Watch part two of Wolf's interview with Donald Trump.

(CNN) — Outspoken real estate mogul Donald Trump set his sights on long-time journalist Dan Rather in the second part of his interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday.

“Dan Rather’s a loser. Dan Rather had low ratings for years,” said Trump when asked for his opinion on the former network anchorman’s $70 million lawsuit against CBS. “I used to say, whoever represents Rather does a great job, because he always was in third place, he always had terrible ratings, and they wouldn’t fire him.”

Rather declined to comment on Trump's remarks when contacted by CNN.

Who cares what Trump has to say about anyone or anything? What a bag of wind.

Henry Tucker, Ga   September 25th, 2007 7:18 pm ET

A great Confucious saying:

JD, SA, TX   September 25th, 2007 7:18 pm ET

Who really cares what this idiot has to say.

David, New York, NY   September 25th, 2007 7:19 pm ET

How many times has Donald Trump come perilously close to total ruin? Oh yeah…

sad   September 25th, 2007 7:20 pm ET

Something's wrong with my web browser. I put in CNN's internet address and it sent me to Entertainment Tonight.

S. Jennette - Houston Texas   September 25th, 2007 7:26 pm ET

Donald TYrump is a loser himself and has no basis to make statements about anyone else. These types of comments should not be exposed by the news since this is the only way for him to be in front of the camera. Mr. Trump mentions that he has sold all of his projects out in the US and continues to build in other countries and is doing well. I am curious how the flow of funds are taxed in the us or is he again evading the system? Give me a break he could not win the battle with Rosie and now has to pick on a senior, Whatever !

Tom Dedham, Mass   September 25th, 2007 7:28 pm ET

I get it, this "genius" hammers Bush and he is brilliant, he takes that has been "storyteller" Rather apart and he is a wind bag.

I think he is an arrogant jerk either way.

Canada: Canada   September 25th, 2007 7:29 pm ET

This man DT is a complete and total idiot
Why do we even afford him our time and attention

amy, Bellevue, Washington   September 25th, 2007 7:35 pm ET

Hey CNN:

Please shoot me an email when you have something newsworthy to report. The inept ramblings of somebody like Donald Trump doesn't count. Just put that one in my junk box.

Raphael, Los Angeles, CA   September 25th, 2007 7:39 pm ET

You know, I actually respected Trump and used to watch his show regularly. Now he's picking on good ol Dan Rather? Trump needs to keep his mouth shut until he has something substantial to say. His show is canceled and he's desperately looking for a spotlight…in comes CNN.

zmartmoney, Round Rock, Texas   September 25th, 2007 7:41 pm ET

It's interesting to hear the opinion of another media-dependent celebrity. Rarely do they say how they really feel in public. Alas, Mr. Trump feels no restraint in confessing his lack of admiration for someone I've been trying to ignore for decades. I don't know about the "loser" title, but Rather is certainly a presumptuous and egotistical man. Journalist? I think not. He never reported the news, he wanted to "be" the news. Now he is.

DeepThroat   September 25th, 2007 7:43 pm ET

psst.., I have some documents about Dan's service in Vietnam. Their about how he glorified small enemy encounters to "Produce" his war reports.

psst.., the documents are fake but that's OK. We know its the truth, take my word on it..

Hal, cleveland heights oh   September 25th, 2007 7:52 pm ET

Here here…Thank you Donald on exposing the Liberal Left Media !!

John, Lanark, Illinois   September 25th, 2007 7:58 pm ET

Trump has become as pathetic as his comb-over. He will say anything for publicity now that his brief stint with television is over. I believe this guy has filed more than one corporate bankruptcy in order to hang on to his money…and he still can't tell a loser from a winner. He has lowered himself to making tabloid comments about people just to get a few minutes in the spotlight. Trump, you look ridiculous, and have a mouth to match.

N.DeSocio Syracuse,NY   September 25th, 2007 8:04 pm ET

If Donald Trump is such a winner,Why doesn't he have his hair fixed?It looks
awful.Walking around with a comb over doesn't lend itself to any credibility at all.

alan vince, San Antonio Texas   September 25th, 2007 8:06 pm ET

Forgive me, but Trump is incapable of recognizing integrity since he is a person of limited capacities. He is simply a JOKE! That this guy even gets the time of day is a sad commentary…

dot new richmond wi   September 25th, 2007 8:08 pm ET

He is a loser and only pick on young women who are looking for money, because even at my age money or no money i wouldn't give him a second look. I think he is arrogant, and a dirty old man

Jeanette Mitchell   September 25th, 2007 8:10 pm ET

Donald Trump is the looser, And who give's a crap what he say's.

Randall Seefeldt   September 25th, 2007 8:10 pm ET

Mr. Blitzer, were all the meaningful, relevant interviews for today already taken? Trump is a vapid, classless blowhard whose only assets are a shameless need for self-promotion and a mystifyingly titanic ego. He will be remembered, if at all, as the Anna Nicole Smith of the business world.

CNN, please, let's not confuse The Situation Room for Inside Edition again.

Ken Brown, Altus, OK   September 25th, 2007 8:14 pm ET

Donald Trump seems to think everyone is a loser…he needs to look in the mirror sometime.

T_Hawk   September 25th, 2007 8:19 pm ET

It's becomming increasingly obvious that most if not all wealthy individuals in this country, and probably the world, stole their money through various schemes, bribes and other means. So I'm unimpressed with the Donald's comments. His accumulations reflect nothing positive about his character. IsThisReallyNews

Deen, Brooklyn NY   September 25th, 2007 8:32 pm ET

I like what everyone is saying. Why is Trump's comments so important? He cried when Rosie made fun of him calling her a "bully" and now he follows in her footsteps. The Trumpster should not be talking about having low ratings. Look what happened to his own show and when he tried to include Martha in the mix. He lost and lost big.

Paul Torgison   September 25th, 2007 8:33 pm ET

I guess to some people it's still only about money, not integrity. Are you surprised that Donald Trump doesn't get it? And really who cares about what he has to say? I guess CNN!!!!! So what kind of a comment is that about CNN? Try going back to reporting real news, pleassseeeeee!!!

trish topeka,kansas   September 25th, 2007 8:35 pm ET

Gosh, doesn`t "The Donald" know that it takes one to know one???

Ryan, Burnsville, NC   September 25th, 2007 8:37 pm ET

Why is this on the political ticker? Last time I checked, neither Dan Rather nor Donald Trump were running for political office.

