Donald Duck (at Least He Oughta)

Never one to waste a promotional opportunity, Donald Trump has already weighed in on Rosie O'Donnell leaving The View. Here's a highlight of the most offensive comments and a caution for the Donald: Aren't you concerned for your personal safety, or at least your comb-over? One of these days...snip-snip.

What does he think about Rosie leaving: "Well, she didn't leave The View, ABC fired her. They couldn't take it anymore. Her ratings, frankly, were good during the month of January, when she and I were going at it, but they've been falling very steadily ever since." [According to CNN.com, ratings for The View during February sweeps were up 15 percent in key female demographics compared with last year.]

Does he think it was a good move: "I think it was a good move for ABC. The problem is...Barbara [Walters] no longer has it, and the show is pretty sad."

How would he replace Rosie: "Probably the only one that could really do it would be me, but I would never do it."

What about Elisabeth Hasselbeck: "I think she's fine. I think she's a very good counterpoint, but Joy Behar is terrible and totally third rate, if that. And they don't have another person, so I don't know what happens with The View. They're going to have to get very lucky and get somebody good."
