Rosie O'Donnell Thinks Donald Trump Has Been 'Doing Bad Things' With His Daughter Ivanka Trump

Rosie O’Donnell is not a fan of President Donald Trump – and she has some concerns about his relationship with his daughter, Ivanka Trump.

The 57-year-old comedian and former TV host spoke out on SiriusXM’s The Michelangelo Signorile Show on Wednesday (June 10).

During her appearance, Michelangelo discussed Trump potentially positioning Ivanka as a political player in the future.

“I don’t know what he’s doing with her,” she said.

“I think he’s been doing bad things with her for a very long time. There’s a creepy incest feel that is a very prevalent amongst Donald Trump and his children, at least as daughter. Very creepy. I don’t know. I think she’s like, you know, a talentless, non-intelligent, non-powerful woman. And, I think she’s — it’s laughable to think of her in any kind of public service role. No one in his family has ever been in public service. Why should they start now?”

Madonna Pays Tribute to First Gay Man She Met at GLAAD Media Awards

Madonna gives a speech while accepting the Advocate for Change Award at the 2019 GLAAD Media Awards on Saturday night (May 4) at the Hilton Midtown in New York City.

The 60-year-old entertainer paid tribute to the first gay man she ever met – her high school dance teacher.

“The first gay man I ever met was named Christopher Flynn,” she said (via People). “He was my ballet teacher in high school and he was the first person that believed in me. That made me feel special as a dancer, as an artist and as a human being. I know this sounds trivial and superficial but he was the first man to tell me that I was beautiful.”

“He took me to my first gay club in downtown Detroit. I told my dad I was having a sleepover at a girlfriend’s house — that got me grounded for the rest of the summer,” she added.

Madonna‘s award was presented to her by Rosie O’Donnell, Anderson Cooper, and Mykki Blanco.

Rosie was joined on the red carpet by her girlfriend Elizabeth Rooney.

Rosie O'Donnell Claims Whoopi Goldberg Was 'As Mean As Anyone Has Ever Been' to Her on 'The View'

In the new book “Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View,” former co-host Rosie O’Donnell alleges that Whoopi Goldberg was brutally mean to her.

Whoopi Goldberg was as mean as anyone has ever been on television to me, personally — while I was sitting there,” she said in the book (via People). “Worse than Fox News. The worst experience I’ve ever had on live television was interacting with her.”

“Some people would say, ‘What’s going on with you and Whoopi?’” Rosie continued. “I was like, ‘Are you watching the show? It’s pretty much right there.’ I have no desire for a public feud.”

She did, however, say she still respects Whoopi.

“She’s a minority, feminist, smart, funny, groundbreaking legend who is black in America,” Rosie added. “I’m never going to not have respect for Whoopi Goldberg. But that was a painful experience, personally and professionally.”

Rosie O'Donnell Admits Crush on Former 'View' Co-Host Elisabeth Hasselbeck & Elisabeth Issues a Response

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is responding to Rosie O’Donnell‘s comments.

If you missed it, Rosie said she had a “little bit of a crush” on her former The View co-host.

“I think there were underlying lesbian undertones on both parts,” Rosie said (via Variety). “I think this is something that will hurt her if you write it. She was the MVP of a Division 1 softball team for two years that won the finals. There are not many, in my life, girls with such athletic talent on sports teams that are traditionally male that aren’t at least a little bit gay. There was a little bit of a crush. But not that I wanted to kiss her. I wanted to support, raise, elevate her, like she was the freshman star shortstop and I was the captain of the team. I was going to Scottie Pippen her. If I was Jordan, I was going to give her and the ball and let her shoot. But it was in no way sexualized.”

Elisabeth read Rosie‘s comments and responded on Tuesday morning (March 26) on Fox & Friends, saying, “I’d like to be able to say that I didn’t, but I read that. I’ll be very honest. I read it and I immediately started praying. Because I’m like, how am I going to handle this in my old self would be another split screen moment, but now I really feel like by God’s grace I just started praying — and I pray now the Holy Spirit gives me the words to articulate this — but I think it can be addressed with both truth and grace.”

“There would be an objectification of women in the workplace…So that is disturbing and it’s wrong. And whether you’re a man or whether you’re a woman, and you’re objectifying women in the workplace, it’s wrong,” she continued.
