Donald Trump slams Bill Cosby as not 'honest'

By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 4/11/11 2:58 PM EDT Updated: 4/11/11 3:27 PM EDT

Donald Trump trashed Bill Cosby Monday for teeing off on the developer over his "birther" comments, claiming the former TV star has only been nice to his face and even once offered to buy him a suit.

Trump said he happened to catch Cosby on the "Today" show last week, in a segment that aired after his own pre-taped interview with Meredith Viera.

"While I have never been a fan of Cosby’s, I had always assumed he liked or respected me because every time I met him — the last time at the David Letterman show where I preceded him as a guest — he was always so nice, saying 'let’s get together' —— asking me out to dinner, and being polite to the point of offering to buy me a suit because he has a 'great tailor,'" Trump said.

“In any event, as I watched the show, the subject of Donald Trump came up. I was surprised to hear him blabber, somewhat incoherently 'you run or shut up,' " Trump added, saying Cosby must know that "I cannot run until this season of 'Celebrity Apprentice' ends."

2. Reasons one shouldn't be taken seriously as a presidential candidate:
1) You have to wait until this season of Celebrity Apprentice runs to throw in your hat.
2) People often wonder if there's a living creature residing on your head.
3) You're an intolerable douchebag.
4) Do I really need to continue?

7. My interpretation of "offering to buy me a suit because he has a great
tailor" means....That sack of burlap you're wearing on your enlarged pompous ass doesn't fit right...That's just my opinion of what Cos meant....LOL.

25. Classic, isn't it?
But being the numbnuts he is, not only did Trump not realize he was being insulted, he repeats the story! What an idiot.

28. Ity betrays something deeply flawed in Trump that he regards Cosby ...
... in such a simplistic and superficial way. Cosby has the skill to assassinate a person verbally without them noticing until they get their ass handed to them.

30. Trump would promptly...
Mistake his own ass and place it on his own head.

Honest to God, if he ever showed himself in public with the bald head God gave him, I'd applaud him for finding some sense! Bald is beautiful, seriously!

12. of course he was nice before Trump came out as a racist birther
once Orly Trump decided to pander to that fringe, i imagine a lot of people's opinions about him changed.

No pudding pops for you, Donald.

13. Jesus said that Trump had too big an ego. Trump replied, "Me with an ego, look at Jesus! This
guy walks around saying he's the son of God, and look at what he's wearing, a freakin' dirty bathrobe. C'mon. I'll give you wine in gold glasses served to you in women dressed as whores. Jesus, what an ass."

14. Give it up, Donald
I was born in NYC too, two years after you to be exact. MY NYC BC looks nothing likes yours either. It has a NYC SEAL on it.

However, both my parents were born in NYC, and my grandparents were also. Your MOTHER was born in SCOTLAND. I guess that makes you an anchor baby, or only Hispanics can be anchor babies?

Ok, I will admit one thing. My Grandfather was conceived in the UK. I guess with the new push towards "personhood" from conception on, that would make him a British ciitzen?

a deceitful liar!

Donald Trump can't even tell the truth about being bald.

I see no contradiction in that.

This was the Bill Cosby show I watched as a kid. I never watched The Cosby Show.

I watched him soften up over the years on The Apprentice, but it looks like he's returning to his roots.

35. Total improvement!
And the moustach is a good replacement for that thing he wears on his head.

I dunno... maybe it's because my beloved grandfather was bald the entire time I knew him, but I just love a bald headed man! WTF? Why are some men so freaked out about losing their hair that they go to such ridiculous lengths?

39. Cosby has done more to educate children where Trump just keeps procreating children...
with each of his wives.

I think the current wife is hitting 30. Trump might need to upgrade the wife before he starts the next election.

40. Wow Trump. That takes some weighty balls.
While most seasoned politicians would gloss over a negative statement from someone with the accepted respect of Bill Cosby, Trump confirms his political inexperience by reminding us how a stupid reality show takes precedence over his commitment to public service.

Two swings and two misses on one pitch.
What a hack.