Johnny, canada   September 25th, 2007 8:48 pm ET

At one time Trump also thought he was much better than Mark Cuban. If people acted like that in the business world, 99% would fail. I think he just got lucky.

Seth Powell, Greensboro, North Carolina   September 25th, 2007 8:53 pm ET

Who CARES what Donald Trump thinks? Just because he is Mr. Rich Money Man doesn't make him God or an expert on ALL things. Please consider this in future articles on him.

RSF, Phoenix AZ   September 25th, 2007 8:53 pm ET

I will go on record in support of Trump. I don't think Trump's goal is to be liked by people, he's more the arch-villain.

Rather is sour grapes too late. A real statement would of been to resign-then sue.

This delayed suit speaks more to Rather's ego than the class he hopes to restore through ligation. Gentlemen take their multimillion doller news careers and retire gracefully on their ranch…

hfisher, Phoenix, AZ   September 25th, 2007 9:02 pm ET

Why do people keep interviewing Trump and give him the spot light?

Christian, Tampa FL   September 25th, 2007 9:08 pm ET

Donald Trump's a loser. Why does he get to have so much money?

Rich   September 25th, 2007 9:10 pm ET

Trump is a loser!

Ayveel, Dallas   September 25th, 2007 9:24 pm ET

Donald Trump is wrong for his comments. Donald Trump has ran companies into bankruptcy so many times that Wikipedia can't even get the count right.

While Donald has made a lot of money, he has made it mostly by avoiding paying companies he owes. What a way to make money, what a loser.

Dan was good for what he is worth. Even though Dan was in third, so what? Katie is in third. But you don't hear these talks about not paying her $15 million a year.

If I was Dan, I would sue for $70 million to. CBS ran his name through the mud for what isn't even relevant. Who cares about President Bush's service record? I promise you, that did not have an effect on voters. CBS is just made the a Republican might actually look good on liberal channel.

Donald, you are a loser. You place your face on everything not realizing that America doesn't want to see it. If you don't think so, check "The Apprentice" ratings.

Niki, Boca Raton, FL   September 25th, 2007 9:26 pm ET

I just think with all the money in the world that Donald Trump has no class. Actually have never had class.

People with class keep quiet about stupid comments like this…He just wants to make a show of himself and be noticed.

Has anyone every seen his really tacky condo in NY. Geez! what is with all the ugly gold fixtures. Get some class you loser!! Style too!!! You can really tell he came from nothing.

Anyway, he really does not have much of an education. All the money and still and dufus.

Donald you would be better off if you displayed decorum.

Nah! would never happen…its the Donald.

Herbert Richmond, Va   September 25th, 2007 9:27 pm ET

Real journalism does not take ratings into consideration. Thats the problem with corporate media.

J Murray, Phx, AZ   September 25th, 2007 9:28 pm ET

Why do people continue to ask Donald Trump for his opinion? WHO CARES what he thinks!

Loyda, WDC   September 25th, 2007 9:29 pm ET

neither The duck nor the ex-reporter are running for public office…. WHY, oh, WHY, oh WHY is this in the ticker??????

Bruce, Franklin, TN   September 25th, 2007 9:39 pm ET

He's got an opinion just like the rest of us. You can call Trump names all you want, but his opinion counts just as much as anyone posting on this blog. Who's to say who's right in their analysis?

By the way, I don't particularly care what he has to say, either. But no one should belittle him for having an opinion.

Anonymous   September 25th, 2007 9:39 pm ET

I wonder sometimes how Mr. Trump manages any success in the business world. I also wonder how he manages to lead - because he certainly doesn't know how to lead by example. Sometimes luck paves the road for success.

Doug, Owensboro, Ky   September 25th, 2007 9:41 pm ET

When, exactly did Donald Trump become a sage?

Jackie, Miami, FL   September 25th, 2007 9:42 pm ET

People…please tell me you're kidding!! He did what?? What a total loser!!

Why can't he just shut up and act like he has class.

He just goes to show that Dan Rather is the bigger man.

I now see why people hate him so much. Nothing nice come sout of this mans mouth.

I wonder how long this marriage will last. Oh, that depends on her prenup.

Mark Schneider from Ohio   September 25th, 2007 9:48 pm ET

I don't know why Donald has to hate on Dan. When has Dan ever ripped on him? Anyways, Dan has risked his life to tell other peoples' story. When has Donald ever done anything for the American people, besides producing a B-E-Autiful daughter?

Robert, Shelton CT   September 25th, 2007 9:49 pm ET

Its sad when people care what Donald Trump thinks…he has filed for bunkruptcy on his casinos a dozen times now.

James, Akron Ohio   September 25th, 2007 9:51 pm ET

Trump… is a loser himself. He is constantly making fun of people, calling them names that deserves no responses, and models himself after only himself. I think we all should just shut the book on Donald and tell him what he can do with his words and his millions, flush it down the toilet along with his attitude - it will all go down the drain the same!

My question is… who is Donald to call anyone a loser, fat, out of shape, etc. I mean look at the hair style! OUCH!

trish, hickory, nc   September 25th, 2007 9:53 pm ET

It is sad that the merits of Rather's case are being lost, which have to do with a free and uncensored press. The truth to Rather's story, regarding War-time President Bush's own military record, are not in dispute as much as the fact that the documents were tainted. Too bad the GOP folks applauded the Bush/Cheney/Wolfowitz/Rumsfeld war machine as it sent our young people to die, when neither they, nor their offspring ever committed to a military cause.

Jim, Tampa, Florida   September 25th, 2007 10:02 pm ET

I fart in Wolf Blitzer and his idiot producer's general direction for even putting this vacuous rich kid twit on the air.

max, Austin, TX   September 25th, 2007 10:14 pm ET

Word, Tom…you nailed it. Apparently, Trump is brilliant until he knocks someone you like.

The Donald, like his opinion, is irrelevant.

Anne, Gatesville,TX   September 25th, 2007 10:18 pm ET

What gives DT the right to pass judgment on anyone? He needs to get his own house in order.

Jeff Spangler, Arlington, VA   September 25th, 2007 10:25 pm ET

I agree that Rather was a chronic third stringer, and I didn't like his style, but I don't think that merits being called a "loser" by a greedhead rich kid like Trump whose own communication skills consist of pompous blowhard tirades.

De Long, Richland, WA.   September 25th, 2007 10:28 pm ET

Mr Trump needs to get off His soapbox and quit giving his personal opinion about politicians and and Mr. Rather, actually, I believe most don't care to hear his thoughts. I don't believe he lives in a glass house.

