Enter Rosie? Trump's nemesis O'Donnell says she will play Steve Bannon on SNL if she's asked as it's claimed the President is furious about his aides being portrayed by women

  • Rosie O'Donnell has said she would impersonate Chief Strategist Steve Bannon on Saturday Night Live after calls from Twitter
  • It comes after Melissa McCarthy embodied Press Secretary Sean Spicer on SNL
  • McCarthy's portrayal of Spicer left Trump deeply unimpressed, sources said 
  • But afterward, people took to Twitter calling for some of President Donald Trump's least favorite actresses to join the show to impersonate male staffers 

After the report on how President Donald Trump reacted negatively to Melissa McCarthy in drag embodying his Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Saturday Night Live, Rosie O'Donnell has said she would impersonate Chief Strategist Steve Bannon on the show.

McCarthy's portrayal of Spicer left Trump deeply unimpressed, sources said after the clip aired, but it also left viewers longing for more comedic clips featuring Trump Staffers.

After Politico released a report saying that the aspect of the sketch that bothered the President the most was the fact that his administration member was played by a woman, social media users took to Twitter calling for some of Trump's least favorite actresses to join the show. 

Several people suggested O'Donnell play Bannon, and she is apparently all in.

O'Donnell retweeted one person, saying she's available, adding: 'If called I will serve !!!'

She tweeted back at one person, saying that if she got the call she 'would need to have a few days to prepare' and 'will be ready.'

Other people on Twitter suggested that Meryl Streep take up the role of Bannon. One person suggested Ellen Degeneres impersonate Vice President Mike Pence.

Trump and O'Donnell have been embattled in a decade-long feud that kicked off long before the November 8 election.

It began in 2006 when O'Donnell was a host on The View and continued for years. Throughout Trump's campaign for the White House, O'Donnell regularly took swipes at the president-elect.

The 70-year-old has labelled her a 'fat pig', 'slob' and 'total degenerate' over the years and even brought her up in the presidential debates.

Trump was uncharacteristically silent about this weekend's show, having repeatedly attacked it in the past on Twitter for Alec Baldwin's impression of him.

According to insiders, this is a sign of how uncomfortable Trump is with the merciless lampooning of Spicer by McCarthy who played him as unhinged and easily rattled.

And according to Politico, White House insiders have said they worry now for Spicer's 'longevity' in the image conscious world of the Trump White House.

'Trump doesn't like his people to look weak,' added a top Trump donor.

Following the episode, the President was surprisingly absent from Twitter, where he usually mocks the show, calling it 'unfunny' or 'unoriginal'.

After Politico released a report saying that what bothered Trump the most was the fact that Spicer was played by a woman, social media users took to Twitter calling for some of Trump's least favorite actresses to join the Saturday Night Live

TWITTER FANCASTS WHITE HOUSE ROLES AFTER TRUMP'S REACTION TO MELISSA MCCARTHY'S SPICER

After the report on how President Trump reacted negatively to Melissa McCarthy in drag embodying his Press Secretary Sean Spicer, a lot of people have taken to Twitter to make suggestions on other women who could play members of the Trump administration on SNL. 

The aspect of the sketch that bothered the President the most was apparently the fact that his administration member was played by a woman. 

The Politico report has sparked major interest on twitter, with many people calling for some of Trump's least favorite actresses to join the show, such as Meryl Streep and Rosie O'Donnell. 

O'Donnell tweeted back at one person, saying that if she got the call she 'would need to have a few days to prepare' and 'will be ready.'  

Spicer has, for weeks, been trying to repair his first impression behind the podium as Press Secretary, and find the right balance between representing an administration that considers the media to be the opposition, but also developing a functional relationship with the press.

He is still clouded by his first impression as Press Secretary, in which he made false statements about the size of the crowd at Trump's inauguration and refused to take questions.

Senior White House officials Kellyanne Conway and Hope Hicks still attend the daily briefings and sit on the side to watch him, which signals that the administration may think their pick still needs some supervision, reported Politico.

Insiders say he was not the first choice for the job.

However, he has taken on the role seriously, and has added difficulty of doing two jobs at once while the administration seeks to fill his former job as communications director, according to Politico.

He said in a phone interview on Monday that it doesn't really matter what he thinks about the skit, and that: 'I would much rather have the focus be on the president's agenda and the success he's having.'

DONALD TRUMP AND ROSIE O'DONNELL'S ONGOING FEUD 

President Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell have been embattled in a decade-long feud that kicked off long before the November 8 election.

It began in 2006 when O'Donnell was a host on The View and continued for years. Throughout Trump's campaign for the White House, O'Donnell regularly took swipes at the president-elect.

The 70-year-old has labelled her a 'fat pig', 'slob' and 'total degenerate' over the years and even brought her up in the presidential debates.

When Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton accused Trump of sexism during the debate at Hofstra University, New York, he took the opportunity to take another jab at O'Donnell.

'This is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs,' Clinton said.

Clinton did not mention O'Donnell but Trump responded using her name, implying she was the only woman he'd ever verbally attacked.

'Somebody who's been very vicious to me, Rosie O'Donnell – I said very tough things to her. And I think everybody would agree that she deserves it, and nobody feels sorry for her,' Trump said.

O'Donnell hit back at Trump after the debate calling him an 'orange anus'.

At the time O'Donnell responded via Twitter saying 'he will never be President' before tweeting a link to a clip from The View in 2006 that shows her mocking Trump, a TV moment that is believed to be the origin of their feud.

'The 5 mins orange anus can't seem to get over - tell the truth - shame the donald [sic],' she wrote alongside it.

Last year, O'Donnell apologized to Melania Trump for flooding social media with comments about the former model's son, Barron, possibly having autism.

O'Donnell tweeted out a video back on November 21 that suggested ten-year-old Barron was autistic, writing: 'Barron Trump autistic? If so - what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic.'

Soon after the video, which made a case for Barron having autism by pointing out his behavior was consistent with the condition, began to spread.

To make that point, footage taken mainly from Trump's election victory speech, was used and showed him yawning, inexpressive and clapping in a way that Rosie agreed was indicative of his autism.

As thousands pointed out to O'Donnell, Barron had been forced to stay up until 3am that particular evening and his behavior was, in fact, more in keeping with a tired schoolboy rather than an autistic one.

After learning of the video Melania shot off a legal letter that name-checked O'Donnell, who responded soon after with her social media apology.
