This is quite ridiculous on both sides. These two are so incredibly rich, and choose to waste time and talent. They have so much money and yet spend their time arguing with each other. They need to grow up and be a bit more mature, how old are they, 12?

This is incredibly depressing for both sides. One would think that with all the money that each of these very rich individuals have they would spend it and their time much more wisely then by name-calling and acting as foolish children. Rosie is estimated to be worth over 110 million dollars, and Trump 5.8 billion dollars, they should go spend their valuable time somewhere else. And, for the record, this puts me in a dilemna, for I respect and admire both of these individuals. Please, you two, grow up and spend your time better, stop making a pathetic national scene, and embarassing yourselves with such juvenile behavior and tempers, show more self-constraint and control!

I think that Donald is being very immature and maybe he was offended by what Rosie said but I doubt it. This man has a God complex and he is just as suseptible to attacks in the entertainment world as anyone else.I think the fact that he is suing the city of Palm Beach for 25 million because he does not feel he needs to follow the laws of this country tells you what kind of guy he acually is.A pathetic jerk.How dare he use the fact that many Americans have died for this country as an excuse for breaking the law, but that is how this whole thing started isnt it?(Miss USA)

This is a very embarrassing situation for both sides. Mr. Trump obliviously places his social standing on the Same footing as Ms. O'Donnell. Clearly Mr. Trump learned little at home ,as to etiquette, self constraint, and Intelligible retorts. “ Premium Parents, bargain child.” It’s obvious; the people behind Trump are Trump. Mr.D.Trump is the Promotional Poster Child. By the way patronizing the reporter with cuff links, Déclassé.

I'm just curious how someone can be considered a "Nobody" or "talentless" when they have 13+ Emmy's under their belt. Leaving a TV show at the highest point in ratings.. matching shows like Oprah. Rosie's a bit extreme but compared to Trump she's TV's Golden Girl. "The Apprentice" has dropped in ratings since it's first year. They even show that on their wiki page. The Donald just has a lot of money and bolsters themselves like the US Government. We all know how honest the US Government is..

Donald is also FAT... His daughter sides with him, duhh, because she works for him! Rosie says what she thinks, (sometimes good, sometimes not) just like YOU AND ME! Donald keeps talking for the cheap publicity for his BoaringAss show. When do we get to see Fat Donald in a Polo shirt, or a t-shirt that reads, I love my hairdresser, or (ekk) shirtless.

I have read the comments people have posted, and it makes me think. We are no better than Rosie and Donald calling each other childish names. Yes, we are angry about the war but no matter what we have to support our troops. We have to be strong for them because they are strong for us. The people that say they hate the USA then why are you here? Apperntly America must have been good to you because you are still living here. It's entertainment! Every one of us has the right to our own oppoins no matter how stupid and rude they maybe.

Wow, the world has really gone to the shits. This is the most ridiculous thing ever, who cares which person is right there both idiots, fat slobs, and disaters. This is the season for compassion and love; not for insults and low blows to boost ratings and publicty. Both Rosie and Donald are a shame to society. Merry Christmas!!

"Rosie - someone to look up to? I like many of your posts, Samantha T, but I think I lost a little bit of (admittedly) anonymous respect for you. Not that you'll lose any sleep over that." Now, now, Anonymass - I never said Rosie's somebody to look up to. I was among the many who thought the "ching chong" incident was pretty racist and didn't buy that she had never heard that it was offensive. I also think she's totally childish for going after Trump the way she did - she couldn't be asking for the comments more. That said, I think Trump's classification of her as a "disaster" is just kind of stupid. She's indisputably a successful comedienne, regardless of some bad ratings. Calling her fat is also the biggest cheap shot of all and proof that he can't do any better than your average schoolyard bully. Anyway, please reconsider your loss of anonymous respect for me, despite the minutes I devoted to this debate that I'll never, ever get back.

