Babwa on Trump: "That Poor, Pathetic Man"

Click to return to TMZ.comRosie and Babwa stuck it to The Donald again today, with Babwa calling him a "poor, pathetic man." They showed solidarity with each other and their "View" companions, and Rosie then couldn't resist a little knife-turning of her own.

Rosie opened the show, sneering,"He's at it again," referring to Trump's open letter to Rosie yesterday, in which he recounted a conversation with Walters wherein she supposedly called Rosie a "pig" and essentially gave Rosie her walking papers.

Just after Barbara took her shots at Trump, whom they couldn't bring themselves to call by his name, Ro and Babs reaffirmed (at least on-air) their professional relationship ("We're both OK?" "We're OK"). Then, they engaged in a deeply galvanizing, team-building high five with Joy and Elisabeth, whereupon Ro took one final parting shot at Trump, exclaiming, "His show tanked!" (referring to "The Apprentice's" tepid Sunday debut) and quickly changed the topic.

No word on whether Trump will preempt President Bush's address to the nation this evening to present his response. The Donald did, however, release a statement early this afternoon slamming both of them, yet again.

166. I support Donald Trump fully, a successful hard working businessman. Rosis has no business being on TV period. As for BABA Walters, does anyone really care! Do people actually believe she writes her own Cue Cards, etc.? Besides, who in there right mind watches the 'View" anyway, i.e., lets see, should I work and make a living today or stay at home and watch the "Veiw." Yea, right! Guess who the losers are?

167. Jon, PUHLEEZE,

So it was okay for Rosie to call Donald Trump all the things she did as part of her way of expressing that she did not agree with him giving miss USA a second chance? Donald attacked her back, you feel it was okay for Rosie to talk about his "combover" because he sometimes talks about it, but it isn't okay for The Don to talk about her being fat, ugly, and a loser, which many people agree with. Rosie has said she is fat. Donald could have taken the higher road, but he chose not to. Donald is being the man we've always known him to be, and so is ROSIE. And the comment about him being a moral compass for 20 year olds, I don't feel he thinks he is or was trying to be, Rosie on the other hand, think she knows what's best for Britney Spears, gays, women, everyone. She isn't the freaking moral compass for America, so SHE needs to sit down and shut up, if not the DON will keep dissing her, which I personally feel he should. And if making more insults at Rosie helps him with publicity SO WHAT, that's what he does, he is taking an opportunity and running with it.

And publicity he's getting doesn't have to only be for apprentice, there are other business ventures he's involved with that have his name on it LOSER...

171. Barbara made it very obvious that she READ THE PAPER in front of her that said THAT POOR PATHETIC MAN. She, for whatever reason, had to do it. I must be embarrassed of the muck she is being forced to drag in. Barbara has interviewed the world's most incredible people like the pro that she really is and it is a shame that a pig like rosie is ruining all the credibility Barbara has earned herself. Put an end to it Barbara, get rid of rosie, she's not funny to the average person and the trash belongs in the alley.

173. First of all, I never liked "The Donald" and "Loud mouth Rosie", but I don't think DT was lying about what Babwa said about Fugly. DT was on Larry King (when all this story broke 2 weeks ago) & DT revealed what Babwa allegedly said about Fugly. But if it wasn't true, how come Babs just came out to say (Jan 8) that DT liad. Too late for that BabWa. Joan Rivers was sad that she was not part of the feud. This is pure entertainment. I love it!

174. I am so sick of barbara walters and rosie. They are sickening. I hope the view fails. barbara used to be a well respected news woman and now she is just a big fat liar. Everyone knows she bad mouthed rosie to Donald. Now she looks crazy for trying to make everyone believe she didn't say it. I certainly don't believe her anymore. She just lost credibility with me. The View is suposed to be a show where women discuss their different views on a particular subject. Not shove the opinions down your throat. It is not a good show anymore. I support Donald Trump not rosie and crazy barbara walters.

175. i agree # 51
The View has really went into the toilet...even though the ratings are up..just think so is Jerry Springer ratings..do you want to be compared to Jerry..or should we be chanting....Barbara...Barbara...

I have lost a lot of respect that I had for Barbara during Rosie's short term on the view.

176. I was never a Rosie fan, but after watching the View today. And Barbara speaking without looking up. I knew at once, who wears the pants on that show. It was a beautiful moment. Isn't that right Ms. Walters......

177. I lost respect for Barbara, after giving her two-cents without looking up. Now I know who wears the pants and have the Power on that show. Seeing Barbara buckel like that, was priceless.

178. Stop the madness!!!!! This has gone too far. This war of words needs to stop. I have grown tired of this bickering. I thought more of Barbara Walters, but she has allowed herself to be drawn in the middle of this drama. If Donald Trump wanted to give someone another chance , then so be it. Who made Rosie the "Moral Compass" as she put it.
"The View" is your show Barbara, there was a time when I enjoied watching it please do not let someone like Rosie, who is in my opinion miserable, pathetic, unhappy, gloomy,dejected, inadequate, drab, dismal take it to the gutter. And not to mention take you right along with it. If you haven't noticed, Rosie is a complete gutter snipe, and they do love company.
Now I don't agree all the time with Donald Trump, but I do admire him for his accomplishments, which is far more than I can say for Rosie. The only thing she has accomplished is show the world that she does not know how to stop. That when you look at her closely she looks slob. And when you listen to her, you know her brain is the size of a peanut and it ggets little exercise.
I am not the only one who is of this opinion. This needs to stop, and it need to stop with Rosie. Donald should make no more comments, and Barbara Walters, take back "The View", it's your show.

179. I think Barbara is a liar and I think she said every word The Donald attributed to her. All that being said, I'm not sure what Donald thought would come of putting Barbara on blast. Did he really expect her to say, "Yeah I said it Rosie. What chu gonna do?" She's a wimpy backbiter. I wouldn't get too comfortable if I were Rosie.

180. Barbara take back "The View". You have allowed "The View" to be hijacked by this big mouth, bigheaded, arrogant, self-important woman. Do not let her destroy what you have accomplished. Stop the madness!!! It is time for this bickering to stop, and you are the only one who can put an end to it and save face and "The View". Rosie is miserable, pathetic, unhappy, gloomy, dejected, inadequate, drab and dismal, she will take you and "The View" stright to the gutter, where guttersnipes like her come from.
