‘The View’: Joy Behar Reveals Why She Feels ‘Sorry’ for Trump After ABC News Interview
On Tuesday (April 29) night, Donald Trump sat for an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran at the White House to commemorate the first 100 days of his second presidency. Several moments from the one-on-one have since made headlines, including a heated exchange over Kilmar Ábrego García, a legal resident of the U.S. who was deported to El Salvador’s mega-prison and whose case sparked a Supreme Court order for Trump’s administration to “facilitate” his return. Trump argued that while he “could” bring the Maryland dad back home he wouldn’t because he had MS-13 tattoos, a fact which the interviewer pointed out was in dispute.
On Wednesday’s live episode of The View, the cohosts offered their reactions to a clip of that portion of the interview, and at least one cohost came away from it with a surprising new perspective.
“I watched the whole thing,” Joy Behar said right away. “And I’m really starting to feel sorry for him.” But what exactly made her feel that way? She explained, “He’s in over his head. The simplest questions he cannot answer. He knows that only immigration is maybe where he has been somewhat successful… and then he turns on Terry Moran when he asked, ‘How dare you ask me a question I can’t answer?’ I mean, the guy is over his head.”
Sunny Hostin, for one, said she “didn’t feel badly for him at all.” Instead, her sympathy goes towards everyone else in the country. “As an attorney, I always believed in the rule of law, and we’ve always said that this is a constitutional democracy, and we are a country of laws,” she explained, adding that this case creates a “constitutional crisis.” “You have a federal judge in Maryland that says, ‘Bring him back, facilitate his return.’ It goes to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court then says, ‘Facilitate his return.’ Then you have President Trump during this interview saying, ‘I’m not going to bring it back. I can, but I’m not going to,'” she explained. “When we lawyers talk about a constitutional crisis, ladies and gentlemen, we are here. We are in this constitutional crisis when you have the president of the United States on ABC News national interview saying, ‘I am not going to do what the Supreme Court [says].'”
Alyssa Farah Griffin said it was a “huge failure” of Trump’s team to not warn him that the images of the supposed hand tattoos were photoshopped. “It speaks to sort of a community of people not wanting to speak truth to him because they’re fearful they may lose their jobs,” she noted.
Whoopi Goldberg closed the chat by slamming Trump’s deportation policies that have resulted in U.S. citizen children being deported and called it “the embarrassment of America” that due process is no longer being employed for these deportations.

Not a lunatic or idiot. Like to hear all sides. Unfortunately, there are far too many people that have been lied to right now in our country. Are they idiots and lunatics as well?We're our own person and make up our own minds. What the panel on the View says is their opinions on the topics of the day. They do not speak for me.it's unfortunate that those who voted for the President and need his help the most are getting so little if anything.Are they lunatics and idiots because they believed what he said?It's so easy to name call..I didn't vote for Mr. Trump but we are all a part of these United States. I feel that his voters were misled. His first 100 days have given them nothing. They are NOT lunatics or idiots just folks who believed in the Liar & Chief.

Quote “ It’s so easy to name call” Yet You just called the President Of The United States a Liar In Chief. And speak for Yourself about not getting what you voted for. The President received a Huge Mess from the Biden Admin. but President Trump is still doing what 77 Million Plus Americans voted on him for. In spite of Liberal Fed Judges trying to usurp the authority and powers of the Executive Branch of our government. They are filing injunctions on everything the President does !! Biden didn’t have even vaguely that much Resistance from conservative Fed Judges. But Liberals Never play fair !! There is No low that is to low for them. President Trump has only been in office 100 days, Biden utterly Decimated this country for Four years !! It will take Time and Yes some Pain to Fix all the terrible mess Biden left behind. But President Trump is a Winner and he Will fix it and Make America Great Again !!

Didn't Biden defy supreme court orders if I recall, why isn't anybody saying anything about that. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Typical Democrat hypocrisy, the law only applies to someone who isn't doing what they want, but it doesn't apply to them. And Sunny what a hypocrite, where were you when all the laws were being broken by the Biden Administration and antifa, black lives matter, and every other organization that was breaking the law under the Biden Administration, and it was allowed. Nothing was done about it...shut up you people are idiots and let Trump fix the catastrophe he walked into. What do you expect to happen in 3 months. This country is now in so much better hands than it would be under any kind of Democratic Hate America Leadership. I hope you criminals never obtain the white house again.

If I recall Ronald Reagan defied several Supreme Court orders and broke many laws and nothing was done to him and before you ask me what orders were not followed & what laws did he break tell me what orders did Biden defy & what laws did he break. It's easy to say something but if you want others to believe it you need to give them proof. The order that Trump defied was named so what Supreme Court orders did Biden defy? Hum?? Name them...

Ya don't recall that. So just stop while you're behind. Biden obeyed laws.

I think the view is the national embarrassment, not trump. Barbara Walters would be so disgusted at what her show has become. If you are not a Biden loving liberal then nothing you say or do will ever be right. How about Nancy Pelosi and her her husband being caught numerous times breaking the law but getting away with it because of their wealth? Funny the "women" of the view never comment on those topics, only the ones that suit their opinions. They are beyond disgusting.

That's not true. The only people that are doing that is maga. America is great, we have issues and problems, but apparently other people still want to keep coming here. Stop with the hatred, Trump puts itself in these positions, and the new people defend him. Be loyal to america, if you want it to be great again.

