Celebs Blast Donald Trump, He Fires Back
Posted on Tue Apr 26, 2011 02:42 PM PDT
All sorts of celebs are weighing in on The Donald as of late ... and they have some not-so-nice things to say about The Apprentice host and potential presidential candidate.
Comedian Bill Cosby spoke to NBC about Trump's possible 2012 campaign.
- "He’s full of it,” Cosby said. “You run, or shut up … but the only thing he's running is his mouth."
And Robert De Niro said Trump is like a "used car salesman" when it comes to the businessman's questioning of President Obama’s birth certificate.
Last, Jerry Seinfeld pulled out of an event benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital because Trump’s son, Eric, was hosting it.
But Trump, who's used to being the one giving the criticism a la his Apprentice franchise, doesn't take such critiques lightly.
See what fightin' words he had in response to these three -- and the bizarre statement that one celebrity gave in support of Donald -- after the jump!
Trump had retorts for all of his critics.
About Cosby, Trump seemed to think the comedian should keep his mouth shut.
- “I know he has taken a lot of heat over the years in that he seems to be talking down to the people he’s talking to and purportedly trying to help," Trump said.
He went postal on Seinfeld.
- "We don't care that you broke your commitment, even though the children of St. Jude are very disappointed, and despite the fact that your manager clearly stated you are 'truly a man of his word,'" Trump wrote in a letter to Seinfeld obtained by the New York Post.
"What I do feel badly about is that I agreed to do, and did, your failed show, The Marriage Ref, even though I thought it was absolutely terrible ... Despite its poor ratings, I didn't cancel on you like you canceled on my son and St. Jude."
And Trump talked to Fox & Friends about De Niro.
- He said De Niro is “not the brightest bulb on the planet.”
But Trump does have supporters. Rocker Bret Michaels took over the St. Jude event in Seinfeld's place.
- "Regardless of political views, the only thing that should matter is the lives of these children and their families, so I’m eager to offer my assistance to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in any way that I can," Michaels said.
And in a passionate statement, former Celebrity Apprentice contestant Gary Busey also told FOX411.com that, despite being cut from the show, he is a big fan of Donald.
- “He is a force of nature with a personality that considers the country first, not the government," Busey said. "Mr. Trump knows the meaning of freedom as the Founders knew the meaning of freedom when they wrote The Declaration of Independence."
Donald Trump ... potential president and forefather.

Give em hell Donald...
I still ain't voting for you though..
I am not american, but since the USA are of great influence around the world, I guess my opinion also counts. I like Donald as a businessman and (why not) as a showman. But I certainly don't like him as a president of the USA. Donald has such as such a hugh ego and is so ambitious... he can be dangerous... really...
this is my opinion:
Donald Trump's last name is "Arrogant and disrespect" he is full of blah, blah, blah, why is Donald angry at Obama who is trying to fix the country destroyed by Donald Trump and Henry Paulson associates, please tell this man to shut it up!
Jeeze! Not a frigging snowball's chance in hell would I or anyone I know of vote for this clown. The perfect ticket to insure Obama wins again would be Trump & Palin running against him.
Trump needs to plan for the future and not waste his 15 minutes of fame on nonsense. If you are running for President use your time wisely and focus more of what you WILL DO, people already know the current shit...war, birth certificate and don't care about it now. Fix stuff, create a positive image, move on and give us something we don't know...example: job creations, proper housing, gas prices, food prices, giving pensioners a raise ( they are the majority voters)
With an ego that big he'd be nothing but dangerous. He can only see his opinion and he thinks he is always right.
Not good for a leader
You people have no idea what you are talking about. Obama is destroying our country, he acts like a rock star not a President. Did Reagan ever go on Johnny Carson as the President of the United States? We need a President who is going to act like a President. Obama is a Marxist and when you people wake up and realize it you will be better off. I am not saying Trump would make a better President but wouldn't a business man be better at running this country than someone with absolutely no work experience at all?
Donald Trump For PRESIDENT!!! Go for it Donald we need you!!
an barrack obamo has no ego, hes' been on prime time TV more than any US president ever in just two years, he told some to trade in their gas guzzler if they didn't like high gas prices, and appointed timmy (goldman sachs boy) to the treasury for 'change we can count on, and appointed investment bankers to the cabiinet.....more change we can count on, no ego you say?
