O’Donnell Furthers Feud With Trump

A conversation on The View about comedian/actor Richard Jeni’s suicide somehow led to the high and mighty Rosie O’Donnell having an argument with Donald Trump… and Trump was not even in her presence.

The View hosts were talking about the fact that the late Richard Jeni had clinical depression and at times suffered from psychotic paranoia.

O’Donnell chimed in to say, “Make fun as much as you want, but it’s an illness.” Also on set, Joy Behar replied, “Nobody makes fun of mental illness,” with O’Donnell quickly blurting out, “Donald Trump does.”

Rosie then repeated what Trump had said to her earlier, “that she gets depressed when she looks in the mirror.”

“O’Donnell then did her patented Donald Trump comb-over impression by pushing her hair to the side. The other co-hosts couldn’t resist and followed suit.”
It is interesting that O’Donnell can take a conversation about a man’s problems before his suicide and turn it into a mini-feud with someone completely irrelevant to the topic. The celebrity claimed she would “never mention that Dump Truck again.” Another patented insult aimed at the financial tycoon turned reality TV star.
