TRUMP GIFT UNDERMINES ROSIE - Posted by Michael Fomkin

April 19, 2007 -- DONALD Trump has unleashed a secret weapon in his feud with Rosie O'Donnell - a gigantic black undergarment she wore in the movie "Exit to Eden," which Trump sent to Barbara Walters on Monday to hang on the office wall at "The View."
 
The girdle-like outfit - variously described as "a bustier" and "a giant pair of panties" - was bought at a charity auction by a fan, who then had the relic framed under glass and delivered to Trump.
 
"I sent it to Barbara to hang in her office because I didn't want it in mine. It was funny, except that it was really gross. It's disgusting," Trump told Page Six. "I feel sorry for [Rosie's] wife. It can't be pleasant."
 
O'Donnell played the police detective partner of Dan Aykroyd in the 1994 comedy described by Leonard Maltin as a "strange cinematic catastrophe." The two cops go undercover at a sado-masochistic fantasy camp, which required O'Donnell to wear the bustier with garters and stockings while brandishing a whip.
 
On "The View" on Monday, O'Donnell asked Walters, Joy Behar and Elizabeth Haselbeck: "You want to hear what a 61-year-old businessman did today? He sent Barbara . . ."
