Long-standing public enemies Rosie O'Donnell and President Donald Trump finally have found something to agree on, at least according to Trump: they both support the firing of former FBI Director James Comey.
Trump retweeted a tweet from December 2016 in which O'Donnell said, "FIRE COMEY."
"We finally agree on something Rosie," Trump responded on Thursday.

Trump and O'Donnell have a long and well-established feud. At least one timeline traces their conflict to Trump's December 2006 decision not to fire Miss USA Tara Conner, drawing criticism from the then-host of "The View." O'Donnell claimed that Trump went bankrupt and called him a "snake-oil salesman on Little House on the Prairie." Trump responded by threatening to sue O'Donnell.
"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," he said.
The two continued to exchange barbs over the intervening years, and the conflict was brought up during the 2016 primaries, when Trump was attacked by Hillary Clinton for calling women "pigs, slobs, and dogs" in the past.
"Some of it I said in entertainment, some of it said to somebody who has been very vicious to me, Rosie O'Donnell," Trump said during the first presidential debate. "I said very tough things to her and I think everybody would agree she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her."
