When Rosie O’Donnell appeared on the No Filter Mamamia podcast and took another swipe at Trump, saying, “I think he’s afraid of smart, informed, strong women… strong women scare him and infuriate him. And I’m one of them.”

The Backstory: A Decade-Long Feud

To understand the interview, you have to look back at the legendary, decade-long public feud between Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump. The tension started all the way back in 2006 when Rosie was a co-host on The View. She openly criticized Trump for his handling of a Miss USA pageant scandal, mocking his hair and calling him a “snake-oil salesman.”

Trump fired back immediately, calling her “a loser” and “fat,” kickstarting a bitter back-and-forth that lasted for years. It even made waves during the 2015 Republican Presidential Debate when moderator Megyn Kelly confronted Trump about his past comments toward women, and he famously interrupted to say, “Only Rosie O’Donnell.”
