In typical bombastic fashion, former President Donald Trump has set his sights on the women of The View, unleashing a fiery broadside against the daytime talk show’s co-hosts. During a recent rally, Trump dismissed the entire panel as “degenerates” and “dumb women,” reigniting his long-running feud with the program and its outspoken liberal commentators.
The attack came unprompted, with Trump veering off-script to vent about the ABC show, which has frequently criticized his policies and rhetoric. “These people are absolute degenerates—you ever watch The View? Dumb women sitting around yelling nonsense,” he told the crowd, which responded with a mix of cheers and laughter.
Trump’s history with The View stretches back decades—he was once a frequent guest on the show, even floating the idea of running for president during a 1999 appearance. But the relationship soured as the hosts, particularly Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, became vocal critics of his presidency. His latest outburst suggests that, even out of office, their critiques still sting.
Reactions have been predictably polarized. Supporters applauded Trump for “telling it like it is,” while critics accused him of resorting to misogynistic insults rather than engaging in substantive debate. The hosts themselves have yet to respond, but if past clashes are any indication, they won’t stay silent for long.
This latest salvo is part of Trump’s broader strategy of attacking media figures who challenge him, reinforcing his anti-establishment persona while keeping his base energized. Whether it’s smart politics or just another chaotic headline, one thing’s certain: Trump’s war of words with The View is far from over.
