NEW YORK -- The Miss USA partying episode has led to a war of words between Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump. O'Donnell told her audience on ABC's "The View" Wednesday that Trump's news conference Tuesday with Miss USA Tara Conner had annoyed her "on a multitude of levels" and called him on his own personal misgivings.
"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," O'Donnell said, as the audience erupted in laughter. "Donald, sit and spin, my friend."
Trump, who is the co-owner of the pageant, fiercely responded to O'Donnell's comments in the New York Daily News.
"This woman is totally out of control," Trump told the Daily News. "I'm worth billions of dollars, and I have to listen to this fat slob?"
Trump also knocked O'Donnell's personal appearance on "The View" during her criticism of him.
"When I saw the tape, I said, 'You'd better be careful or I'll send one of my friends over to take your girlfriend!'" Trump told The News. "I imagine it would be pretty easy to take her girlfriend away, considering how Rosie looks."
Trump was also annoyed over O'Donnell calling him a "snake oil salesman" and claimed that he went bankrupt but "didn't have to pay."
"I never went bankrupt, but she said I went bankrupt. So probably I'll sue her because it would be fun," Trump told the syndicated television show "The Insider."
Trump also threatened to sue O'Donnell.
"I'd like to take some money out of her fat-ass pockets," Trump told the show.
Trump also said her talk show didn't get ratings and her magazine was a "total disaster."
