Donald Trump's Rosie slams du jour - TCA Report
Whether you want them or not, here are Donald Trump's latest slams against Rosie O'Donnell, unleashed at the TCA session for The Apprentice. The session was attended by Trump, his kids Donald Jr. and Ivanka, and original winner Bill Rancic:"This started out really having nothing to do with The Apprentice, but Miss USA and the pageant. The young lady had a drinking problem, and I gave her a 2nd chance. And Rosie went totally nuts, then she said a lot of things that have proven to be untrue."
"It became a very very big story."
"Last night I did Larry King; he said he wasn't going to talk about Rosie. Then, the first question was Rosie."
"The question was when does it stop? She's terrible; she's a terrible disgusting human being who's not very smart. And you'll see that whole thing blow up and give me a little credit when it does."
"I was disappointed in Barbara (Walters), and she called me from Europe and made certain statements (about Rosie) and never refuted those statements."
"If somebody attacks you a lot of the folks in this room will defend themselves. I have always defended myself. (Rosie) was wrong; she knew she was wrong. I watch her attack people over the years, and I don't see people fight back."
"I learned this in high school: when you're attacked by a bully, you attack the bully hard and fast and hit him right between the eyes."
"I think my image has been helped by (the Rosie thing). It shows that you're willing to fight for yourself. I watched Danny DeVito get decimated by that show. Kelly Ripa... I disgusted by how he was treated by Rosie. Years ago, I saw Tom Selleck; he went on (her show) to promote a movie, and (look) what happened."
"But Rosie's a slob and I let everyone know it. I said it like it is and i think people liked that."
"The ratings of The View went up because of me. Barbara Walters hates Rosie O'Donnell. I have to apologize to Kevin Reilly and Jeff Zucker back there, because sadly, I've increased the ratings of The View. Watch that without all the turmoil. It's a very boring show."
