Rosie O’Donnell Rips Trump In Blistering Rant — Claims She Once Got Tainted Bottle Of Trump-Branded Liquor
Comic Rosie O’Donnell ripped President Donald Trump in a blistering rant, and told Jim Acosta she once got a sealed bottle of Trump-branded liquor that was tainted with dead insects.
O’Donnell went viral this week over a new interview about moving to Ireland because of Trump, but the pair have been locked in a long-running feud for over a decade.
On Wednesday’s edition of his Substack video podcast The Jim Acosta Show, O’Donnell traced the origin of the feud for Acosta, and went off on a rant about a series of Trump’s failures:
JIM ACOSTA: Yeah, he seems to be obsessed with you.
ROSIE O’DONNELL: Yes, he does. He does seem to be obsessed.
JIM ACOSTA: What is that? Do we know what that’s about? It’s because you’ve criticized him in the past. I mean
ROSIE O’DONNELL: You know, he had Miss America pageant, Miss Teen America, this Tara O’Connor, I believe her name was, and she was in the village. She kissed a girl, she was drunk and the Post printed it. And he, right before the view was live, had a press conference to make her publicly apologize. And it looked to me a lot like a pimp and a prostitute. And I said that on The View.
And then I proceeded to tell factual, accurate information. About his bankruptcies, about how he was not a self-made man. I told facts that anyone could have Googled and found out. And he went batshit crazy.
…
I remember when his planes were repossessed off the runways at LaGuardia. I remember they put out the documentary and he was talking about how poor he was. I remember the stories of him pretending to date Madonna, of him calling people and pretending to be his own publicist, him lying about his book sales being number one. The man lies chronically, chronically like a teenage boy.
…I grew up knowing about that this man was the laughing stock of New York, and no one took him seriously. I would never have him on my show, and he asked over and over and over… Well, one day I let him come on the show to be a sweeper, and that was the only time he was ever on my program. And he was mad at me because of that as well, but he was never a man of any merit that I wanted to waste time to speak to. And I think that gets his goat in a manner that he doesn’t know how to deal with.
…
JIM ACOSTA: And I remember when I covered them during the campaign in 2016, I would go into Trump Tower. It was the first time I had ever gone into Trump tower. I was like, oh, this is going to be good. And I go in there and I’m like, why is this place such a dump? Why does it look so shitty?
Like the gold plating and stuff was kind of faded and you would go down to the men’s room and it was like. Wow. This is kind of like Penn Station. I mean, it’s not that.
ROSIE O’DONNELL: Yes. Well, he has no taste. He is very gaudy. He thinks that gold lame will fool people and, you know, he would probably sell it as gold if he had a chance. His steaks went out of business.
I remember I had somebody gave me, he had some liquor company at one point and somebody gave me a bottle, closed bottle of his liquor with two bugs in it. Like there were two dead flies in it and in a sealed bottle of liquor.
JIM ACOSTA: Wow!
ROSIE O’DONNELL: And I kept it on the counter for many, many years. But I, you know, this man has failed at almost everything he’s ever tried and to think that so many people believe the lie that Mark Burnett told over and over.
