has spiraled into a free-for-all in which he has since slapped Ms. O’Donnell down repeatedly over her physical appearance; in the process, Mr. Trump has even drawn in her co-host and boss, Barbara Walters.

From her perch on “The View” last week, Ms. Walters scolded Mr. Trump over his contention that she regretted hiring Ms. O’Donnell for the talk show, only to get into a backstage shouting match herself with Ms. O’Donnell on Monday that was loud enough to be overheard by others and recounted to The New York Post.

To hear Mr. Trump tell it, even Star Jones — who was effectively fired from “The View” last June, only to stun Ms. Walters on live television by pre-emptively announcing she was leaving — has gotten into the act.

“I just got a congratulatory call from Star Jones,” Mr. Trump related yesterday in a telephone interview, just after noon.

About an hour earlier, on yesterday’s live episode of “The View,” Ms. Walters had the option to ignore the latest salvo from Mr. Trump, an open letter he wrote to Ms. O’Donnell, reprinted in the morning’s edition of The Post, in which he again described a conciliatory phone call he says he received over the Christmas break from Ms. Walters expressing frustration with Ms. O’Donnell.

“Well, he’s at it again,” Ms. O’Donnell told the studio audience yesterday as soon as she had taken her seat on one end of a long glass table on the “View” set, directly opposite Ms. Walters. “You O.K., Barbara?”

“I’m O.K.,” Ms. Walters responded. Then, taking the bait, Ms. Walters added: “That poor, pathetic man.”

“Give me a high five,” Ms. O’Donnell responded as she stretched across the table to meet Ms. Walters’s hands with hers, a “View” equivalent of a tag team in wrestling, however shaky. “He just can’t let go,” Ms. Walters said. “We’re moving on.”

And they did, to a conversation about hot flashes, of all things, but not before Ms. O’Donnell took a potshot at the opening night ratings for the sixth season of Mr. Trump’s “Apprentice,” the NBC reality series, on Sunday night.

“And I’m happy to say, his show tanked,” Ms. O’Donnell told the audience.

Mr. Trump, watching “The View” yesterday from his 26th-floor office at Trump Tower in Manhattan, was sufficiently moved to fire off a statement to reporters in which he defended the ratings performance of “The Apprentice” — the last half-hour of the 90-minute season premiere actually won its time slot, at least among younger viewers — before taking aim at Ms. Walters (and, indirectly, Ms. O’Donnell) again.

“Barbara has become a sad figurehead dominated by a third-rate comedian,” he wrote. And then, like a major league baseball player seeking to return a most valuable player award from a previous season, he added: “I now wish she had not recently chosen me as one of the ‘10 Most Fascinating People,’ ” an honor she bestowed on her annual holiday special, in 2004.

How to make some sense of all this?

On one level, it is a story of two long-running shows — “The View,” now in its 10th season; “The Apprentice” its sixth — seeking a little ratings traction.

Since joining “The View” in September, Ms. O’Donnell has repeatedly drawn attention by picking on-camera fights with high-profile targets, including Oprah Winfrey (whose sexuality she openly questioned) and Kelly Ripa (for recoiling when the singer Clay Aiken placed his hand over her mouth during an appearance on “Regis and Kelly,” also on ABC).

Setting aside her heavily promoted first week on “The View,” the show drew an average of 3.3 million viewers each morning from Sept. 12 through Dec. 15, an increase of 13 percent over the same period a year earlier, according to Nielsen Media Research estimates. But during the week after Christmas — the first full week after Ms. O’Donnell took on Mr. Trump — the show drew an average of 3.8 million viewers, according to Nielsen, a 24 percent increase when compared to a year earlier.

Mr. Trump, of course, has had a few public fights of his own over the years at key moments. Last February, for example, during the runup to the fifth season of “The Apprentice,” he wrote another open letter, this one to Martha Stewart, for the weak performance of her “Apprentice” spinoff — which he partly owned — saying it “never had a chance.”

On Sunday, after Mr. Trump had mined Ms. O’Donnell’s criticism for weeks of headlines on the gossip pages, “The Apprentice” opened with 9.1 million viewers — a drop over all from the premiere of the last season, but an increase among viewers 18 to 49.

Asked in the interview if he had continued to pound Ms. O’Donnell and Ms. Walters for the benefit of his show, Mr. Trump insisted he had not.

“ ‘The Apprentice’ means nothing to me,” he said. “It’s a peanut.”

Instead, he said, “Rosie is a bully. And I learned in high school, when there is a bully, you have to hit that bully between the eyes and high.”

He went on to call her “not smart,” “crude,” “disgusting,” “a slob” and “an animal.”

Of Ms. Walters, he said, “Barbara is a sad case. This has revealed the real Barbara,” before adding, ominously and without explanation, “I know a lot about Barbara.”

He also pronounced himself disappointed in yesterday’s “View,” saying he had hoped Ms. O’Donnell and Ms. Walters would dissect his letter. In all, they spent less than a minute on it, before the conversation moved to menopause.

“How gross was that,” he said, “Rosie talking about her hot flashes.”

Neither Ms. Walters nor Ms. O’Donnell was available to respond to any comments by Mr. Trump yesterday, said Cindi Berger, the publicist who represents them both. But when asked specifically about The Post’s account of the dressing-room fracas between the two co-hosts, she did not dispute it. “There was certainly a squabble,” she said. “Both women said what they had to say and have moved on.”

“Without,” Ms. Berger emphasized, “affecting their relationship.”

Of Mr. Trump, she said, “Someone has to pull the reins in on him.”

The man IS dirty. Dude, I don't care if you paid me 50 million dollars... I wouldn't sleep with that comb-over crusty piece of dried toast. At least Rosie is funny. She's a comedian, and bring entertainment to the viewers. What's Donald give?

So, why does Kris want to have sex with the Donald? She like the combover?

There... I edited my typo. BLECK! No way in hell would I.
