Video Of The Day: Rosie O’Donnell Explains Why Trump Was Never Welcome On Her ’90s Talk Show
As Trump revisits their long-running feud, O’Donnell reminds us why she kept him off her show in the first place.
In a newly shared clip from Rosie O’Donnell, the comedian and former talk show host lays out exactly why Donald Trump was never a guest on The Rosie O’Donnell Show. Speaking plainly and with the same conviction that’s long defined her public persona, O’Donnell explains on the Jann Arden Podcast, “Since 2006 he’s had this issue with me once I told the truth about who he was and who he is. He went crazy and he’s had a 20-year vendetta where he can’t help himself but use me as a punching bag and ridicule me and tease me and call me ugly and unappealing and, you know, a degenerate and all the things that he does.”

The clip gains new relevance as Trump recently dredged up their long-running feud in a bizarre turn, publicly musing about revoking O’Donnell’s citizenship. In the video, Rosie cuts through the noise: “I never had him on my show. You know, he always called and wanted to come on the show, and I would never have him because I had no interest in him and I had no respect for who he was as a person.”
