Donald Trump Viciously Mocked Rosie O’Donnell’s Depression During Their Public Feud

Donald Trump, while feuding with Rosie O’Donnell in the mid-2000s, mocked her struggle with depression, an insult which temporarily ended their very public war of words and which Trump boasted about weeks later in a speech as an example of how to “get even.”

Over the past week, Trump has turned his attention toward Ted Cruz’s wife. He retweeted a crude meme comparing Heidi Cruz and Melania Trump. And Trump has threatened to “spill the beans” on Heidi Cruz — which many have interpreted as a reference to her struggle with depression in the 2000s. The Trump campaign in recent days has pointed, belatedly, to Heidi Cruz’s work on the Council on Foreign Relations, and other Washington groups.

An early episode of Trump’s very public and vicious treatment of women occurred in 2006 and 2007, when he was engaged in a now-infamous feud with O’Donnell which began when she criticized his handling of the Miss USA pageant. The two traded barbs over several months, with Trump attacking O’Donnell’s physical appearance in the cruelest of terms.

But their already nasty feud took on an even darker tone when Trump mocked O’Donnell’s revelation that she suffered from depression.
“If I looked like Rosie, I’d struggle with depression too,” Trump told Entertainment Tonight.

The remark ended the months long back-and-forth, with O’Donnell responding onThe View, saying, “The guy, he can’t get over me, that’s all I can say. Never mention that dump truck again.”
Trump referenced the diss a few weeks later in a speech in Toronto as an example of how to get even.

“She announced last week that she suffers from depression. They called me for a comment, and rather than saying ‘I have no comment’ or ‘isn’t that too bad oh, that’s so bad,’ I said, ‘I think I can cure here depression,’ — most of you heard this. ‘If she stopped looking in the mirror, I think she’d stop being so depressed.’”

He continued, “And they said, ‘It’s a horrible statement, it’s a horrible statement.’ What’s so horrible about it? She attacks me. She said I had terrible hair. You know, it’s amazing. She calls me comb-over, she calls me — but we’re not allowed to attack.”

Trump then said that when O’Donnell was asked about his remark, she said, “I have no comment, I have no comment about him.”

“Get even,” Trump said to the cheering crowd. “When somebody screws you, screw the back in spades. I really mean it. I really mean it. You’ve got to hit people hard and it’s not so much for that person, it’s other people watch.”

Easter Egg Hunt at Pez Museum ‘A Mess’ As Parents Push Each Other on the Ground

Kids attending the Pez Museum’s free Easter egg hunt on Saturday, March 26, in Orange, Connecticut, were largely disappointed by the event — which was ruined by some pushy parents.

According to NBC Connecticut, the annual event drew thousands of participants and featured nearly 10,000 eggs hidden across three fields. But the happy celebration turned into a scene of chaos when parents ignored the Pez employees’ rules and regulations and bum-rushed the field.

The hunt, which was supposed to take place in three waves separated by age groups, soon descended into a free-for-all, with some children getting pushed and even injured.

Nicole Welch, a parent who witnessed the scene firsthand, told NBC Connecticut that “by the time I found my 4-year-old, he was hysterically crying.”
Her son Vincent added: “Somebody pushed me over and take my eggs and it’s very rude of them and they broke my bucket.”

Trump campaign manager Lewandowski charged with battery.

Florida police have charged Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski with simple assault in connection with an incident earlier in the month involving a reporter.

Police in Jupiter, Florida, said Lewandowski surrendered Tuesday morning to face a misdemeanor charge of battery, NBC News reported.

He is scheduled to appear before a judge on May 4.

A surveillance video released by the police appears to show Lewandowski grabbing Breitbart News reporter Michelle Field as she tried to ask Trump a question during a March 8 campaign event.

The police report stated: "Lewandowski grabbed (Michelle) Fields' left arm with his right hand causing her to turn and step back." Fields showed police her left forearm which "appeared to show a grabbing-type injury," according to the investigating officer.

"Mr. Lewandowski is absolutely innocent of this charge," Trump said in a statement. "He will enter a plea of not guilty and looks forward to his day in court. He is completely confident that he will be exonerated."

"He was not arrested," campaign communications manager Hope Hicks said.

THE PATTY DUKE SHOW THEME
(Sid Ramin / Bob Wells)

Meet Cathy, who's lived most everywhere,
From Zanzibar to Barclay Square.
But Patty's only seen the sights
A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights -
What a crazy pair!
But they're cousins,
Identical cousins all the way.
One pair of matching bookends,
Different as night and day.
Where Cathy adores a minuet,
The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette,
Our Patty loves to rock and roll,
A hot dog makes her lose control -
What a wild duet!
Still, they're cousins,
Identical cousins and you'll find,
They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike -
You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind.

A Spring Mix salad, with goat cheese crumbles, dried cranberries and walnuts, with a Lite Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing.
It just makes me happy.
