Donald Trump has a long and not-so-auspicious history with the talk show The View. His bitter feud with Rosie O’Donnell extended before, during, and after her time as one of the hosts of that show, and Trump would appear on the show at various times, including during his quest to “prove” that Barack Obama’s birth certificate was fake.
Kamala Harris appeared on The View this week, while Donald Trump did not. Although he certainly watched the show for Harris’ appearance, and he had some pretty vicious things to say afterward. He was so angry, in fact, that he moved over from Truth Social to X for this particular rant.
Trump referred to his opponent as a “dummy” and ripped the hosts of The View as “dumb women.”

Lyin’ Kamala, who is being exposed as a “dummy” every time she does a show, just stated to the degenerates on The View that she would have done nothing different than Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.

It was a much more auspicious appearance than Harris’ visit to the same show in 2021 when, moments before Harris was to appear, it was announced that two hosts of the show, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro, had tested positive for COVID-19, and the interview segment did not go forward. Harris’ office was “vexed” with the View staff after that incident, CNN reported at the time, although the sides have appeared to have patched things up in the years since.
