It wasn't unusual of WWE (or more specifically, Vince McMahon) to poke fun at major news events in the interest of filling up television time, and thus no surprise when Vince's billionaire buddy Donald Trump waged a very public war of words with television personality Rosie O'Donnell.

Kicking off a decade of tension that still exists between the duo, Trump and Rosie made very cutting remarks against one another in the press at the time, giving McMahon an open goal to present his awful brand of 'comedy' in the middle of a January 2007 edition of Raw.

Set to chants of 'TNA' and 'This Match Sucks', the contest between the two impersonators was naturally a total shambles, despite a game effort from Trump imitator (and CM Punk trainer) Ace Steel. But worse was the portrayal of O'Donnell as McMahon pushed his political agenda via some cruelly demeaning verbiage.

Announcing her as a 'double-chined Diva' loaded with 'lesbianic fury', McMahon gleefully took aim at every section of society he didn't really care for.

On commentary, Jim Ross noted how McMahon had previously wailed on the 'left-leaning lesbian' and commented that he could 'hear her stomach growling from here', whilst Jerry Lawler joked that she was wearing a watch 'to remind her when it was time to eat again'.

Trump won, of course. Trump always wins.
