ROSIE O’Donnell says she met the daughter of her tormentor-in-chief, Donald Trump, Wednesday night in Manhattan.

“@IvankaTrump in a city of 8 million — we meet face 2 face — I thank u 4 listening — mother 2 mother — on this new years week — my best 2 u,” O’Donnell said on Twitter, referring to the Jewish New Year.

The New York Post reports that the apparently accidental run-in took place at Nobu on 57th Street at 9pm (12am AEDT), O’Donnell claimed.

Ivanka Trump has not confirmed the meeting with her father’s long-running adversary, nor has the Republican presidential candidate.

The feud between the two appears to have sparked in 2006 when O’Donnell lashed out at the mogul for not firing a Miss USA accused of using drugs, underage drinking and sexual indiscretions.

O’Donnell, then a co-host of The View, lashed out at Trump — a man who she was close enough to at one point that she attended his wedding — for not being “a self-made man” and for being a “snake oil salesman.”

“[He] left the first wife — had an affair. [He] had kids both times, but he’s the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America. Donald, sit and spin, my friend,” she said at the time.

Trump replied by calling O’Donnell “a real loser” and warned: Rosie will rue the words she said … I’ll most likely sue her for making those false statements — and it’ll be fun. Rosie’s a loser. A real loser. I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie.”

During the late September presidential debate, Hillary Clinton referred to the war of words, saying: “This is a man who has called women pigs, slobs and dogs.”

The mogul responded, “Some of it I said to somebody who has been very vicious to me, Rosie O’Donnell.”

He added, “I said very tough things to her and I think everybody would agree she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her.”

That night, September 26, O’Donnell emphatically tweeted: “HE WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT.”
