Donald Trump appeared to passive-aggressively stoke an old feud with comic Rosie O’Donnell by wishing her well with her new talk show, OWN’s "The Rosie Show," while noting the less-than-spectacular ratings for her series premiere, reports AccesssHollywood.com.

“I felt badly that her ratings were so bad. Actually, I would like to see her be successful because everything Oprah does, ultimately, is successful, so I think Rosie will be successful,” Trump told the entertainment show.

Trump indicated he would not be appearing on "The Rosie Show," however, turning down a hypothetical invitation. "I don’t think so," he said, "but I think she’ll be successful."

Total viewership for "The Rosie Show" reportedly dropped from about 500,000 for Monday’s premiere to 417,000 for Tuesday’s installment.