Jim Cullen, Hastings-on-Hudson New York   September 25th, 2007 10:33 pm ET

C'mon, CNN. We expect more from you. Surely the news cycles haven't been THAT light the last couple days.

Ryan, Grand Prairie Tx.   September 25th, 2007 10:34 pm ET

I loved the Apprentice. I grew to love and respect Donald Trump. However, he does not know how to quit when he's ahead. I agreed with his stance on Rosie. Unfortunately, after Rosie, he just kept talking. I'm done with Trump. At this point, he's the loser.

Marilyn Lester, Lakeland, FL   September 25th, 2007 10:36 pm ET

At least Dan Rather knows how to comb his hair. He also has a very good news show on HD Net. I would hardly call him a loser.

BR, Hitchcock, Texas   September 25th, 2007 10:37 pm ET

Donald Trump is a bitter old man with little or no self-confidence. Its so sad that making derogatory remarks about other celebrities makes Trump feel good about himself.

Besides, Rather knows how to comb his hair.

John from Cinncinati   September 25th, 2007 10:39 pm ET

Why is this on the political ticker???

Robert West   September 25th, 2007 10:47 pm ET

Wow! He called him a loser?!
Next, The Donald might even knock Little Danny down on the playground and steal his lunch money!
"Neener neener Donald Schmanold!
cause I am not a baby!"
"Are to."
A million "are to's."

Ron Franscell, Beaumont TX   September 25th, 2007 10:48 pm ET

A few questions: Why was CNN asking Donald Trump about Dan Rather? How does Donald Trump's opinion move the needle? Are there a whole bunch of CNN viewers out there basing their journalistic and political opinions on what The Donald has to say?

Oh, and a fourth question: Is "loser" Trump's all-purpose description for anyone he dislikes? He applied it to his archnemesis Rosie O'Donnell, too. You'd think a billionaire who loves the limelight would have a larger vocabulary.

Just askin', is all.

Halley, Asheville, NC   September 25th, 2007 10:50 pm ET

Donald Trump's a loser.
Plain and simple

Dan, florida   September 25th, 2007 10:54 pm ET

this coming from a guy on his 3rd marriage. Not to mention Trump started off with a few million bucks from his dad to "get him started". Thats right I read the art of the deal many many years ago Donnie boy

Max, Boston, MA   September 25th, 2007 10:58 pm ET

Why is Rather now Trump's new target? Is it because he's more level competition now that they both aren't on TV?

John, Los Angelees, California   September 25th, 2007 11:19 pm ET

I am not a big fan of The Donald, but he is right on the money about Dan Rather. I watched Rather's lame justification for his lawsuit against CBS on Larry King Live and felt more pity for him than anything else. He was the most wooden of the network newsreaders, and his only claim to fame was his confrontation George Bush Sr, whom he obviously had a personal grudge against. Rather has this wholly unwarranted sense of self-importance and significance as a broadcast journalist. Let it go, Dan. It's over.

Christy Arnold AZ   September 25th, 2007 11:21 pm ET

Okay, who squeezed Trump's head? He said he got to speak in public? I sure didn't get the memo….

Rebecca, Sacramento, CA   September 25th, 2007 11:22 pm ET

Ironic he can call Dan Rather a loser, but he is supposed to be a real estage mogul that filed bankruptcy. How is that for loser?

Evan, Greensboro, NC   September 25th, 2007 11:26 pm ET

Hahahahaha…

Oh Donald, you're old and at the end of the rope, and we all know it.

John, La Jolla, CA   September 25th, 2007 11:46 pm ET

I used to think Donald Trump was the second most overexposed person on the planet behind Oprah but after hearing his smack on Rosie O'Donnell I now give the man total respect.

DV Yates, Seattle Washington   September 25th, 2007 11:54 pm ET

I wish real news providers wouldn't give this kind of trash a platform for more publicity. Seems that the losers here are Trump, CNN, and me for even reading this story. Where is real news anymore?

E. C., Houston, Texas   September 25th, 2007 11:56 pm ET

SO…when did we miss Trump's Coronation… 'King, Judge of All?' If one doesn't believe this guy has early onset Dementia, better start listening up! Trump is losing it…day by day…and word by word! Each time Trump makes another 'riveting world statement,' he verbalizes and conveys less sense and appears less conscious than during his last earth-shaking comment. Obviously, Trump needs a Doctor, not a microphone.

Eric Smith, Albany, NY   September 26th, 2007 12:00 am ET

Why are CNN viewers even being subjected to this C List celebrity rant? If Trump had ever accomplished anything that came close to Rather's reporting from Vietnam, then he might even deserve a shred of respect. Sadly, Trump seems to only make his fame these days from stomping on others. Disturbing that he's given a platform by news outlets of CNN's stature.

John Indianapolis, In   September 26th, 2007 12:12 am ET

its easy to judge from the cheap seats, a real estates famous quote "duh, I bought it for 10 and sold it for 20″

Bruce, Seattle, WA   September 26th, 2007 12:17 am ET

Why is the media constantly soliciting this moron's opinion. This is a guy who doesn't know how to run a comb through his hair. He undoubtedly wears loafers so he can avoid the confusion and complexities entailed in the whole shoe-lace tying protocol. And he doesn't like hand-shaking because he suffers from a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder regarding microbes.

OK. He doesn't like shoe-laces, combs, microbes and Dan Rather. I guess that's what makes morons a news-worthy item.

Bruce

DRW   September 26th, 2007 12:23 am ET

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Thats all I have to say to Trump. He's on his way out anyway.

Jay, Alexandria, VA   September 26th, 2007 12:29 am ET

Ummm… when did Donald Trump become a reputable source for political commentary? I'm not sure what I hate more - the fact that he won't shut his mouth or the fact that CNN keeps acting like he matters.

Keli   September 26th, 2007 12:47 am ET

WOW!…..Does this means he has no respect for Dan Rather, or he's calling 'A spade A spade?'

Keli   September 26th, 2007 12:50 am ET

One more point to follow up against my last comment, is it possible Trump or some of his close friends are invested in CBS, and are taking the defense side to his lawsuit? Because, I can't understand what put trump into the hott seat against Dan. Dan, is a great PERSON, MORE IMPORTANTLY OVER-ACCOMPLISHED!

Eddie Spielman, New York, New York   September 26th, 2007 1:00 am ET

It really goes to show you that all the money in the world cannot buy class! From his public feud with Rosie O'Donnell to these types of cheap shots at a legendary news journalist like Dan Rather it is really lame. He sounds like a seven year old school yard bully. Not like a successful businessman. How could anyone call Dan Rather a "loser"?

