Celebrity Feuds
Trump Goes Nuts on Meredith Vieira

Donald Trump unleashed another verbal attack on the "Today" show this morning, but this time the rage was directed squarely at host Meredith Vieira.

The Donald, who was booked on the show to promote "The Apprentice," went crazy after Vieira immediately brought up the infamous Rosie feud. Trump steamed, "Here we are talking about 'The Apprentice' and you don't want to The hate-ables gallery: Click to launch photostalk about 'The Apprentice,' you want to talk about Rosie, and you shouldn't mention them in the same breath."

Vieira, who served on "The View" for nine seasons, lashed back at the billionaire, blaming him for, "fueling the fire."

The video is as explosive as it gets on morning television. Take a look.

61. Of course "The Donald" will keep this temper tantrum up - it's publicity and obviously "The Apprentice" needs it. I stopped watching because he fired Caroline - he doesn't believe in second chances afterall - this whole thing is absurd - there really are more important things in the world besides "The Donald" firing off trying to prove his power and clout - as they say, "money talks and BS walks" - but this time they are one in the same.

62. First of all, Rosie was 100% right when she said the things about his marriages, adulteries, bad role model for 20 year olds and the ridiculous comb over hairdo. which is exactly why he is being such an a**hole. He cant take the truth and when its pushed at him, he wont face it and just blames Rosie, She said nothing wrong or bad about him, just the truth, wake up you ugly old fart. Try to have a little class and shut your big mouth. I would never watch your show.

63. No trump didn't file bankruptcy, personally. However, his corporations, and quite a few of them in fact, have filed bankruptcy. Same freaking thing if you ask me. He's such a loser, and a pig.

65. Mr. Trump has reason to be aggravated and say so. Unfortunatley, he needs the press and has to both create and put up with the publicity issues. He gets a lot of mileage out of his verbage. His business is making money! I'd never watch The View regardless of who is on the show. We have important issues to be concerned about and neither of the pesonalities involved nor the comments posted about Trump or Rosie are those issues..

66. EXCUSE ME........DON'T FORGET THAT IT WAS THAT FAT F***ING COW DYKE THAT STARTED ALL THIS SH*T. SHE COULD HAVE EASILY SAID HER OPINION ABOUT THE MISS USA SCANDAL, AND LET THAT BE THAT. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! THAT WASTE OF SPERM HAD TO GO AND MAKE IT PERSONAL BY TALKING ABOUT TRUMP'S "BANKRUPTCIES" AND HOW HE MAKES HIS MONEY, ETC, ETC, ETC. REMEMBER, IT WAS ROSIE WHO HID HER F***ING FAT LAZY ASS IN THE F***ING CLOSET ON HER TALK SHOW SAYING EVERY DAMN DAY HOW SHE LOVED TOM CRUISE. BITCH PLEASE, YOU SAID ALL THAT SH*T SO YOU COULD KEEP THE CHECKS COMING IN AND PEOPLE WATCHING. MEANWHILE, GAY YOUTH COULD HAVE USED THE SUPPORT OF AN OUT AND PROUD GAY PERSON. SHE IS A COWARD, AND AN UGLY RUG MUNCHING C**T. PLAIN AND F***ING SIMPLE FOLKS!!! YOU MAY HATE TRUMP, BUT GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR NOT TAKING HER F***ING BULLSH*T LYING DOWN LIKE A P***Y. F*** HER, AND F*** YOU TOO!

67. Trump is nothing but a conceited, big-mouthed, money & power hungry a**hole! I USED to be a fan of his, but NO MORE. I will NOT watch his crappy Apprentice this season, God knows it stinks worse every season. GET OVER YOURSELF TRUMP, you're not perfect, althought you seem to THINK you are. Your daughter is following right in your pathetic foot steps too, LOSERS! GET LOST TRUMP!

69. We are trying to get "The Donald" out of Palm Beach... Him and his stupid Flag stint. Follow the damn rules Trump!!! And this thing with Rosie is twice as stupid. How can a grown man and a grown woman be so childish is beyond me. I don't know how any of these people got so far in life! Money doesn't make you smart... I can see that now...
One never stops talking about himself and the other never stops talking about Gay Rights.... Frankly... I'm sick of it. And I wish our news stations would stick to news that is interesting and relevent. None of these people are relevent to be in the news. And Barbara Walters has gone down the drain with both of them. She spent so many years being a decent newswoman and now she's turned into a spectacle with the rest of the morons. Too bad... such a waste.

70. Thank You, Mr. Trump. Everything you have expressed is in line and in order. You are entitled to your opinions. And you have spoken loud and clear for millions of people who would not otherwise be heard. Thank you. And oh yes. Barbara Walters will come to regret her bringing That Person on board for she will sink the Boat, as they say. You are a Breath of Fresh Air and Have a Great Season!

71. Donald needs to get over himself, last time I check this was America and we are entitled to free speech Rosie clearly spoke her mind and Donald spoke his not long after Rosie's initial comments. Ok done spat over ! ......but all this crap and constant mud slinging on his part is nothing but a ploy, a publicity stunt to get people hyped up to watch the Apprentice,.......haven't we seen stunts like this before.... I seem to remember a war of the words with he and Martha Stewart.

Lastly did he really thin the former co host of the View wasn't going to hit him with the Rosie question ??/ Come on it was a softball waiting to be hit Get over yourself Donald!!!!!!

73. The Donald is a really obnoxious ass, I dont like him and I like Rosie even less,she is a really bad ass.
Take if for what its worth, they both deserve to be thrown off the air for ever

74. What a childish fool....he needs to grow up and start acting like a grown MAN....grown men do not have tantrums like a 3 year old

75. MEREDITH VIERA STARTED IT AND BACKED OUT. ROSIE O'DONNELL IS IGNORANT--NOT DUMB-AND SPOUTS OFF ALL THE TIME, AND NO ONE HAS CALLED HER ON HER IGNORANT REMARKS UNTIL TRUMP DID.

ON TODAY, TRUMP WAS EXACTLY RIGHT IN WHAT HE SAID; MEREDITH VIERA WANTED IT BOTH WAYS--TO DRAG O'DONNELL IN AND THEN PRETEND SHE DIDN'T! (BY THE WAY, I AM NO FAN OF "THE DONALD," AND I HAVE NEVER WATCHED THE APPRENTICE.) I DID THINK IT WAS GOOD OF HIS DAUGHTER TO BACK HIM UP, AND THIS SAYS SOMETHING POSITIVE ABOUT HIS FATHERHOOD. I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE HEARD MORE FROM IVANKA, BUT THESE VIDEO "CLIPS" ARE OBVIOUSLY EDITED THEMSELVES--LOOK HOW "JERKY" THEY ARE--WITH THE EDITORS PUSHING, SUBTLY, THEIR OWN AGENDAS!
