Copy and paste from chatGPT's response on why they have beef.
TLDR: Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell have beef because she mocked his business record and personal life on The View in 2006, calling him out over a Miss USA scandal. Trump fired back with insults about her looks and character, and their feud has simmered ever since, driven by clashing egos and his grudge-holding nature.
Donald Trump’s habit of making fun of Rosie O’Donnell stems from a long-standing personal feud that began in 2006 and has since become a recurring theme in his public rhetoric. The conflict ignited when O’Donnell, then a co-host on The View, criticized Trump on air for his handling of a scandal involving Miss USA Tara Conner. Trump, who co-owned the Miss Universe Organization, had decided to give Conner a second chance after reports of her drug and alcohol use surfaced, framing it as an act of compassion. O’Donnell, however, saw it as hypocritical and seized the opportunity to mock him. She called him a “snake-oil salesman,” questioned his moral authority given his multiple marriages and alleged affairs, and challenged his self-made billionaire narrative by pointing to his father’s financial support and multiple business bankruptcies. Her impersonation of his comb-over and New York accent added a personal sting.
Trump didn’t take this lying down. He retaliated with a media blitz, calling O’Donnell “a real loser,” “a woman out of control,” and threatening to sue her for claiming he’d gone bankrupt (a claim grounded in truth—his companies filed for bankruptcy multiple times, though he personally did not). He escalated with personal insults, targeting her appearance (“nice fat little Rosie”), sexuality, and parenting, and even suggested he could take her partner away. This set the tone for a decade-plus of animosity. O’Donnell later said it felt like “the most bullying I ever experienced,” likening it to childhood trauma amplified by national attention.
Why does Trump keep at it? It’s partly his personality—he’s thin-skinned and thrives on settling scores. O’Donnell hit nerves he’s sensitive about: his wealth, business acumen, and public image. Her high-profile platform on The View made her critique more visible than, say, a random comedian’s jab, and her refusal to back down kept the fire burning. Trump’s insults—like calling her a “fat pig” or “slob”—also fit his pattern of attacking women’s looks when challenged, as seen with others like Megyn Kelly or Alicia Machado. He’s brought her up unprompted in debates (e.g., 2015 GOP primary, 2016 Clinton debate) and even in a 2025 Oval Office meeting with Ireland’s PM, mocking her move to Ireland after his re-election. It’s a grudge he enjoys revisiting, perhaps because it’s a safe, familiar target that riles up his base and keeps him in the spotlight.
O’Donnell, for her part, has said she thinks Trump hates her because she “told the truth about him when no one would”—exposing his persona as a fraud early on. Whether it’s that deep or just Trump relishing a good scrap, their feud’s a mix of personal vendetta and public theater, fueled by clashing egos and amplified by their respective platforms. As of today, March 12, 2025, it’s still simmering—Trump’s latest jab about her Ireland move shows he’s not letting it die anytime soon.