See kids, money cannot buy class.
The DEMOCRAT Governor of Hawaii Brought Up the ' Birther Issue' in the First Place (A Set Up , Trump Fell For (maybe) ?) and The policies of Statism seems to be the New Ideal of the Left (statism example: mandates , new laws , federal funding are given in regards to who supports the leftist party - read bill's mandates).
Mega Millionaire Celebrities , Large Multi National Companies like GE ,GM , NBC, Etc , The President is Set to Raise a Record Amount of Money $ 1,000,000,000 by election day "
Yes and the Multi Millionaire Celebrities Already made their Millions and will Not get effected much by the president's new tax proposals. Tax your political opponents ,seems to be the new ideal of the Left.
"" Munich Director Steven Spielberg and Ardent Democrat Supporter is Set to Do a Movie on Republican Abraham Lincoln in 2012, Using a Reference By Democrat Supporter and so called Historian Doris K. This Movie will be released in time for the elections. Most Experts Know that Republican Abraham Lincoln Stood for Individual Liberties and would Most Likely be Ashamed at the rapid decline of those Liberties , Due to the Health and Financial Control Bills that were Passed in 2010 by Progressive Democrats. Republican Abraham Lincoln 'Individual Liberties' Movement or Ideals Lost much ground with the Election of Democrat Progressive Woodrow Wilson of the early 1900s (which was the start of the Progressive movement). "'
DT's a moron!! go back to yur reality tv pleeze n' stay there!! what kind of Moron harps on something so ignorant n' stupid as this retarded birth certificate thing??!! sheesh!! get a Brain!! n' a new hairdo!! all that $$ n' you can't figure out yur damned hair??!!! Pathetic!!!
YAY for Bret Michaels. BOO for idiot Seinfeld.
ST. JUDE'S is ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!
Who cares what idiot airhead celebs think? Seinfeld is an idiot for backing out of a charity that helps terminal kids. Shows he never was in it for the children anyway.
Seinfeld is an idiot, making the event about him and not the kids, What about that for ego??
He is definitely a Obama supporter, only idiots support this guy, who is not doing ANYTHING to resolve the big issues in this country...he needs to go and move back to Hawaii...
Bill Cosby allegedly raped women when he was in Canada. He has a lot of nerve criticizing anyone.
I admire him, hes not afraid to respond to these friggin liberals!! LOL......loving it, still wouldnt vote for him though.....
So there you go. Gary Busey supports Trump and Trump acts like a baby when someone doesn't care for his politics.
Just goes to show you that Jerry is not into charity just politics. ANYONE who pulls out of an event because it is being hosted by someone they don't like is really immature. If you truly cared about St Jude's hospital and the thousands of children they help you would put trival feelings aside and be an adult. Jerry is just another hollywood blowhard that cannot stand it when someone does not share his views or likes. Poor excuse idiot.
He is showing his true colors under pressure. He could never, ever be President of the US. He could never handle it.
Move on Donald Trump. Nobody wants you.....
I totally agree prod American!!!
For Jerry Scienfeld.... i don't think you can get any lower by disrespecting st. jude by not showing up because you don't like trumps's son i mean really
.......HIS FARTS WERE LIKE ATOMIC BOMBS!!
Yeah, I really hate that prick Seinfeld.
Bill Cosby hates white people.
we all know that bill cosby is not very fond of the whites. hes always been that way.
trump would be a good president. he would run the country like he does his businesses. he would get alot done as opposed to the useless prick we have now. what a joke mr. o is!
what do you expect from deniro? hes a typical celebrity liberal and they all think the president is wonderful! they all voted him in office and have to keep supporting him so they dont look like the bunch of jackasses that they are! lets face it - all the obama supporters are hiding under rocks right now......
way to go Trump...I like that he is not intimidated by all these liberal celebrities that didn't finish high school, but because they became millionaires they think they know sh@t... As I long time supporter of St. Jude I am offended by Seinfeld's actions and will not support him in any way...what a loser...
if Obama became president so can Donald...haha