Judy Greenwald, Tolleson, ARizona   September 26th, 2007 1:04 am ET

Donald Trump is a jerk. Whatever he has to say is useless, stupid and irrelant. I wish he would take his ugly fish face and terrible comb over and disappear!!

Michael, Indianapolis, Indiana   September 26th, 2007 1:07 am ET

I teach middle school. I would expect my students to resort to calling each "losers." I'm glad that Trump cannot trump the insults of a 12 year old child.

Don Fitzgerald, Chicago   September 26th, 2007 1:08 am ET

Dan Rather makes more sense when he is a sleep, than Trump makes in his entire waking life. He's a hukster, but he has no game.

r.james   September 26th, 2007 1:08 am ET

Idiots………. all of them.

Geoff, Long Beach CA.   September 26th, 2007 1:15 am ET

Actually got a good laugh out of this. Dan Rather is grandstanding and totally trying to sluff off his responsibility for an erroneous report. Take the heat and move on like a professional Dan! He could have nailed Mr. Bush on any number of things yet he chose a story with more holes than a piece of swiss cheese. Dan you deserved to be canned, hope he loses his suit.

Dianne Gage, Spokane, WA   September 26th, 2007 2:15 am ET

Donald Trump is the actual loser. He has a big mouth and an idiot's ego.
Unlike Donald Trump, Dan Rather was always a honest, sincere, and believeable public figure.

Indep MO   September 26th, 2007 2:17 am ET

Who cares what Trump thinks. I just wish CNN and MSM would give a 1/3 of the time to someone Id really like to hear, like Ron Paul. The only time this guy makes the news is when hes calling someone something. What a waste of good air.

Michele, NY   September 26th, 2007 2:37 am ET

The only "loser" here is you Donald Trash oh I'm sorry I ment Trump. Is your self-esteem that low you have to talk down to everyone? If you want to talk down to people why don't you talk down to that air head wife of yours then maybe just maybe you'll feel better about yourself. Hey Donald two word just for you and I'm sure half if not all of america if not the world will agree with me "YOUR FIRED" you arrogant loser. So why don't you keep your pie hole shut nobody wants to hear it.

Ann, Los Angeles, CA   September 26th, 2007 2:49 am ET

Mr. Trump isn't the first man to go through the middle-age crisis and make a total fool of himself. He used to have some credibility, and, his outspoken personality had always been entertaining. But, he must have thought that money would entitle him from having to get old, like everyone else. Taking it out on the likes of Rosie, Dan Rather, etc. is a cry of desperation. Mr. Trump, you will live forever, and need to find that truth through a spiritual path. Re: Dan Rather, I would ask why Pres. Bush refused to clear up the matter. Could he be ashamed of himself?

David, Hilo, HI   September 26th, 2007 3:05 am ET

This. Is. Not. News.

Merr, San Diego, CA   September 26th, 2007 3:10 am ET

Is everybody getting tired of Donald Trump saying everyone is a loser? Does anyone care WHAT he says anymore. I feel kinda sorry for his pretty wife because can you imagine having to live with that narcissistic SOB?

Mark, Minneapolis, MN   September 26th, 2007 3:16 am ET

How are his political opinions relevant to anything? No one is listening to him but CNN. Get a clue.

uninterested in IA   September 26th, 2007 4:05 am ET

Ho hum…..'nother slow news day, folks?

uninterested in IA   September 26th, 2007 4:09 am ET

Slow new day, huh? Who gives an aviational intercourse what THIS jerk thinks about anything?

Tony, Enterprise, Alabama   September 26th, 2007 4:22 am ET

Donald Trump…Rosie was right, the real loser is THE Donald (who started the THE Donald?…probably him).

The man least qualified in America to judge a loser calls Dan Rather a loser?

I agree with previous comments, who cares?

Judy (Muscatine, IA)   September 26th, 2007 4:53 am ET

Why does CNN constantly run behind this pathetic piece of crap, reporting all of his utterances as though the world is just waiting to hear his pearls of wisdom?!!!

Review many of these comments CNN and take note. We really do not care one iota what this shallow windbag has to say about anything! Stick to reporting important news…not tabloid garbage. This really is beneath you. Shame on Wolf Blitzer and Larry King for chasing after this worthless clown.

And to the immature Mr. Donnie Trump: Nobody cares at all about your self-centered opinions on any topic, so stay in your little kingdom away from normal people and shut up!

Judy (Muscatine, IA)

Rob Field, Maitland FL   September 26th, 2007 5:03 am ET

How can Dan Rather be a loser? He has represented America, he has focused on issues that needed to be heard! Ratings are important in sales, but his drive to bring out the truth is what he should be judged on… He has done a great job of giving the viewers an excellent slice of the new.

Marion Nolan, Palo Alto, CA   September 26th, 2007 5:09 am ET

Obviously, all the money in the world cannot buy Donald Trump any class.

Marc Shiller   September 26th, 2007 5:21 am ET

I think Trump is a loser. He's got all this money in the world but I always see him degrading people. We'll see who grows up old and lonely. Oh wait he can just buy someone but hey nothing he'll have will be genuine so who is really the loser?

Linden NJ   September 26th, 2007 5:23 am ET

lol, his ratings were higher than his stupid show. How those casino's in A.C. doing chump.

Denny Fulton, St Robert, MO   September 26th, 2007 5:41 am ET

This DT is someone who should really be talking about someone else. What a loser.

Neal Kalamazoo, Mi   September 26th, 2007 6:06 am ET

Donald Trump thinks Dan Rather is a "loser". Wow. I'm so much richer for having CNN enlighten me on this subject. Tell me again why this is worthy of Wolf's time on the cable NEWS network?

SpeakOutAmerica   September 26th, 2007 6:30 am ET

Where did Trump´s TV show end up?
Enough of CNN giving this idiot air time.

LM, New Jersey   September 26th, 2007 6:42 am ET

Donald Trump so easily calls people losers. Maybe he's an authority on the subject?

Lynda   September 26th, 2007 6:49 am ET

A loser Donald… is someone who thinks 'ratings' are everything. Most normal,everyday,people in the world think Donald Trump is a mouthy arrogant loser, who contributes nothing to society. Sorry Donny money isnt everything including your donations for self profit.Words count as well and none of what you have to say in your public light is worthy of anything to better this world. Stop embarassing yourself and stick to real estate. Ugh Your poor mother. Deep down she must be ashamed.

Mary, Beaver, PA   September 26th, 2007 7:03 am ET

The Donald has it right on this one. Rather would have been well advised to retire years ago when he was still pulling ratings and still receiving respect. It's always best to bow out gracefully before you outstay your welcome.

