Another Monday, another meltdown on The View. The daytime talk show’s co-hosts once again turned a passing Trump comment into an apocalyptic prophecy about the “death of democracy.”
This week’s crisis? The third term for Trump talk is starting to seem real.
While traveling aboard Air Force One en route to Japan, Donald Trump was asked if he’d rule out a third term. His answer was classic Trump: “Am I not ruling it out? I mean, you’ll have to tell me.” Cue the pearl-clutching.
Whoopi Goldberg opened Monday’s show by declaring, “Well, you-know-who told us he was going to be a dictator on day one and, damn, if he isn’t a dictator!”
Goldberg cited Steve Bannon’s recent claim that Trump is “going to get a third term.” Of course, she took it as gospel truth.
Alyssa Farah Griffin solemnly warned viewers that “there’s certain people in Trump’s orbit who, when they tell you what they’re going to do, I listen.” She went on to connect the dots from Bannon to January 6th—as though Trump’s hypothetical future campaign were a secret plan to crown himself king.
Sunny Hostin jumped in, suggesting Trump’s alleged “ballroom project” proves he doesn’t plan to leave the White House at all. “He is hooking up the White House because he doesn’t plan on leaving it,” she claimed.
And Whoopi, ever the prophet of doom, doubled down: “I told y’all that years ago. He said, ‘I want to be president for life.’ I heard him say it, I watched his lips move, and I thought, he means this!”
Then Ana Navarro turned up the volume: “He’s got authoritarian envy,” she said. “He wants to be an emperor.”
While these ladies panic over a speculative “third term,” the Biden administration spent his four years weaponizing government agencies, jailing political opponents, and pushing unconstitutional mandates.
Trump isn’t a dictator. He’s a politician with a flair for trolling the media—and few targets are easier than The View. Their predictable outrage only fuels his message that the liberal elite is allergic to humor, dissent, or perspective.
If there is a legal way and he wants to run, well, that’s up to him.
