Donald Trump — Don’t Mess Up Terrell Owens’ Name … ‘I’ve Seen Him Go Crazy At People’

It’s time for a little “Excellent News/Terrible News” for Terrell Owens … starring Donald Trump. 

First, the good news … Trump says he was super impressed with the former NFL star during the taping of “Celebrity Apprentice” … saying he’s got real potential to make it in the business world. 

Now for the terrible news … Trump says T.O. has a pet peeve that causes Owens to LOSE HIS MIND — and it’s when people mispronounce his name. 

Trump called in to “TMZ Live” and told us he’s in person seen Owens “go crazy at people” who pronounce his name “Tah-Rell” instead of “Tear-ruhl” … and said he had to clarify to T.O. why he shouldn’t take it so in person. 

And get this, Trump says despite T.O.’s reputation — he was a model citizen on the show … and was well-liked by his cast-mates. 

“He’s obviously got his quirks … but I really liked him a lot.”