Scotty, Ocala, Florida   September 26th, 2007 7:03 am ET

Mr. Trumps marital record makes his comments about anyone else ridiculous.
This man is a pig, who, if it wasn't for his Father, would be putting shingles on a roof somewhere.

To Donald Trump everyone is a loser, so why is this a news story again?

Really if I wanted to hear what he thought, it would be because he would find a way to get us out of this mess and since he is not, this is not worth my time.

Scott, Cincinnati, OH   September 26th, 2007 7:20 am ET

Trump seems to enjoy name-calling. very mature of him.

Tired of the crap   September 26th, 2007 7:23 am ET

I couldn't agree more with everyone's comments so far. I live in South Florida near Trump's home and most people here feel he is a good business man but a complete moron when it comes to opening his mouth. Donald, please stop spewing your nonsense. We have all had ENOUGH.

Rob, Charlotte, North Carolina   September 26th, 2007 7:24 am ET

Aren't we tired of this hack. He claims fame by attacking others- it's his tried and true tactic for recognition.

Nathan, Boise, ID   September 26th, 2007 7:29 am ET

Why are people still paying attemtion to what this moron has to say? This is news??…

Peter   September 26th, 2007 7:34 am ET

So glad that ratings are all that matter to Trump. No discussion of journalistic skills or reputation. I suppose when "Gilligan's Island" was the number one TV show in America, Trump would have used this fact to illustrate that the show was a cinematic masterpiece.

AJ; Montpelier, VT   September 26th, 2007 7:48 am ET

This from a man who has filed for bankruptcy how many times??

chris,texas   September 26th, 2007 7:48 am ET

I don't even like when he slagged Bush as a Loser, and Bush is and has been a Loser. This guy is such a Loser that I almost love whoever he calls a Loser. He could almost revive anyone in the polls by calling them a Loser. Does he have the Loser's equivalent to the Midas Touch? Someone take him off TV please.

Ed,Ellenville,New York   September 26th, 2007 7:50 am ET

Canada,I think you mean TD ,not DT,but he's just a child anyway.Ignore him.

Konnie Chung King   September 26th, 2007 8:04 am ET

uhhhh….yeah. Dan has always been a loser, (holding on to a pole during a hurricane in the 90's….sheeezzz)
but the sad fact here is that the comb over king tops Dan in every category of the term loser. Your fired Donald! Now…, go pick a new wife from your private reserve…, the miss USA pageant.

Kim Jones Richmond Va   September 26th, 2007 8:05 am ET

Donald Trump is a drama magnet.
Why must he have any input as to whose a loser and who's a winner.

If he was so great at calling people as they really are, "Why hasn't he told the people Bush needs to be Impeached?"

Is he part of the Corporate mercenary for Hire over Resources and property seizure, that Conquering Bunch of Elitist that snub their noses and take for granted the things the poor are working so hard to maintain? Like Air? Water? and Beach Front property that people can no longer reach due to signs of "NO TRESSPASS"

It's a winner takes all theme that they chant and America, doesn't like the Corporate Tunes anymore.

"They're no longer playing our song"

Trump just wants the media attention. He's a loser!

Kathy Canfield, OH   September 26th, 2007 8:19 am ET

Trump needs to focus more attention on his own personal issues. This guy can't even see how ridiculous he LOOKS, let alone how ridiculous he sounds. Someone needs to muzzle this old dog!

Jeff from Jersey   September 26th, 2007 8:20 am ET

We afford him our time and attention because that's the only thing we can afford him and CNN doesn't have anything else to comment on this morning.You'd think he could afford some hair.He's now a walking info-mercial.
I'll give him this though,he had more money than the Catholic church,lost it all,then made it all back again even with his hig-priced divorce(s) and he still gets the babes.
Sadly,he's been right on the "money" about Bush and Rather.Dan Rather was never any good as a reporter and came across like a dead fish.I don't think Rather even has a personality.

Trebor C. Yocum; Seoul, Republic of Korea   September 26th, 2007 8:26 am ET

Who cares what Donald Trump thinks?? He is just a television hungry idiot with bad hair. I would like to see him anchor the CBS news.

Warren, Omaha Nebraska   September 26th, 2007 8:29 am ET

This guy is not impressive; to inherit as much money as he did and then pretentiously strut around as though he made brilliant investments to become a billionaire is absolute knavery. And, what more, with this interview we're supposed to care about his cultural opinions? Give me a break.

Melinda, Toronto, ON Canada   September 26th, 2007 8:31 am ET

I continue to wonder why CNN gives Trump the forum to spew his garbage about anyone and everyone. Who cares what that obnoxious pig thinks of anyone - he is irrelavent and is most certainly not news.

Janice Palmer, Katy, Texas   September 26th, 2007 8:32 am ET

Personally, when Dan Rather left CBS, I stopped watching the CBS Evening News and Switched to a competing network. And really Donald, isn't it a little like the "Pot calling the kettle black" by saying that Dan Rather was a loser?

Michelle in Asheville, NC   September 26th, 2007 8:33 am ET

Why is it news to print anything Donald Trump has to say about anyone? He is a loud mouth egomaniac famous for his shrewdness and rudeness. He verbally assaults people to create more free press for himself. And you took the bait. Shame on you.

Brandon   September 26th, 2007 8:34 am ET

Why do you continue to be a mouthpiece for sycophants such as Trump? I just thank God every day for the Internet and the rise of the independent bloggers, because the MSM has gone completely bonkers. First the collusion with the war profiteers, then you lurch to distracting us with 24/7 Britney coverage, and now you pretend to try and shape the 2008 election coverage with random quotes from third-rate TV gloams like Trump. Who is the one in charge of deciding what's "news" at CNN? I think People magazine might have an opening.

Mike B, Vabch VA   September 26th, 2007 8:35 am ET

It's funny how many people thought Trump was a genius for is words on Bush. I wonder if the same people care to comment on Trump's lovely words on their liberal leader Dan Rather.

Kate, Aurora CO   September 26th, 2007 8:36 am ET

I couldn't agree more with the majority of posts. This man is nothing but an egotistical moron. How many times has Dan Rather had to file for bankrupcy? How many times has Dan Rather been in the news for his cheating and then marrying a woman old enough to be his daughter? Like my mother always used to say, "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".

