onservative business giant Donald Trump appeared on Fox News to give his two cents about the Donald Sterling scandal.

Although Trump did describe Sterling's comments as "horrible" and "disgusting," he also took up a new angle, calling girlfriend V. Stiviano—whose lawyer has denied that she released the audio of Sterling's racist rant—the "girlfriend from hell."

"It's terrible, he got set up by a very, very bad girlfriend," Trump told his hosts on the news station when asked his opinion about the situation. "Let's face it: That whole thing is—she's called the girlfriend from hell."

The billionaire accused Stiviano—who is half black—of setting up the Clippers owner by making a private conversation public. Host Brian Kilmeade had pointed out that some had taken Sterling's side because of that, and because Stiviano was "baiting him."

"It's so bad," Trump agreed. "She was baiting him, and she's a terrible human being. And he gave horrible answers, and disgusting answers. You're right, it's a private conversation. But it became very public.

"He could be pretty much out of it in terms of his whole mentality," Trump added, when another co-host, Steve Doocy, said that Sterling had asked his girlfriend to record what he was saying because he was forgetful. "The way she led him along. He should know, if he were there, if he was with it, he would know after one or two of those questions that she was answering and asking that there's something going on here.
