Donald Trump angry at Bill Cosby for Today Show review

[HMG Celebrity News] – The next presidential race doesn’t begin until March but as you know Donald Trump may be running…Or he may not. And that indecision has angered Bill Cosby.

Asked by Meredith Vieira on last Thursday’s ‘Today’ show the 73-year old comedian made his feelings about Trump’s claims very clear — ‘He’s full of it!’

Cosby then derided the Donald, saying Trump’s repeated leaks about planning a run for the White House were merely a ploy to get attention for his business ventures.

“You run or shut up,” said Cosby. “But the only thing he’s running is his mouth.”

Well, now the Donald’s upset. In a statement released today he says he’d “always assumed Cosby liked or respected me” because Bill often invited him to dinner when they met on ‘The Late Show’ or at other events. Not any more.

“The hatred was pouring out of his eyes when he said this,” says Donald in the letter, explaining that his indecision over a political run is apparently due to his ‘Apprentice’ commitments;

“As I am sure Cosby must know, I cannot run until this season of Celebrity Apprentice ends,” it says. But then out comes the knife; “Based on the way he acted, things are not looking too good for Cosby.”

And as you might guess he’s far from done yet;

“If he doesn’t want me to run because he’s obviously an Obama fan, he should state the reasons and not treat me like his best friend, only to denigrate me when I’m not around,” the statement continues. “Sadly, he got more attention talking about me than he did from his own appearance. Maybe he is not as dumb as I thought.”

Bill’s reps declined any comment, but history tells us their client is already crafting a caustic response that will prove more than a match for Don’s rather judgmental review.

So whose side are you on? Is Cosby right and the Don’s a grandstanding wind-bag, or has Donald got it right and Cosby was just stirring scandal to get more time in the media?

Let’s get your vote – it may be the only time Trump ever gets one…