OK reread the so called guidelines here and it seems if you are a Liberal you can say anything you please and if it violates the guidelines Nothing will be done. But if you’re a conservative minded person you get Canceled. I wonder if there is legal remedy for this ? If your gonna have a site like this then any violations should be punished with Equality. Grossly unfair !!

I get Joy’s point, but Sunny was spot on. As I look at these foolish people who think Trump won’t do anything to hurt them I see denial. They have bought all the lies to the point some even put MAGA in their names.
I have zero sympathy for what’s going to happen to them, and Trump will rot in hell.

Multiple lawsuits against the women of the "view". Elon, Carrie Underwood, Melania have hit their pocketbook so hard I can't believe ABC can continue to keep the show on. They are very arrogant, foolish women that can't keep their mouths shut. To say "rot in hell" is foolish on your part. Americans have spoken with a mandate, they want the garbage thrown out. Homan will continue to do his job. These gang members that rape, kill, and traffic deadly drugs will continue to be rounded up and ejected. Stay tuned, it's just begun..and not a damn thing "you" can do to stop it. My best friends son was killed by these murderers. I have no sympathy for these terrorists or people of your ilk that constantly complain for Americans safety.

One things for sure America has and still is by far along with the UK is by far the most evil and inhumane government and 2nd to no other again partnered with the UK. The kind of inhumane government can't stand and DJT I believe is sanctioned by the Lord (laws of right wrong and evilness) to bring it down same as all of the rest patterned after ROME though has committed more evilness of all sorts as I said US and UK cannot stand

Apparently, this is no longer America. It's all right for you to have an opinion. But no one else can, if it isn't in line with yours. Do your research then make and inform decision. And I'm not talking about fake news. There are very good news stations out there that are not biased. They just report the news. And its part is Eric foolish women, that is the wrong thing to say. I'm pretty sure they probably have more education than you have. Why don't you talk about all the people that got pardoned, who now do not have to pay money's back that they swindled, or stole looked that up also

Kind of like the 100% of Lib Dems that kept repeating that Joe Biden was perfectly healthy mentally. THEN when his own party stabbed him in the back that same 100% said Oh I could’ve told you from the start he had mental health issues, We All knew that Harris was/is best for the job. Now the Dems are trotting AOC and Bernie out there as their “leadership” LOL !! If any Americans are brain washed it’s Lib Dems !! They also have severe Amnesia and Wrongly think Conservatives do to as we Remember the utter Destruction Joe and his Handlers wreaked on this country. We’ve not been duped as You say at all. It’s only been just over 100 days Joe left a Huge mess to deal with !! Gonna take Trump some time to Fix all that terrible mess. And he Will. In spite of Rogue Lib Dem Fed Judges attacking on every issue !! I feel a bit sorry for the people on their docket that these “ judges” are NOT working on.When Trump MAGA the Lib Dems will Never acknowledge it. So it doesn’t matter. He’s doing what 77 Million Plus Americans voted for him to do.

You know it’s a Sad state of affairs when Lib Dems are actually Celebrating Abrego García a Wife Beater and Gang Member, here Illegally in our country as some sort of National Hero !!
Also they are Celebrating Luigi Mangeone ( might have misspelled his last name) a man that like a Coward shot another man in the back Killing him and leaving a widow and two children behind. All because Luigi disagreed with insurance company policies !!
They also Celebrate people with checkered table cloths over their heads and wearing masks Terrorizing Jewish Students ( and Jewish people in general) assaulting people, destroying public and private property as Hero’s !!
But then it’s Normal for Lib Dems as they believe in Any and All abortions including Very late term !!
And Lib Dems are Just Fine with MEN playing in women’s sports which allows these Men to go into women’s showers and locker rooms !!
And Last their boiling hot Mad at Elon Musk and DOGE finding nearly $180 Billion of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse ( So Far more to come) in our government !! What True American would be Angry at corruption and waste being exposed and Taken Back in our govt. ? Elon Musk was closing the Lib Dems government slush funds I think is Why the Lib Dems are So angry !! Then they wonder Why in the world did they lose the elections ?? Oh and almost forgot this Very important one President Trump is Trying hard to crack down on Crime in America and Fentanyl being pushed to our kids.But Lib Dem Judges fight him every step !

The children were not deportedTheir mother was so they went with their mother. That is why the law that says if you are born in the USA You are a citizen. It should be changed that if your mom is here illegally you are not a USA citizen.

BUT TYPING IN ALL CAPS WONT MAKE WHAT YOU SAY TRUE. But seriously you really need to take a chill pill.

It's funny when he loses. He makes a big stink about it, saying they stole from him. But when he wins, you don't see Democrats acting ignorant like that, and they are willing to work with that food. It's funny when he loses. He makes a big stink about it, saying they stole from him. But when he wins, you don't see Democrats acting ignorant like that, and they are willing to work with that fool He's the one that doesn't want to work with anyone. And if he was so interested in the border, why did he block the bored a bill when President Biden was in office that was proven seriously. He's always blaming everyone else for his mess. Ups, don't you think it's strange that no one respects him that know anything about government that's one of the reason they're firing everyone because they know they are incumbented, and they don't want it to be seen. The art of the deal, if you're so great in business, why would someone have to file bankruptcy four times, nutshop Musk didn't do it Bill Gates didn't do it None of the successful businessmen and women, have not done that,
Apparently he's not as good as he nor you think so. You want to call somebody dumb? Look around you, that is so rude. But then what do you expect you sound like something he would say