Deena Brewster, NY   September 26th, 2007 8:37 am ET

Donald Trump is the biggest loser, he threw his first wife away for his mistress, then he got rid of her after making her wife #2, now he is on his third attempt. He lacks morals and his family values cheapen our society. I wish he would just go away with his antics. Dan Rather declined to comment because he is a good guy and would never stoop to the gutter with Donald Trump.

SG   September 26th, 2007 8:37 am ET

What a moron. My question is why did CNN waste its time with him in the first place? The man is not relevant to anything…and here we are, another war being planned by Bush, and we're talking about DT.

Sean, Washington, DC   September 26th, 2007 8:39 am ET

Why is Donald Trump all of the sudden the authority on politics, news, media, culture, and life? And more importantly, why are we listening to him so closely? He's got labels and opinions for everyone. Dan Rather has been a reliable and credible institution in the world of journalism for over 40 years. One mistake shouldn't make or break his career. Tell Donald Trump to be quiet; maybe somebody should fire him.

Tiredofahatefulworld, West Milton, OH   September 26th, 2007 8:41 am ET

I have just always found Mr. Trump an anomaly who is occasionally entertaining. But of late, I've decided that the thing Donald Trump attempts to be "best" at is primarily character assassination. Anything or anyone he doesn't like, and they're on his TV circuit @#%* list. He is entitled to his opinion, but geeezzz. I'm not certain who made him the political/social poohbah of commentators, but I would like to have a discussion with that entity about their choice.

Beth Lauxen   September 26th, 2007 8:42 am ET

It is a sad state of affairs when the only journalist delivering real news and truth, uncomfortable or not, is totally unrecognized for his contribution, and entertainment-type news like what is produced from CNN is considered to be what America wants. Dan Rather's ratings reflect less on him than on CBS's failing to allow him to cover the real news and insist intead on absurb entertainment flib-flab.

Ron, Atlanta, GA   September 26th, 2007 8:45 am ET

I do not understand why this is in the political ticker. I heard this interview on CNN and Trump gave his opinion about a lot of political topics, but this section of the interview is not about politics and should not be in the ticker.

Jennifer Raponi, Toronto, Canada   September 26th, 2007 8:46 am ET

WHY the heck is Wolf even talking to him???????????????….he is a real estate guy….NOT a person of wordly interest!!!!!!!!!!…..enough of THAT LOSER TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!!

A. Puchkoris,Windsor,CT   September 26th, 2007 8:53 am ET

Donald Trump is a absolute idiot!
Dan Rather has been a highly respected man for many years!

Ken, Allentown, Pa   September 26th, 2007 8:56 am ET

Who cares what Trump has to say anyway? We should form our own opinions and not be influenced by people the media want us to think has an important message. Trump puts his pants on one leg at a time, just like everyone else. I guess if my Daddy left me millions of dollars you'd want my opinion to be heard also.

Jeff - Jacksonville, FL   September 26th, 2007 8:58 am ET

Not only is Trump a loser compared to Dan Rather, who never compromised his integrity during his career and reported the News. But Dan Rather's hair looks better too.

Could that be why Trump is picking on him?

Pat Terry Smyrna, GA   September 26th, 2007 9:00 am ET

Dan Rather's a loser? What in Mr. Trump's career compares to the years logged by Rather reporting from war zones, interviewing figures of national and international importance, not to mention his long tenure behind a network anchor desk? Give me a break.

glenda stoddard Vacaville, Ca   September 26th, 2007 9:01 am ET

hey at least dan rather has nice hair
just kidding……rather has always been a man of integrity…donnie doesn't have a clue what that is

Kevin Nashville, TN   September 26th, 2007 9:02 am ET

Good lord, this guy opens his mouth and stupid comes out. Does he say this stuff to just get in the news? I think so. First it was our lovable Rosie, now respected newsman Dan Rather. Next he will be picking on little Dakota Fanning.

gwen kovacs, peachtree city, ga   September 26th, 2007 9:03 am ET

Who does Donald Trump think he is? So he made money, big deal. Take the log out of your eye buddy. And before I take the one out of my eye, Donald Trump should be half the man Dan Rather is.

Ramu Ramaswami, Allentown,PA   September 26th, 2007 9:05 am ET

Look who is talking.

This guy when he was building Taj Mahal Casino, told old ladies that "investing in Donal Trump is investing in Diamond, value never goes down". Years later he told same old ladies that take it or leave 35 cents for $1 investment, else going to file for Bankruptcy, and he has guts to comment on a Honest News Caster and who made it all the way to top because of his honest newscast. I won't put a penny on Donald's comment. He is nothing but a clown.

Chip, Carmel, Indiana   September 26th, 2007 9:07 am ET

Donald Trump is brilliant.

If he ran for president, I'd seriously consider voting for him.

Debbie McMillan Carthage, Texas   September 26th, 2007 9:07 am ET

Donald Trump needs to keep his mouth shut. When he talks about things he knows nothing about, it really shows his ignorance. Unfortunately for him, that is quite alot. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Dan Rather was a scapegoat. Sad but true. He is a great reporter and always will be. It is sad at this point in his life, that this has happened.

Jeff - Jacksonville, FL   September 26th, 2007 9:08 am ET

And why is this story on the Political Ticker? I thought this was for POLITICAL news.

Ran, Indiananpolis, IN   September 26th, 2007 9:11 am ET

You've got to be kidding me, he gets his start by riding daddy's real estate coattails and has hid his and his companies failures in bankruptcy for 20 years. He ripped off American business, banks, bond holders and the public and people still give him a forum. He one of America's greatest conmen. Who is the loser.

Jason, NC   September 26th, 2007 9:13 am ET

Does Donald Trump have nothing better to do with his time than program hop and deprecate the celebrity de jour? Just recently he was on almost every TV network discussing how bad of a person Rosie is among other vitriolic comments…however the only one in their "feud" that resorted to extremely immature, odious and contemptible behavior was Trump. It seems he is taking one step lower these days by attacking the character of a man who has provided over 50 years of service reporting important events for our nation and the world. Seems as if this cycle of Donald’s poor behavior is a feeble and sad attempt to promote his own show’s ratings. Donald needs to find someone else to pick on…his slimy, childish tactics are no match for the character of Dan Rather. Donald was once someone that I admired and regarded as a successful professional, someone I had hoped to emulate. However, there is nothing professional about this man's current behavior and actions. His on air persona over the past few months appears to be that of an out of control, insecure, self obsessed, pathetic excuse of a man who makes me thankful that he is rich because he would not be able to survive otherwise.

Desert, Glendale, AZ   September 26th, 2007 9:14 am ET

Let me see if I have this straight. Donald Trump is calling Dan Rather a loser? Isn't that like the proverbial pot calling the kettle black? But more importantly, why is CNN wasting time on The Donald? Who cares what this yutz thinks or says?

