Joy Behar from The View urged President Donald Trump to engage in self-reflection after he made comments about an individual’s weight during a press conference.
The hosts of The View were discussing Trump’s new initiative to impose price controls on prescription drugs when Behar criticized him for frequently making remarks on other people’s appearances.
During the press conference, Trump stated that he was motivated to issue the executive order after conversing with a “highly neurotic” and “seriously overweight” friend who uses an unspecified weight loss medication, which Trump referred to as “the fat shot drug.”
While Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin unpacked whether Trump should move forward with the price controls, Behar took some personal shots at Trump’s appearance.
“The guy has a 153 rooms in the White House, he can’t have one mirror to look into?” she asked.
“He’s always criticizing!” she continued, before adding with a major eye roll, “This one’s not a 10, this one’s a six, this ones fat. He said the friend is ‘highly neurotic.’ Hello, look in the mirror!”
The comedian is never one to miss an opportunity to ridicule President Trump on the show.
Behar recently defended Michelle Obama’s decision to not attend President Trump’s inauguration in January. At the time, Whoopi Goldberg asked, “Why does she owe anybody an explanation?”
“I don’t understand why, if she says, ‘I didn’t go,’ why do I have to ask you, ‘Did you get your friend this month?’ Why is it my business? She didn’t go!” Goldberg ranted.
Goldberg’s point prompted Behar to chime in and say, “If I had to listen to Trump babble on for hours, I’d have menstrual cramps too,” sending The View studio into hysterics.
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
