President Donald Trump on Thursday dug up a months-old tweet from Rosie O’Donnell to quip about FBI Director James Comey’s recent firing.
O’Donnell’s tweet, from December 20, 2016 read: “FIRE COMEY.”
The tweet ostensibly referenced consternation among some Democrats who believed Comey’s public comments about an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server cost her the White House.
“Rosie, we finally agree on something,” Trump tweeted Thursday.
O’Donnell later told MSNBC that Trump’s tweet was “a clear indication of his seriously declining mental health.”
The tweet was just another wrinkle in the decade-long feud Trump and O’Donnell have had, which precedes Trump’s career in politics and dates back to a disagreement about the handling of an incident involving one of Trump’s beauty queens.
Here are the exchanges between O’Donnell and Trump over the years.
It started in 2006 when the reigning Miss USA, Tara Conner, was accused of drug-use. Trump called a press conference to discuss her fate, where he decided not to take her crown.
Rosie O’Donnell was not happy with that decision. As a co-host on ABC’s “The View,” O’Donnell slammed Trump, bringing up his bankruptcy allegations, his multiple marriages, and called him a “snake-oil salesman.”
Trump wasn’t happy about that. He fired back in People magazine, calling O’Donnell “a real loser” and “a woman out of control.” He threatened to sue her and said he looked forward “to taking lots of money from my nice, fat little Rosie.”
