Donald Trump is set to sue The View host Rosie ODonnell, Access Hollywood can reveal.
Earlier this afternoon Trump announced he is filing suit against the TV talk show host. She says things that come to her mouth, shes not smart, shes crude, shes ignorant and to be honest I look forward to suing Rosie, he told our cameras. Im gonna sue her and I look forward to it. Shes really very dangerous for the show.
Trump declined to elaborate on the details of his proposed legal filings, but added ODonnell will understand his reasoning. Rosie will find out what were suing her for. She knows what were suing her for, he said adding the lawsuit is already in the works. Its something I look very forward to, he added.

The only thing I see that could lead to a lawsuit is some contractual issues and it seems she knew she stepped over some line whether what she said was right or no about Trump.
Not that I know of .. all she did was bad mouth him by telling the truth
I'm no fan of Rosie's .. but she was right on this one .. you'll have to see the whole video to catch what she said
HOLY S*IT, go TRUMP! I just watched the video where he totally ripped Rosie a new one! Hilarious!
WEll than, she is going to get sued. You get what you ask for basically!
"Suddenly, my esteem for the man soars.
My thoughts exactly!"
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" - American version
Earlier today, Rosie attacked Trump, branding him a "snake-oil salesman" and calling his staging of a press conference, in which he decided to allow Miss USA, Tara Conner to keep her crown a publicity stunt.
Rosie said on "The View" while rolling her eyes. "It's basically a model competition . . . They have one question in Miss USA, yeah and they're like I'd like to cure cancer and end world hunger and then I'd like to go to Studio 54 and do some crack.'"

Rosie continued her rant lashing out at Donald Trump's decision to give Tara Conner a second chance.
"There he is, hair looping, going everyone, everyone deserves a second chance," she began. "He's the moral authority?
Left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair, had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for twenty year olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend."
She also said she expected him to sue her but added "he'll probably be bankrupt by that time so I won't have to worry."
If that's the type of thing she said, I don't see a court case over this.
He's a public figure, so public criticism is allowed. We can say that he uses a toupee (I don't think he does) or worse. Heck, if people can make a movie saying President Bush planned 9/11 without governmental or legal pressure, WHAT CAN'T BE SAID?
This is just to get attention. I can't see it going to court at all.
She never shed a tear.
I'll take a look at it but some contracts it's a violation to tell even the truth. It's really odd that he sues, she knew he would sue unless they both know what's up.
Me too. I hope it's not just a publicity stunt that they both hashed out before the scene.
And Trump is savvy enough to get the popcorn concession for this one. Woo Hoo.
Here is an article that might shed a little light on why Trump is going to sue Rosie:

An excerpt from the article:
Rosie O'Donnell, co-host of ABC's "The View," said on Wednesday's show that Trump's news conference with Conner had annoyed her "on a multitude of levels."
"Left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair. Had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America," the comedian and actress said to roars of audience laughter. "Donald, sit and spin, my friend."
Trump didn't respond Wednesday to a phone call from The Associated Press seeking comment about O'Donnell's remarks.
Yea I know .. I saw the show
And what she said about him was true
What contract did Rosie sign with Trump?
Does he own ABC or The View?
Does she work for him?
Here is the video of it
