Donald Trump, Joy Behar via Instagram: @theviewabcDonald Trump has been known to use his spiteful Twitter account to slam any person, place, or thing that displeases him. So it comes as no surprise that the hot topic-dishing women of “The View” have often found themselves in his crosshairs.
Our sensitive President-elect is quick to jump on his favorite social media site and slam anything from the show’s ratings and future, to personal attacks on its co-hosts.
And since Trump will surely be an ongoing topic on the series, as his January 20th inauguration grows ever closer, ENTITY looks at the Donald’s fiercest tweets against the women of “The View.”
Last year Trump was apparently NOT happy with former co-host Nicole Wallace. And being the caring man that he is, the soon-to-be POTUS tweeted a “friendly” warning to co-host Whoopi Goldberg.
.@WhoopiGoldberg had better surround herself with better hosts than Nicole Wallace, who doesn’t have a clue. The show is close to death!

The model and actress had only been appearing as a guest co-host when Trump went off on the ABC chat show. However, he still didn’t hesitate to throw her under the bus, claiming the star was “a disaster.”
The ratings for The View are really low. Nicole Wallace and Molly Sims are a disaster. Get new cast or just put it to sleep. Dead T.V.

Earlier this year Trump slammed the daily chat show’s ratings, while simultaneously complimenting himself. He insisted the show was “constantly asking” him for an appearance, but he was, of course, far too busy and important to oblige.
.@TheView T.V. show, which is failing so badly that it will soon be taken off the air, is constantly asking me to go on. I TELL THEM “NO”

But Trump apparently does not hate everyone associated with “The View,” as he has no problem complimenting “the great Barbara Walters.” Of course, the support came in conjunction with another hit at “The View,” as he wondered how any of the current hosts ever got their jobs.
Explain how the women on The View, which is a total disaster since the great Barbara Walters left, ever got their jobs. @abc is wasting time

It’s no surprise that one of Trump’s most famous adversaries, Rosie O’Donnell, is a former co-host of “The View.” He’s argued with O’Donnell for years, dating back to inciting comments she had made about him on the show in 2006.
He’s taken her to task on Twitter a number of times, even bringing up her former wife Michelle Rounds in a bid to insult her. Trump has questioned O’Donnell’s talent and trashed her with an array of insults such as “obnoxious” and “dumb.”
I feel sorry for Rosie ‘s new partner in love whose parents are devastated at the thought of their daughter being with @Rosie–a true loser.

Rosie is crude, rude, obnoxious and dumb – other than that I like her very much!

Trump has a history of dragging Walters into the fray, praising her as he bashes the current co-hosts of “The View.” This time he went after Joy Behar, claiming she had been fired from her last job and was doing even “worse” on the ABC morning series.
Joy Behar, who was fired from her last show for lack of ratings, is even worse on @TheView. We love Barbara!

The President-elect has also been known to retweet or repost rude comments from his followers that entertain him. He shared a particularly nasty tweet with advice to “destroy” the women of “The View,” commenting, “a dead show.”
“@Doctor_S_Freud: @TheView They’re all brain-dead puppets with skeletons in their closet. I say you go on and destroy them all” A dead show
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 24, 2016
As you can see, Trump has quite the sharp tongue when it comes to any dissent, aiming his venom here at “The View.” With such vindictive tweets, Trump’s character is not the only issue. It’s alarming to see the man who will hold the highest position in this country rail so hard against the media. Another example can be seen in how he targeted Vanity Fair after a poor review of one of his restaurants.

It remains to be seen if the President-elect will continue such harassment after the inauguration on January 20, but things certainly don’t look good.
