President Donald Trump<\/a> is not happy with the state of television at the moment, and the feeling is mutual. Trump cut<\/a> funding to NPR and PBS; Stephen Colbert called the Paramount and Trump $16 million settlement<\/a> a bribe, and coincidentally got his show cancelled; South Park<\/a> made fun of CBS canceling Colbert and gave Trump a tiny penis. What could possibly be next? Glad you asked: let\u2019s try beef with a morning talk show. Trump\u2019s beef with The View has been going on for almost 20 years<\/a>, starting with Rosie O\u2019Donnell and continuing with Joy Behar this week after she had some choice words for Trump and his administration.<\/p>\n

On July 23, during Hot Topics, Behar criticized the current President\u2019s comments against President Barack Obama, where he said he was \u201cguilty of treason<\/a>.\u201d \u201cFirst of all, who tried to overthrow the government on January 6th? Who was that again?\u201d Behar stated<\/a> on the broadcast. \u201cThe thing about him is he is so jealous of Obama, because Obama is everything that he is not. Trim. Smart. Handsome. Happily married. And can sing Al Green\u2019s song \u2018Let\u2019s Stay Together\u2019 better than Al Green.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Trump administration had a lot to say. In a statement to Entertainment Weekly<\/a> on July 23, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers called Behar an \u201cirrelevant loser suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.\u201d Rogers also claimed that The View\u2019s ratings \u201chit an all-time low\u201d last year \u2014 the show fought back by sharing that: \u201cThe View\u00a0is\u00a0ranking No. 1 in households\u00a0and total viewers among all network daytime talk shows and news programs for the fifth straight season.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked by Fox News<\/a> on July 24 if The View is now in the \u201ccrosshairs\u201d of the administration, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr did not deny it, sharing \u201cLook, it\u2019s entirely possible that there\u2019s issues over there. And stepping back, this broader dynamic, once President Trump has exposed these media gatekeepers and smashed this facade, there\u2019s a lot of consequences. I think the consequences of that aren\u2019t quite finished.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, but not because of Trump. On July 24, Behar revealed<\/a> that after Friday\u2019s episode, the show will go on its regularly scheduled Summer hiatus \u2014 it has nothing to do with Trump and reportedly follows the same schedule the show has been on for years. Whoopi Goldberg also stated that the show will return in September.<\/p>\n
