Trump the Cobra, O'Donnell the mongoose

Donald to Rosie: \'You\'re fired!\'. EPA/STR UK AND IRELAND OUT

New Yorkers knew it was coming. Like the monster Godzilla fighting King Ghidorah, it was only a matter of time before Gotham titan Donald Trump and its very own girl Friday Rosie O'Donnell would come to verbal blows over something.  Enter the tearful Kentuckian Tara Conner, the recalcitrant Miss USA allegedly tainted by the Big Apple, at the core of their tiff.

People magazine exclusively reports that O'Donnell had some choice words for Donald Trump on chat fest "The View" today, calling him a "snake-oil salesman" following his spare the beauty queen speech giving "troubled" Miss USA Tara Conner a second chance.

Wasting no time, Trump immediately called People magazine.  Trump dubbed Rosie "a woman out of control" and threatened to sue O'Donnell over her statements questioning his financial status.

"You can't make false statements, 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." Said The Donald to People exclusively.

What bon mots from O'Donnell made the Donald's hair stand on end?  "(He) left the first wife – had an affair. (He) had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend." Said Rosie on "The View."

O'Donnell mocked Trump further, imitating his voice and fiddling with her hair.

Conner, who just turned 21, went from tears to giddiness as she was interviewed on live CNN broadcast yesterday, to the point a Miss USA executive accompanying her on stage with Donald Trump had to unceremoniously yank the mic away from a Conner who told reporters it "was pushing the envelope" to suggest she was an alcoholic.

Putting gasoline on the fire, Rosie delved into The Donald's "business" and discussed his finances – saying he went bankrupt, which Trump denies – and likened him to the "snake-oil salesman on Little House On The Prairie. This is not a self-made man," O'Donnell said on "The View."

The fellow View-meisters discussed the Conner stuation at length, with Rosie chiming in that Hilton, Lohan and Spears do the same things.  O'Donnell also said some disparaging comparative remarks contrasting the quality of Miss America to Miss USA pageants.

Trump told People magazine that he was never handed his fortune through inheritance and defended the ratings of the Miss USA show.

People magazine reports that a prescient O'Donnell was prepared for a New York sized fight after she criticized Trump, adding: "Here comes the lawsuit. Get ready. This is going to be good."

Donald Trump is a horrible person with a horrible history of marrying women then leaving them. I'll Rosie and her VIEW over the Comb-Over any day.

I hope they cancel The Apprentice this season.

Donald Trump is unprofessional. He would have fired her if she handn't kissed up to him.
When he said K-fed was a punk, he was right on target. Then he found out K-fed admired him. He then did a 360 and said K-fed is fabulous. So it's not a matter of performance but how much ass you kiss. I think he's a phony and Rosie will kick his ass. Thanks Rosie.

Donald Trump is my new hero. Rosie is an ignorant, pathetic person and I've been tired of her act for years. I only hope Mr. Trump puts her in her place with his threatend lawsuit.

Trump is a PIG! He is surrounded with beautiful people who are attracted to his MONEY, certainly not his looks. He is smug, arrogant and the furthest thing from a gentleman. All his money cannot buy him any class. He is truly insufferable! Puke in a suit. He had his wife Ivana in a penthouse and his girlfriend Marla 4 floors down. He took his wife skiing and brought his girlfriend in a separate jet. He signed a pre-nup promising money to Marla if they stayed married 5 years, so he divorced her after 4 years and 11 months. Money was more important than his (2nd) wife and (3rd) child. He then marries a 3rd wife and has a 4th child. He brags about his wife's beauty and his money.... and doesn't see the connection. Despicable moral character.

I think Trump is a pig, womanizer, horrible role model for the
Americans' I wish he would go away. So, what he has so much
money and likes little girls. I hope he losses all his money again,
because he is the most shallow person, that has ever existed in this
era.

Go Rosie, I never liked you much, but I do now. I think you stood up to
that idiot. Go, girl You are my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!
