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.

182. Rosie has played this game very well. First she let DT spew his misogynistic insults for weeks without any public response. By doing that, she gets many plus-sized women on her side. By getting DT to accuse BW of lying in a signed letter, now she has BW firmly on her side, too. On DT's side are kiss-ass wannabes and homophobic nitwits. She wins by appealing to the sympathy of the masses, something DT failed to do. He should have sued for money rather than grabbing free airtime to attack someone he thought would be an easy target. Unfortunately for him, Rosie is way better than him in connecting with people. She wins this feud. He should go back to counting his money.

183. All this could have been over with long ago had Babwa took a stand with Ro early on. Ro has been very mean, very "catty" for a long time for example with Kelly Ripa, and she has never offered an apology. Yes she is a comedian but save the rude comments for the stand up. As for The Don, well when being attacked by one who is questionable as well...well. All three need to go to time out.

184. Never liked Rosie or Donald, but I have always enjoyed Barbara and her shows.....'til now. I have lost all my respect and admiration for her. I know my Dad would be disappointed in her too if he were still here. The View has lost many fans lately.

185. Barbara:

You did say "It was a mistake hiring her. She will be gone soon." But you said it about Elisabeth. Donald just took what you said and applied it to Rosie. But you can't let Elisabeth go now. Everyone will know you said this about Elisabeth. Trump knew exactly what he was doing. Painting you into a corner.

The "Pigs in a mire" comment was also made. You said it in general and he applied it to the feud with Rosie.

He is smarter than you think.

186. Rosie will fail at this gig too. She will go to far as she always does and people will be in an uproar and Barbar will have no choice but to boot her.

187. I AGREE WITH #153, BARBARA WALTERS LIES. DONALD TOLD THE TRUTH WHEN HE SAID - BARBARA LIED ABOUT STAR JONES AND NOW SHE IS LYING ABOUT ROSIE. It is not over until the fat lady sings and THE DONALD DOES NOT LOSE. HE MAY HAVE LOST THE BATTLE BUT HE WILL WIN THE WAR. M A R K M Y W O R D S!!!

188. Well, now the show is completely in the can. I never liked Trump, Rosie's become some militant lesbian who thinks the entire world is homophobic, and Barbara has thrown all her character and integrity to the wind - she's a spineless jellyfish. Now even her interviews aside from the View will have a lot less credibility. How can you take someone seriously who lets themselves be steamrolled, first by Rosie, then by Trump? Two idiots in a war of mentalities, both unarmed.

189. I THINK THE NAME OF THE SHOW THE VIEW SHOULD BE CHANGED TO : "THE CHICKEN COOP". IT IS NOTHING MORE THEN A GROUP OF CACKLING HENS AND INCLUDES ONE FAT SOW. ROSIE IS UPSET BECAUSE SHE IS SO UGLY AND DONALD LET THE PRETTY LADY STAY THE QUEEN. SHE HAD TO OPEN HER FAT MOUTH WITH HER STUPID VIRAL ASSESMENTS AGAINST TO MANY PEOPLE. BARBARA IS A MORON FOR BACKING ROSIE'S ASSININE BEHAVIOR AGAINST TO MANY PEOPLE ,SHE IS NOT FUNNY BUT LOUDMOUTHED AND ABRASIVE.

190. Rosie has made so many nasty comments about people and now that someone is not letting her get away with it she screams 'foul"....the way I see it she has been the foul one way before Trump let her have it and finally glad to see someone stand for theirselves as Kelly Ripa found she had to do too. Now Barbara is scared for her show and has fallen into the mud slinging too all the while knowing she has lied to both Trump and Rosie. I think both of them can see her for what she has become and neither have to be happy. I hated to see Barbara lower herself to that level. When you used to see her one would feel what she said was the way it happened but not anymore....she has shown her true colors. I hope the View gets dumped soon, just like Barbara dumped on Star Jones!

191. At this point it really doesn't matter who started this stupid feud.
We all know what happened when Star was leaving "The View"; Barbara lied then and she did it again when she called Donald a "pathetic poor man"; not once she look at anyone or up to the camera, as many of you noticed.
It is about time that Donald stops throwing insults at Rosie and Barbara; it is time that Rosie stops mentioning Donald and it is time that Barbara stops lying.
Donald could be anything but he doesn't make up stories; he is very straightforward.
But... they all got what they wanted; we are talking and reading about them.
That is called Marketing, boys and girls.

192. Rosie O'Donnell has proved that the leopard cannot change her spots. She is still a loud, obnoxious boor. I cringe to think that she considers herself a spokesperson for gay America. She certainly does NOT speak for me. I believe that Ms O'Donnell keeps the CRUD in CRUDe!

193. Trump jumped the shark and now is getting eaten by the guppies.

194. Yes, They all lie in order to get the ratng up so they can charge more for commericals and make more money under their contracts. Just like Howard Stern. tt's all a game and it's the concept of selling the same porduct over and over and over again. Great gig if you can get it. Since all hese Hoolywod people have no concern for anyone, they can live with themselves in terms of ripping people off. Just like basenball players who sign multiyear contracts for 100 million and then don't produce. They rip people off. They are all scumbags

195. Enough is enough, for goodness sake! Hasn't anyone involved in this mess ever hear the expression, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?"
The behavior the entire country is witnessing is the kind of quibbling I see from my middle school students. Grow up, already.
