Thank goodness for Twitter—if not for the addictive social-media outlet, Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell might have to sling barbs at each other via fax.Yesterday, the Donald took a swipe at Rosie and her engagement to girlfriend Michelle Rounds, tweeting, “I feel sorry for Rosie’s new partner in love whose parents are devastate at the thought of their daughter being with @Rosie – a true loser.”
It was just the latest in a series of volleys between the two—earlier in the week, Rosie compared Trump to Lord Voldemort on Joy Behar’s show and jokingly tweeted that he was “handsome, kind, loving, honest—people love him, really.”
We’re sure there’s no love lost between the two larger-than-life personalities, but this “feud”—a rehash of their old catfight from 2006—seems a little artificial. Both Ro and Donald are trying to ramp up their public profiles—O’Donnell for her new talk show on the Oprah Winfrey Network and Trump for whatever he’s gonna do instead of moderate the GOP debates.
These two should send Christmas presents to each other, not snipe online.
How about we take this to the next level?

Grow up. These two behave like children.

I think O’Donnell misunderstood and thought Trump said he was “reheating some old food.”

Rosie is an out of shape (didn’t say fat) has been desperate to be relevant. She should look to Howard Stern for how to convey bitchiness in an audience pleasing manner.

Trump stirs the shit pot to sniff his latest mud pie. Since being snubbed by the Repubs for not wanting to come to his debate party where he could say “hey, look how important I am, don’t I have the biggest bone head in the room?”, he’s had to revert to his childish backup routine, i.e. attack whoever is available. From O’bama’s birth certificate to Rosie in general, the guy is fast becoming the new poster boy for the All American Fuck Weasel Award, coming soon.

@Pocket Otter: FOFLMAO! Brutal.

If Rosie cut her hair and grew some stubble, she’d look like Chaz Bono.

Rosie should have asked when Trump was going to buy his next wife. Mellania has a bit of mileage on her.
Then again, he probably already has a few rentals.

Donald Trump is such an irrelevant homophobic douche bag. What a loser he is.

What a loser he is.” … regardless of whether his is actually homophobic, “The Donald” seems to believe that it doesn’t matter if you get good or bad publicity, as long as you get publicity. Starting a war with Rosie is a good way of doing just that.

Wagner).

The first time around their fighting WAS funny, because it was so bizarre that two powerful New Yorkers were acting like such Junior High schoolers (like Trump talking about Rosie at his wedding eating a LOT of cake) but this time it seems too put-on.

Some of us really don’t want to know. One thing’s for sure. He’ll never start a second career as a go-go boy.

Need proof that all the economic and political gloom and doom is 100% pure BS? Here it is: As long as Americans have time to waste on fucking morons like these two, there can’t POSSIBLY be enough wrong with the country to warrant complaining about.
