So it all started when Rosie O'Donnell made negative comments about Donald Trump after he made an announcement that he would not fire Tara O'Conner (who held the Miss USA title at the time). Tara apparently had drug and alcohol use problems. And of course, as is the norm now for "celebrities", she entered rehab to deal with her problems. As we all know now, when a celebrity does something stupid, whether it be drinking and drugs or using racial slurs, they go to rehab. We are then supposed to forgive and forget and let them proceed with their public careers. Whatever, moving on...
So Rosie pretty much thought the whole thing was ridiculous and compared Trump to a snake oil salesman, stated that he has gone bankrupt in the past, and laughed at the idea of him being the "moral compass for 20-year-olds in America." Out of all the comments that Rosie made, Trump seemed to be the most bothered by her claim that he has been bankrupt. So Trump goes on pretty much every show that will have him, slamming Rosie.
Watch what she said.
Let's look at a brief list of some things he called her:
*loser
*fat
*ugly
*lesbian
*woman out of control
*bully
*despicable person
...and the list goes on.
I could dedicate a whole blog just to all the crap he said, but I won't. He pretty much attacked every aspect her of he could.
So recently after her hasty exit from the View, Trump publicly stated that he was proud to have started her downfall. To that I say: Get over yourself Mr. Trump!
There was no "downfall" and Rosie's exit from the View certainly had NOTHING to do with you. Shut up!
Let me first say that I have so much respect for Rosie O'Donnell. She had the guts to really question our administration in a public forum and stick to her guns. That being said, I have lost ALL respect for Trump based on his reaction to her statements. It must also be noted that I never saw Rosie respond in the same manner that he did. She did not attack him in a childish manner as he did. Her comments were actually valid and based on something while his were not.
See some of what he said here.
I may be a little bias however. Rosie did do a hilarious impression of Trump and his comb over (see picture above). I feel her response to him still wasn't nearly as ridiculous as his response to her.
See her initial response.
It blows my mind that someone who I respected as a talented business man could be so incredibly childish and petty. The names he used the most to describe Rosie that I saw were fat, lesbian, and loser. Are you fu*king serious?? He had NO valid argument against her and I think he did more damage to himself then he did to her. He looked like a complete fool in my view. It was even worse when he brought Barbara Walters into it saying that Barbara told him she didn't like Rosie. That was a completely unprofessional thing to do and I hope that Barbara cut ties with him.
After that I refused to watch his show the Apprentice. I probably wouldn't have watched it anyway, but I made a conscious effort not to. Many have said his public retaliation was just to get ratings for his show which isn't doing so well anymore. If the opportunity arose I would not do business with Trump.
All he had to do was make ONE statement clarifying any claims she made about him and that's it! A respectable person would have not retaliated in such a manner. A respectable person would have taken the high road. Trump obviously chose a different path on the lowest road possible.
If Rosie wanted to respond in a similar manner what could she call him?:
*ugly
*loser
*can't keep a wife
*bad comb over
*stupid
*degenerate
....and the list goes on.
This whole mess was called a feud in the news but it was one-sided in my opinion. In either case I think Rosie is the clear winner.
This "feud" is a good example of why I started this blog, and why I stay fairly anonymous and ask people who comment to do the same. What would Trump have said if he had only read the statments made about him, not knowing who said it or anything about them? He would be forced to address what was said and the merit of it, rather than attack the person who said it. That's exactly what I want for this site.
Thoughts?
