[in anticipation that the first thread with this title over in Latest Breaking News will be locked, here it is again]
Rosie ODonnell is speaking out about her longstanding feud with President Donald Trump. The 55-year-old comedian and actress appeared on Watch What Happens Live on Thursday night (November 9).
During the show, Andy Cohen asked Rosie what it was like to have the President of the United States criticize her.
Donald Trumps opinion of me? Not really relevant. But when he got to be president, it was very trippy. It took me about six months to regain my equilibrium. I feel like I felt through the ice and I just was waiting to resurface, she said.
I told the truth about him ten years ago at a time when anyone could have find out those truths about him. But the media decided not to print it while he was running not to talk about the fact that there was no equivalence between him and Hillary Clinton. They acted like he was a legitimate candidate, so I feel like mainstream media is really responsible.

(2,559 posts)About why he never appeared on her show:
"Never, because I never liked him. If you're 55 and you grew up on Long Island, you know that he's a fake, a phony, and a fraud. It was no mystery to me. So I didn't have him on, ever. "
On what it's like to have the President criticize her physical appearance:
"Well not only my physical appearance... everything: my sexuality, my parenting, my wife, like he really went bat shit crazy.... I can say when he first did it, when he wasn't running for office, it was just this loser blowhard, like who really cared? And I don't really travel in his circles, it's not like I'm ever at Le Cirque, and I see some Trumpy. I'm a normal person, I go to the mall and the Cheesecake Factory. And so Donald Trump's opinion of me, not really relevant. But when he got to be President, it got very trippy. It took me about six months to regain my equilibrium. I feel like I felt through the ice and I just was waiting to resurface. But to have it done to you for nearly a decade makes the PTSD fairly intense."
On why Trump focused on her:
"I told the truth about him, at a time when everyone was afraid. And then I did the really offensive thing for him: I told the truth that he was bankrupt four times, that he's not a self-made man, that he got his daddy's money, and that he also notoriously ripped off all these private contractors, and all these family business all over Atlantic City went under because of his unethical ways. I told the truth about him ten years ago when anyone could have found out those truths about him, but the media decided not to print it while he was running, not to talk about the fact that there was no equivalence between him and Hillary Clinton, and they acted like he was a legitimate candidate. So I feel like the mainstream media is really responsible."

(20,219 posts)The 1% really wanted Dump to get all the focus. Meanwhile, media has never reported on Hillary's accomplishments, intelligence, compassion or political insight. Well, during some of her time as Sec of State, she was applauded in media.
Certainly not enough though, to counteract the 30 prior years of slime, and its continuation when she ran for office.

Rosie has been mocking the piece of shit who calls him Donald Trump, for so many years now. I agree with every word.
