I'm getting sick of Trump constantly calling Rosie "fat" or a "pig"
I really haven't been watching this silly "feud" all that much and don't even know how it began, but I was switching around channels last night and found Larry King interviewing Trump and every other word is about Rosie being "fat" or a "pig" or some other disparaging word for her weight. I wonder if Rosie refers to that bad toupee he wears or something?

1. I abhor Donald Trump
I really do.
He is the poster boy for misogyny.

2. I ag ree with you on that one.
I fail to see how her perceived physical attributes have anything to do with her as a person. And "pig"? What the hell does that mean, exactly. I neither like nor dislike Rosie but drawing attention to her appearance is, for Trump, a slippery slope indeed.

3. It started openly after that press conference with Trump and the pagent girl...
Rosie took issue with it and the notion that Trump was some sort of moral authority. It's all stupid, not newsworthy and it's unfortunate that Walters has been dragged into it.

4. just say no.
I switch it to another channel whenever I encounter this kind of stuff. It's either a clever attention-getting ploy by one or both of them, or Trump is of really low character. Insulting someone like that shows more about his worth than anything else.

6. Everybody laughs about his hair
Which she did, and joked about his divorces and his bankruptcy, which all comics do. For some reason I will never understand, he chose to take HER remarks personally and go on the attack in a truly hideous manner. We've got Gored and Swiftboated, I don't know what the word is going to be for Rosie but she's being slaughtered for sure. Rosie, who everybody loved five years ago, is now villified and she hasn't changed a bit.

7. Calling that thing a toupee gives toupees a bad name
One of Conan's best bits is Trump vs. Orangutan leaving only the top tuft of hair showing with the audience having to guess if its Trump or well an Orangutan

8. That's kind of how it started.
In the first comments she made about him, she grabbed all the hair on one side of her head and swept it over to the other side. It did make me laugh.

10. It's A Pox On Both Their Houses...
But she called him out...

That's life...

Fights are like war... Usually the party that starts them doesn't get to say when they end...

I never liked Trump but the truth is the truth...

11. Frankly I rejoice every time I hear him uttering those words.
Edited on Wed Jan-17-07 03:27 PM by Hoping4Change
Each time he flaps his gums about Rosie, he digs his own grave by exposing his true self. Alot of his fan base probably fall into the chunky and over-chunky catagory so they won't be too happy with his contemptuous remarks, with the dismal ratings of his new show I think this is not wishful thinking on my part.

25. I'm with you
Half of American women are over a size 14. Not all of those women are fat, but the vast majority of women are convinced that if they lost ten pounds, they'd be much happier. Everytime Trump insists on referring to a woman as "fat", a "pig" or my fave, a "degenerate," he ensures that there's one less person who watches his television show, patronizes the advertisers of that show, stays at his casinos, or supports any project he may embark on.

I'd be humiliated if I were Melania, but somehow I'm imagining she doesn't much care. Ivana has to be loving this.

12. Trump has the body of a pig and the face of a lamprey eel with a dead nutria on its head.
It's about time I vandalise a photo of Trump... I need good photos. :hi:

15. Rosie's stupid and Trump is shallow
They are both awful. Rosie's little talking chinese illustrates that she really isn't very smart. Trump obviously only sees skin deep. Probably does think that unless you are thin and attractive (ie a model)that you are a worthless loser. Rosie's brain into say,Jessica Simpsons body- you've got his next wife I imagine.

16. I have mixed feelings about Rosie, can't stand Trump.
I always liked Rosie till she went off the deep end about Clinton, all the while acting like Giuliani was some sort of god.

Stephanie Miller says, though, that Rosie is hard to work for.

18. Donald's such a victim
Really, how can a multimillionaire white guy possibly stand up to the harrowing power of an overweight lesbian? I mean, all of society is structured and geared to handing lesbians all the power and prestige in our culture, whether it's earned or not. Those poor multimillionaire white guys hardly stand a chance!

22. The Donald is extremely thin-skinned
He bought himself a Hollywood Star this week.

The next thing will be that he deserves an Oscar for his
lame TV show


:crazy: :freak:

23. In spite of his money and fame
I think "the donald" is a very insecure person. Attacking Rosie makes him feel superior


Rosie is a sometimes likable , not very smart person.

They both act like idiots

26. Thing Is, There Are Enough Negative Aspects Of Who She Is As A Person To Use Accurately Without
having to resort to comments about her weight or appearance, so on that point I agree.

He should just call her shrill, loud, obnoxious, arrogant, ignorant, forceful, abrasive and hateful. That would not only be accurate, but would also be directly related to her rather than to a physical appearance that others share that don't deserve a wholesale negative connotation about.

His name calling also shows a lot about him.