I respectfully submit that anyone taking a side in this juvenile skirmish needs a worldview adjustment. Rosie - someone to look up to? I like many of your posts, Samantha T, but I think I lost a little bit of (admittedly) anonymous respect for you. Not that you'll lose any sleep over that. And to the person who claimed that Trump has "at least Trump has some class?" Wow. Wouldn't want to meet you or your friends.

The Donald is a player. He thinks he is always so high and mighty above everyone else. Bet Donald is waiting for Miss USA to turn 21 so he can have his way on her HAH!

Trump saying that Rosie's talk show was cancelled due to bad ratings is crazy. Saying that it was a failure when she won Emmy's every year is also nuts. Calling her a fat slob is just uncalled for and in extemely poor taste. Has he taken a look at himself recently? He's no George Clooney.

#10 and #11, how could EITHER of you be commenting on here? There are starving children on the streets AS WE SPEAK!!! This entry didn't make any claim to be a serious topic, so your comments are just trolling. Of course there are more serious things going on in the world. I recommend you stop reading useless crap on Gothamist and go to these places instead, I hear they cover serious topics: reuters.com/news news.bbc.co.uk nytimes.com

"Think about it. Who has lawyers that work for him and get paid regardless of whatr they do?" Yeah, they could also get sanctioned for bringing a claim they know to have no merit. "but at least he has some class" Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!!

Think about it. Who has lawyers that work for him and get paid regardless of whatr they do? He could make a serious dent in her finances by just forcing her to pay legal fees. Donald is hilarious. The hair, the women, the stupid lips, etc., but at least he has some class. Rosie is a fat Lesbo slob, should never be allowed to raise a child, has no education, and should live in a trailer. I say 'Go Donald'. Take a few million from her by just screwing with her. Can you imagine how bad her tang must smell? Yuk.

This is why terrorists hate america. No, they hate us because we support Israel. We can whine all we want about how the Iraq war made us "less safe" but the reality is we weren't safe before and we won't be safe until there's nothing but Islam from Spain to Pakistan.

Not to mention that Trump clearly has zero idea how lame his defamation claim would be. I love it - he's using a lawsuit as a way to annoy her but is probably among the assholes who bemoan "frivolous" lawsuits by people who get hit by buses.

What's interesting is that the Donald doesn't address one thing she said - not one! All he does it take cheap shots at her appearance and call her a disaster (which I beg to differ with).

I just find it interesting that Trump is so offended at O'Donnell's 'slander' yet finds it acceptable to call her fat, ugly, a loser, etc. And he may not have technically ever gone bankrupt, but that's because he filed for bankruptcy protection more than once over the years. The only reason people (especially women) give him the time of day is because he has $$$$$. If Rosie were a man & had the kind of money & power that Trump has, the same people critiquing her would be falling all over themselves to kiss her ass. And I'm not a huge fan of Rosie's either. I just think it's intersting that people who dislike her constantly comment on her looks or sexuality when they criticize her. I'm actually a little jealous of her! I'd love to be paid to give my opinion on a daily basis! And as for the Miss USA thing---Miss USA broke the law by drinking underage. I know kids all over do it but still--she broke the law and that's why she should have been booted. She's no role model to be running around with the title Miss USA! But then, Trump is a sucker for a beatiful woman. Wonder how he'd criticize Rosie if she were in fact a beautiful woman!

I wrote in to "The View" (e-mail) asking that Rosie O'Donnell be fired. Not because of Donald Trump, but because I'm sick of her plowing over the others. I normally don't watch, but when I do, it's just all Rosie. She should either get her own show or let everyone else have a turn at speaking.

Yawn. Two C-list celebs known for being tasteless. I think we're looking at the 2010 version of Hollywood Square's top left and middle right squares (who cares who sits where?).

I wonder, at what point does Barbara Walters ask: "Is this 'The View' or the 'Rosie O'Donnell' Show?" She's almost as bad as Trump when it comes to publicity...
