Towards the very end of last night's presidential debate, Republican candidate Donald Trump decided to take aim once again at comedian Rosie O'Donnell. After his opponent, Hillary Clinton brought up Trump's past misogynistic comments, including his description of O'Donnell as a "slob," "unattractive," "disgusting," and "loser," Trump responded, "Hillary is hitting me with tremendous commercials. Some of it said in entertainment, some of it said by somebody who's been very vicious to me - Rosie O'Donnell." He added, "I said very tough things to her and I think everybody would agree that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her."

Today, the popular talk show host and star of stage and screen turned to Twitter to share a video from their feuding days on 'The View' and declare that Trump "will never be president." Check out the tweets below:

O'Donnell hosted the Emmy-winning ROSIE O'DONNELL SHOW from 1996-2002 and served as co-host of ABC's THE VIEW.

In 2003, she and Lori Klinger launched the non-profit performing arts organization Rosie's Broadway Kids, now Rosie's Theater Kids (RTKids), an arts education organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children through the arts. O'Donnell, who has hosted the TONY AWARDS several times, has appeared on Broadway in GREASE, SEUSSICAL and FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. O'Donnell's HBO special A HEARTFELT STAND UP aired in 2015.
