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.

76. I am not 100% sold on roise, but trump is so stuck on himself he thinks he is gods gift...I will tell you his luster is gone and i will bet the apprentice is going to flop but thats my thoughts we will see.
He keeps this thing going and by threating her about everything they both have big mouths and big ego's.....
His first wife is probaly sitting back laughing she got a ton of money and from this man that thinks he makes up all the rules.....for some one that manages other peoples property he sure thinks he is something.....
I will be glad again when he is out of the headlines...

78. DONALD only does things to push people around. Rosie was right as to why does he think he has the right to morally judge anyone? People in glass houses should not throw stones Donald....Rosie is no prize...but neither are you, if you didn't have all that money no woman would look twice at you. If you don't want people to make fun of you, quit doing it to them, look at yourself in the mirror and say YOU'RE FIRED and move on...let it go.You are a great disappointment as a role model for any one.

79. Good for The Donald, Rosie is a huge bully, and has manipulated The View right from the start, so good for him for "telling it like it is". I do respect him, but both of them need to bury the hatchet!

80. I watched the show this morning and while Trump certainly wouldn't let the talk show host do a proper interview by asking questions, it was in no way explosive. Trump knows exactly what he is doing. He's been a public figure for many years and he understands that all this "high school drama" is great PR. If he really wanted the media to drop the situation, he could always reply with a "No Comment" instead of making more snide remarks about Rosie.

82. Trump was wrong for excusing the Miss America party girl- the Pagent has standards to be living by and she broke all the rules. In the same light, Rosie needs to be put in her place for opening her big fat mouth all the time, she is nothing more than a bully with her self serving rants, she has taken over the View and directs it the way she wants.....YUK!! Shame on you Barbara W for letting her. i refuse to watch it any more- I will not boy cott the Apprentice.....

83. Yea for the Donald!!! Rosie go blow, you whale. It's about time for her mouth to shut. If you can't put your money where your mouth is than shut it. And some of you idiots should learn how to spell -

84. the fact is that rosie spouted the truth about that idiot donald, she even had her facts to back her up. which no interviewer even brings up. his company did go into bankruptcy a bunch of times.. and all he says is i never personally went into bankruptcy, but he is his business. and we're not that stupid and is crazy calling her fat and ugly has got a mirror??? his name calling has totally shown america that he is the loser not rosie. she was right he was wrong.

85. I am not surprised at the response to the interview by the fans and viewers. It seems that , again, the general public is not able to see through the hype that is the media. This was not a rant by any meaning of the word. If you would like to see a rant, please watch Rosie's tirades on Donald Trump, amoung other things. Why are we not placing the same standards on Rosie? Could it be that she plays into the whole media thing, wheareas Donald Trump is not one to play to anything, other than the truth (whether anyone likes it or not)? I do believe that those out there who are criticizing Donald Trump are those who would not have the ability to do the things that this man has done; the "have-nots" complaining about the "haves" simply because the "haves" have it. I may not like Donald's demeanor, however, I admire the accomplishments that he has achieved and the lesson in capitalism at it's best.

86. I think Meredith was totally wrong for her comments and should be repremanded. Donald ,had every right to object. Had he known ahead of time she was going to talk about Rosie, he would have declined to be on with her. She is reprehensible. Rosie is a loser and I could say many more nasty things about her. Mr. Trump is responding the same way anybody would. He did not create the problem. Ms.Barbara Walters is a fake and she makes me vomit when she speaks too. By the way I don't think Donald went "nuts" as you put it. Some people in the media are inflamatory to say the least. All for ratings.

Thank you,
Mario

87. Rosie's got a big mouth to start off and it's about time someone had the stones to put her in her place. Donald is no Kelly Rippa, who was the target of her first attack. It seems that ever since she left her kiddie atmosphere morning show she has decided to put her two cents into every issue that may or may not involve her believing she has the right to do so. it's kind of ironic that she accuses Donald to be a attention seeking person, which he is, but it seems without Kelly and Donald she'd have nothing to contribute to a show that should be nothing more than an editorial-like point of view and it's her way of getting that attention she accuses Donald of seeking....not sure it helps her show since everyone tunes in to other shows to catch the clips of this confrontation instead of watching the hour show.

I say Rosie should stop thinking of herself of a crusader for every cause and just do her show without feeling the need to make issue of every little thing her big head interprets as "an issue".

88. He's an a**hole, He is rude, obnoxious, and should know plenty about failing. He went bankrupt so many times and if it wasn't for daddy's money he wouldn't be where he is today. And if it wasn't for money he wouldn't be married to the women he has been married to or is mariied to.. No woman would marry someone like him unless he had money. He's ugly, definitely needs some real hair plugs, I saw him in person and he is not exactly what I would call a fashion plate. Nice example for your kids .Grow up Donald, you're a jerk.

89. The truth about Rosie ...finally it come out...she's arrogant,fat,big mouth husky woman...Trump is right about her....she will be soon leaving the view...the w oman is cursed...

90. I was amazed at The Donald's initial reaction to Rosie O'donnel's statements-he acted like nothing less than a spoiled child! Not Graceful, Don- might have expected more from you- but you behaved with class-less distinction!
I haven't seen that kind of behavior since 5th grade!
And for Ivanka andher two cents- I used to think she was a smart young lady - I guess she's accustomed to her father's ranting....by the way, did you notice her Breast Implants??
