The hosts of ABC’s daytime talk show, The View, have once again taken a strong stance against former President Donald Trump’s controversial remarks suggesting he might pursue a third term in the White House. The show, which airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, kicked off its Monday’s live show with a Hot Topics discussion led by Whoopi Goldberg, focusing on Trump’s recent comments.
Furthermore, Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin, and Ana Navarro—who cohost—reacted to the statements Trump made that should worry us all. Hostin was firm in her belief that ratified into law in 1951, the 22nd Amendment prevents anybody from serving over two terms as president. We cannot brush aside Trump’s remarks.
“I think he’s so enamored of Putin and so enamored with power that he wouldn’t mind being king with a crooked crown,” – Sunny Hostin
Hostin went on to suggest that Trump may be attempting to distract. He may be trying to change the subject from all the other Trump Administration scandals. She gave specific mention to that recent outcry. That’s hardly it—officials are reportedly using the Signal app to transact public business, and this is just one of several big violations.
ANA NAVARRO, GOP STRATEGIST: I’m calling him the distractor in chief. She contended that his talk of a potential third term misleads and distracts the public. That’s because this new tactic is meant to change the subject from the still-unfolding scandals.
“No matter how insane, stupid, hare-brained, and lawless I think something he says might be,” – Ana Navarro
Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin, a veteran of Trump’s first-term administration, was the bearer of bad news about these new tariffs. She cautioned that these would cost Americans even more in monetary terms within the next 48 hours. Farah Griffin further explained Trump’s strategy of issuing outrageous statements to seize the news cycle.
“He’s got this way of dangling things like this out there like catnip so certain corners of the media bite on it,” – Alyssa Farah Griffin
The Constitution explicitly prohibits anyone from serving more than two terms as President, making Trump’s suggestion of a third term constitutionally impossible. Watch as the hosts of The View remain awoke AF as they address a dangerous new pattern in Trump’s language. They are determined to do something about it.
