Trump calls Elisabeth the "dumbest person on television!"

Trump slams both "The View" co-hosts as he promotes Chicago skyscraper

CHICAGO (AP) - Donald Trump has exchanged insults with Rosie O'Donnell and questions Elisabeth Hasselbeck's intelligence.

So who does the real estate mogul and "The Apprentice" star back in the recent on-air tiff between "The View" co-hosts?

Neither, apparently.

Trump today said O'Donnell is self destructive. And he called Hasselbeck "probably the dumbest person on television."

Trump came to Chicago to check on the progress of his towering condo-hotel project, which is under construction along the Chicago River.

But, like most places he goes, reporters couldn't resist asking about O'Donnell. The two have been linked ever since they started trading barbs about six months ago.

1. WaWa denies it was a stunt for sweeps week ratings:

Barbara Walters Stops 'View' War of Words
Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck's Heated Argument Sparked a Larger Debate

NEW YORK, May 24, 2007 - After the explosive debate between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck that rocked "The View" Wednesday, Barbara Walters, the show's creator and co-executive producer, declared peace and shot down any speculation that the argument was fabricated for ratings.

"Welcome to 'The View' & so Aunt Barbara is back and there will be peace in the kingdom," Walters said in an exclusive statement to ABCNEWS.com Thursday. "Rosie O'Donnell is off Thursday: It is her partner Kelly's birthday, so Rosie asked to have the day off."

"It's a hot weekend, so everybody can cool off," Walters continued. "And for those who think, let us say, the interesting day, was planned for ratings that's just absurd. The highest ratings we've had for 'The View' this whole year were in February, when there were no feuds."

Fans of the ABC TV talk show got more than the usual chat and gossip Wednesday when a long-running debate between co-hosts O'Donnell and Hasselbeck about the war in Iraq erupted into a war of words. The political sparring match turned personal, sparking a larger debate about what Americans can and cannot say about the war. ...

3. Maybe since Elisabeth believes in this "war" (slaughter)

so deeply, she should encourage her second-string hubbie to join up--like Pat Tillman did. Then she'll have a platform to stand on as she supports the war. Come to think of it, maybe I'll tell her that myself.

10. That's a whole lot of good Christian woman cleavage Ms. Hasselbeck is showing off.

2. Trump must still watch to see if he is mentioned. What an

attention whore. I do agree with him on the "dumbest person on TV" remark

Hasselbeck won't like that. I think she bought one of Trump's overpriced apartments

7. What is really funny is that Elisabeth threw the "Donald Trump"

name at Rosie in the heat of the argument yesterday like a knife in her heart.

Today, Trump calls her the dumbest person on TV. Dumbka drew herself into the Trump/Rosie feud!

9. Haha I forgot about that. Now she wil cry. waawaa

4. I can hear deeper commentary by the drunks at the local bar

How this show became the hit it is escapes me.

5. "Dumbest person on television"? I dunno.

Granted, she's in the top tier, but that's a very stiff competition.

6. Donald Trump would hold a press conference if he farted.
