The Feud: Trump vs. Rosie and the Age of Public Humiliation

By Gordon J. MacKenzie

A feud can be funny, until it stops being funny.

The Feud traces the long-running public war between Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell, from its mid-2000s ignition on daytime television to its later aftershocks in political culture. What began as celebrity theatre (insults, threats, and tabloid spectacle) evolved into something more revealing: a case study in how public humiliation became entertainment, how entertainment became influence, and how influence learned to feed on conflict.

This book tells the story without turning it into a constant highlight reel. It follows the key turning points, explains why the fight endured for so long, and shows what the feud taught the wider culture about power, attention, and punishment as performance.

Included at the end: a curated insult timeline of the major public barbs (kept out of the main narrative) and a references section for readers who want to verify the record.