Kelly Copeland   September 26th, 2007 9:16 am ET

Can someone please tell me why Mr. Trump has the impression that American care about his opinion. It is true that Trump has succeeded with financial wealth but I can assure him that there is wealth that he has no knowledge of. A solid relationship with a wife, a strong family relationship among many other things. (With all his money he cannot even buy a golf swing, I can beat with my eyes closed.
There is an authority that has formed the fabric of society from almost the beginning of time and the scripture tell me that ther is coming a day when the rich shall run to the hills for cover and from all indications to me, Mr. Trump on that day will tuck tail and instead of trashing other Americans on a forum that only his money can provide, he will have a problem that people of his character will have to deal with throughout the endless ages of eternity.

Sue K   September 26th, 2007 9:16 am ET

Donald Trump is an idiot and needs to shut his big yap for once. Who is he really anyway? So he is worth alot of money, big deal. Are his commentaries SO invaluable that we have to read about it on the NEWS? When there is actually REAL news out there, such as child abductions, a WAR, and murders going on around the world? I think not. Must be time for the new season of his 'show' to come out where he needs a rating boost. Put Rosie and Donald in the same ring together….I bet she'd beat the crap out of him, which is exactly what I think he deserves. (Not that I side with Rosie, but that was also an entire fiasco that I was tired of hearing about also)

Chris, Blacksburg, VA   September 26th, 2007 9:17 am ET

No one wants to hear what that pompous windbag has to say about anything. He can take his billions and buy himself a muzzle. Anyone who calls a guy like Dan Rather a loser obviously has some personal issues of his own to work through.

Bonita Brewster   September 26th, 2007 9:22 am ET

Evidently Mr DT has nothing better to do than bash innocent people. If he lived in the real world, I bet his tone would be alot different and he would have better things to bash, like people who think they are better than others!

Karen Bucyrus,ohio   September 26th, 2007 9:28 am ET

Looks like Trump will do anything to keep in the news. No one cares what he has to say. If you need a ratings boost, you're going about it the wrong way, Kermit the Frog would be more interresting.

Jack Heim, Ft. Worth TX   September 26th, 2007 9:29 am ET

I think the Bush Guard Documents put the period on the last paragraph of Dan Rather.

foote   September 26th, 2007 9:30 am ET

Guess who else has had low ratings for years yet for some reason remains on TV? Trump and the Apprentice, which should have been canceled a long time ago when everyone stopped caring (and watching).

It's really entertaining how delusional this guy is… for some reason he thinks he's relevant! I don't think it's possible for me to care less about what he has to say.

Srinivas, San Jose CA   September 26th, 2007 9:32 am ET

Bag of wind, indeed. Dan Rather was the best ever out there, and to this day there's nobody with his class. Trump is one of those wannabes, and his petty few billions have gone nowhere and the dude goes around trying to convince people he can teach them how to get rich. You are the loser, Trump.

Jess, Savannah, GA   September 26th, 2007 9:33 am ET

Donald Trump is an arrogant pr!ck.

Andy Hammar, Austin, Texas   September 26th, 2007 9:34 am ET

I rank Donald Trump up there with OJ and Brittany Spears. In the who cares column. He acts like the moral compass of the nation but is a poor business man could not even succeed as a casino owner. Mostly he puts bank in a postion they must back him or incurr major losses. It time we stopped listening to "The Donald" the real loser

Ahmad Refky, Chicago, Illinois   September 26th, 2007 9:34 am ET

I am very curious as to why a highly prestigious reporter like Wolf Blitzer would waste time interviewing Donald Trump about something Trump cannot by any means be considered an authority on. Was it a slow news day? CNN continues to lose journalistic integrity by "reporting" this garbage on a daily basis. Who cares?! Gives us real news. Maybe you need to broadcast your CNN International news in the US, it is much more interesting and worthy to watch than the fluff you call news in the US. And stop interviewing Trump.

pl. at the UN for a while.   September 26th, 2007 9:37 am ET

CNN, is time to pull this guy off the air and bury him in the ground. A money genius? A selfish idiot I would say.

Cathy, Haw River   September 26th, 2007 9:37 am ET

There is Trump Again saying something that was already said …. Mike Savage, from Savage Nation has already said this. I think Mr Trump hears something and he thinks he is so God like that he repeats what he heard and we are suppose to think he came up with it himself. The man is so self absorbed. This man has the money to do good in the world but he rather go on tv and repeat what he has heard someone else say. What an idiot

JC Topeka, KS   September 26th, 2007 9:41 am ET

Just more proof that Trump is irrelevent.

Raquel, Dallas, TX   September 26th, 2007 9:43 am ET

Chip you must be hitting the Pipe a little early Son. Donald Trump is the Biggest Loser, how many times has he been married? How many times has he filed Chapt 11? Don't deny it Donny Boy we all know you did. Wasn't your show cancelled? Stay home and count your money better yet, why don't you do some good with it. Look at Bill Gates, Warren Buffet..
Get a Clue

Cindy Faircloth, Newton, Ia   September 26th, 2007 9:43 am ET

DAN RATHER IS THE MOST CLASSY JOURNALIST WE HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. POOR DONALD TRUMP HAS TO TAKE SHOTS AT DAN RATHER TO REMAIN IN THE SPOTLIGHT. SINCE HIS SHOW WAS A LOSER AND ULTIMATELY CANCELLED BY NBC.

chuck Nashville TN   September 26th, 2007 9:45 am ET

Why does the media insist on putting this loser.. TRUMP on their programs? He has never accomplished anything on own, made more money off TV then "real estate mogul" which he is not.. just a PR hound.. so a bit less trumping for trumpie..pleaseeeeeeeeeeee and a lot of us remember Mr Rather from the NAM.. he was out there and a lot of pols never forgave him for telling it like it was.. which cut into their glorious little war..Rather has done more in one hour for nation then trump has in his life.. so please.. no more of that idiot trump…or does he have friends at CNN as no other reason to push him so much? And.. Mr Rather… thanks for truth about NAM..told from NAM… without you there would be another 59K names on that Wall..

Eric, Chicago, IL   September 26th, 2007 9:46 am ET

WHen will Donald's childish name calling not be news anymore?

