Donald Trump will be interviewed by A.J. Hammer tonight on Showbiz Tonight about this ridiculous feud with Rose O’Donnell and how Barbara Walters has entered the frey. Highlights follow…

HAMMER: You’ve got to clear a couple of things up to me that have come up since we last spoke, before the holidays, Donald — a little `he said, she said’ is going on, once again. You were very clear and emphatic when you told me that Barbara Walters is not thrilled with Rosie. Now, Barbara said, on “The View” — and this is her quote — “nothing could be further from the truth. I have never regretted, nor do I now, the hiring of Rosie O’Donnell.”

Donald, is she calling you a liar?

TRUMP: Barbara knows what she said. Barbara called me — Barbara’s a friend of mine and she called me. Barbara knows what she’s going — what she said, A.J. — what can she say? Is she going to get on and say that I can’t stand Rosie, or that she has to — she has to work with her.

But Barbara knows what she said to me, and if I really tell you what she said, it just creates havoc. I like Barbara, Barbara’s a friend of mine. Barbara knows what she said.

HAMMER: That surprises me, though, Donald, and it struck me when we were speaking face to face, a couple of weeks ago, that you would say these things, because now, essentially, what you’re saying is that by necessity, she is lying to her audience.

TRUMP: Barbara has no choice but to say what she’s going to say, because it’s very unfortunate. But let me tell you, Barbara is not a fan of Rosie.

HAMMER: Do you think there’s any chance at all that you could see yourselves, maybe not kissing and making up, but making up with Rosie, somehow, maybe appearing on `The View’ one day and putting this all behind you? Would you like to do that?

TRUMP: Zero chance.

HAMMER: No chance that will happen.

TRUMP: I say zero chance.

HAMMER: And what about your friendship with Barbara Walters?

TRUMP: I love Barbara. Have a good time.

HAMMER: All right, Donald. Thanks so much.
