In a saga that just won't die, Donald Trump wrote a letter Tuesday to Rosie O'Donnell in response to media reports of her blow-up at Barbara Walters, telling her she had the right to be angry and saying Walters "lied to both of us."
The tone of Trump's Jan. 9 letter, sent to FOX News and other press outlets, is snide and some of his allegations about Walters' recent grumblings over O'Donnell, whom she hired last year to be the moderator on "The View," are shocking.
"In fact, she lied to both of us!" Trump wrote in the one-page letter, which he sent to O'Donnell at ABC Studios in Manhattan. "After your maniacal and foolish rant against me two weeks ago, Barbara called me from her vacation (I did not call her) in order to apologize for your behavior. She had heard that I was going to retaliate against you and tried to talk me out of it."
Trump claims Walters tried to persuade him to come on "The View" when she returned from vacation so that she could "patch things up," but he said no.
"To be exact, she said that 'working with her [O'Donnell] is like living in hell' and, more pointedly, 'Donald, never get into the mud with pigs' and 'don't worry, she won't be here for long,'" Trump wrote. "Barbara knows exactly what she told me over the phone and she has to live with it."

I'm with you, I like that Elizabeth girl. Of course, I have only watched portions of 2 shows. I just can't stand Rosie. The others on the show are appeasers. They never "really" say what their view is. I think they are all afraid of Rosie. She is like a firecracker waiting to explode!
If only Elizabeth wasn't so young, she might have the experience and boldness to stand up to Rosie. I think she wants to but she doesn't know how to do it. She probably goes home at night exhausted from having to be on edge next to Rosie. She might consider suing Barbara WAWA for creating a hostile work environment.
Agreed.
Gee, look....You can not email Rosie from The View page. Everyone else you can, but not Rosie. Darn.

click on Barbars's email and let her know how you feel. LOL
Trump says exactly what he thinks. That's what makes his show watchable. Rosie says exactly what she thinks. That's why it's irresitible to watch her. Walters doesn't say what she really thinks when in public. That's why she needed Rosie.
Rosie will always be employable because of her ability to get attention. Trump will always come out on top because he is honest and fights out in the open. Walters is going down because she lied to be friends with everyone. And lied to two people who say exactly what they think.
I always prefer people who act the same, talk the same, to every person they meet. Straightshooters. That's why Trump liked big mouth Frank and fired mealy mouthed Martin.
Exactly.
Nah, they should end this all with a little "make-up sex". Just replace this woman with Rosie.
****
My main reaction was to Ivanca, once she viciously said she didn't like anything about Martin, didn't like the way he talks, and couldn't see him ever working for Trump, there was no way daddy was going against his little girl. And I'm sick of hearing that Ivanca should be respected because she went to college, apparently her only credential beyond being daddy's girl.
Bull. Barbara wants to play both sides of this. She should be publicly called out on it.
I agree. Barbara is two-faced, one thing behind the back, another thing to the face....she will end up the loser in all of this like she did with the Star Jones mess...
Joy is a fraud, she sways like the trees in the wind...she's so phoney you can see right thru her....
Elisabeth is honest, sincere and very young. She will learn alot of lessons from all this for her remaining years in life...
Rosie is trash and always has been...she will go on dealing trash where ever she goes and whatever she does...
The Donald didn't get to where he is by being stupid...he will be the winner in all of this...he is liked by alot of people, he's classy, he has the ability to call a spade a spade and people like that...
Gotta hand it to the Donald. He knows how to twist the knife. Talk about pych-ops!
Trump wrote a letter to Rosie??
You mean to tell me the postal service has started delivering mail to farms animals?
Wow, times have changed!!
There is no way that guy Martin could work for Trump. His personality is not what you find at the Trump Organization.
Now Heidi, I have no problem with.
If Muslims had our freedoms they would be able to wallow in the mud with these pigs.......and if Donald Trump married Rosie O'Donnell he would be
DONALD O'DONNELL
And that's all I have to say about that.
