There are few feuds as deep and ugly as that of reality TV-slash-real estate mogul Donald Trump and that of chat show host turned documentarian Rosie O'Donnell.

So bad is their blood that "the Donald" couldn't even resist a swipe at Rosie in his 'Celebrity Apprentice" series on NBC when Cyndi Lauper casually mentioned Rosie's name as a potential big donor in the first episode challenge, only to hear Donald castigate her friend and make Lauper feel defensive and bad.

It wasn't a classy move by any stretch, regardless of his feelings towards the comic who ruffled his feathers years ago.

Trump has wasted no executive time in one again attacking Rosie O'Donnell -- venomously weighing-in on her planned upcoming talk show.

"She's a loser. Her other shows didn't do well, this one won't do well," Trump told "Extra" Thursday at the premiere of the Broadway show  "Come Fly Away." "Everything she touches is a failure, she's a failure."

The two began their poisonous pas de deux in the press after O'Donnell's 2006 comments on the "The View" had been critical of Trump for "acting as a moral compass for 20-year-olds."

It became a back and forth between the two that devolved into Trump and Rosie name calling each other at every open mic.