Ron, TX   September 26th, 2007 9:47 am ET

A, Dallas Texas   September 26th, 2007 9:48 am ET

Seems Mr. Trump know he has no audience and is trying to drum up one. Best thing to do is not pay attention to him.

pete   September 26th, 2007 9:49 am ET

how many times has trump declared bankrupcy in his projects and lost money for investors? Who is the loser

B.C., Baltimore, MD   September 26th, 2007 9:49 am ET

Since when is anything Trump has to say newsworthy?? Why is CNN (which I consider a reputable source of information) interviewing someone like Trump anyway? Trump is a bag of wind and a bully. Without his money (and yes, he's managed somehow to duck disasters & come out on top) he'd be just another bad comb-over loser. The only thing he's good at is managing money. Let's keep him talking about what he's good at, and forbid his stupid opinions to fill valuable time & bandwidth.

Mike, Syracuse, NY   September 26th, 2007 9:50 am ET

As a Viet Nam veteran, I recall Mr. Rather's reporting from the combat zones. Where was Donald Trump hiding then? Probably somewhere with Dick Chaney. Talk about losers!

Mike, West Palm Beach, FL   September 26th, 2007 9:52 am ET

I think global warming scientists should look closer at all the hot air coming out of trump's mouth. Maybe if it were sewn shut the ice caps wouldn't melt so fast.

Oh yeah, we wouldn't have to hear him either. Two birds - one stone.

Charlene Deaver Olathe, KS   September 26th, 2007 9:53 am ET

Dan Rather and Donald Trump are total opposite. Dan Rather has class, integrity, compassion for seeking out the truth, and he is a genuine human being who has been very well respected as a journalist for over 40 years. I applaud his lawsuit because I think we are all going to learn a bit of truth before this is over. Now tell me, who made Trump a voice and who even cares what he thinks? Trump is the loser. And if you don't believe it, just look at his hair. He offers me nothing and in fact, when he shows up on the TV screen, my remote goes into action. Can't switch channels fast enough.
Many of us respect Dan Rather for who is and what he has done in the past 40 years. He has earned his position and he has earned my respect which is something DT will never have.

Ed Crawford, Poughkeepsie NY   September 26th, 2007 9:55 am ET

A few years ago, CNN had at least SOME standards in what they would cover. Your continued coverage of people like Donald Trump shows just how far you've fallen. Too bad….

DO, Calgary, Alberta   September 26th, 2007 9:56 am ET

Trump is the loser. First is was Rosie, then Elizabeth, then Barry Manilow, now Dan Rather, who's next? I have never seen someone so arogant in my entire life. Just shut up already!

Doug, Duluth, GA   September 26th, 2007 10:02 am ET

Remember the saying 'what goes around comes around'? Dan Rather saw it come around to him for being instrumental in the firing of Walter Cronkite so he should pay CBS for the opportunity to make a fool of himself. As for Trump, what a wind bag full of himself. CNN and Wolf Blitzer are either going through slow news days or running out of guests who will grant an interview

Nate, Detroit MI   September 26th, 2007 10:04 am ET

CNN, Please take Trump off your website. Your contributing to the stupidity of America. People read whats in the American Media (unfortunatly), which are tainted and twisted by politics and lobbyists. Stop lining your pockets and report important current events.

E. C., Houston, Texas   September 26th, 2007 10:09 am ET

Not a word Trump utters should ever be classified as 'newsworthy.' To list any philanthropy Trump offers to the World would be interesting, but still not newsworthy.
Shame on CNN!

Kaye, Owensboro Ky   September 26th, 2007 10:10 am ET

Donald Trump needs to shut up!Just because he is very rich does not mean that he has any sense or morals. He is about one of the most arrogant people I have ever seen. He puts his pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else, get off your high horse!! Donald..walk a couple of days in the shoes of "normal" people and than maybe your opinions might not be so ill thought out! That would probably be a good television show. Put Donald on the real streets selling average real estate. See how far his arrogance takes him. Average and Arrogant, probably not too far!

A Chicago IL   September 26th, 2007 10:10 am ET

I just wish people would stop asking him his opinion. Stop giving him the podium to stand on the he so desparatley seeks.

Sheila, Orangeburg, SC   September 26th, 2007 10:15 am ET

Forgive me my need to state the obvious and already mentioned…but:
Why is this on the Political Ticker? I look to CNN as one of the last reputable sources for news and info. This is a waste of space…I'm crying on the inside…I really am.

Mary J.   September 26th, 2007 10:17 am ET

It appears to me that CNN is really hurting for NEWS these days…I mean, what is up with all this garbage??

Clean up your act CNN.

Jerry, New York, NY   September 26th, 2007 10:23 am ET

CNN continually finds new lows. Amazing that this is a link off the main page. Amazing that it is on CNN at all.

Nancy, Charlote, NC   September 26th, 2007 10:24 am ET

Donald Trump is a very successful businessman. He is also quite a "name caller"! Rosie O'Donnell…the names he used to describe her were horrible and it showed us that he lacks class and is really a caustic, nasty man. Now, let's pick on Dan Rather! Who died and left him God?? He should learn to enjoy his wealth and find some inner peace and happiness so that he doesn't find his fun in name calling and brat like behavior. What an example he is!!!

Cleo, Sarasota, FL   September 26th, 2007 10:25 am ET

CHUMP called Dan Rather a loser?! Get a mirror, Donnie.

John, Webster, NY   September 26th, 2007 10:25 am ET

Why should I, or anyone else, really care what Donald trump says?

GMP Boston, MA   September 26th, 2007 10:31 am ET

You would think Trump would have better things to than continue to run around name calling like a 4th grade bully. What does he care what Rather does or doesn't do. Why does the media think WE care what trump has to say, Next to Jesse Jackson and Paris Hilton, Trump is the biggest media- dominator out there. He needs to live his own life and figure out whats missing there, because he seems too involved and interested in others.

Sandra Kenora, Ontario Canada   September 26th, 2007 10:32 am ET

I appreciate Donald's comments on CNN but having said that…It's real easy to point on fault from the cheap seats. Donald your a great role model in the business world…your experience is worth millions. But…. have you ever ran for office or sat in a chair to bring the news…come on Donald admit at least this one time these are areas you really have no expertise. Life according to Donald..the USA is full of losers.

KBKofoed, Drexel Hill, PA   September 26th, 2007 10:33 am ET

So, Mr. Gambling Empire; exactly why should we care what you think … about anything?

Julie S. Lambert, New York, NY   September 26th, 2007 10:34 am ET

Donald Trump, it's YOU who is the loser! Why don't you stick to what you know (or what you think you know)instead of budding into every possible issue. I am no fan of Rosie O'Donnel but you are indeed a mean and hostile man who needs therapy.
