The second “Hot Topic” of the day on Monday’s (September 8) Season 29 premiere of The View was the news that Donald Trump and his administration renamed the Department of Defense the “Department of War” and announced his intention to send troops into the city of Chicago, Illinois, with a meme of himself in the theme of Apocalypse Now.
The cohosts were all mostly agreed that it was an inappropriate action for the administration to take, but Joy Behar had a unique take on the matter.
“All of this is a big distraction from the fact that his approval rating is in the toilet right now. 52% of Americans say the economy is getting worse. 24% say it’s getting better. Also, the Epstein thing hangs over his head,” she said, evoking the continued controversy about the Trump administration’s handling of the files for the convicted child sex trafficker Trump had a long and well-documented friendship with.

Wonder how distracted she would be if she took a walk alone tonight in Central Park.
Distraction is a code word for, “Not the thing I want to focus on.”
Can’t air traffic control ground her broom?
Well, she is stupid and wrong, but his approval rating is in the 40s in almost every poll. He needs to stop the trade wars and economic illiterate tariffs
Joy Behar threatens our sanity.
I thought they cancelled this livestock show.
He should stop as soon as every other country that tariffs us stops, which will be never.
As bad as this sounds, I am truly sorry it wasn’t Joy on that bus in Charlotte a few days ago.
The ‘protected class’ like this fat ilk has NO IDEA the fears ordinary Americans have to go through over criminals who are released due to DEMOCRAT JUDGES.
Irrelevant. If other countries want to tax their citizens more, it has no affect on us 0 conservative/libertarian economists argue for trade wars
The last I checked, the Democrat Party is at 19% approval.
President Trump doesn’t threaten. He gives warnings.
That’s still one of the highest approval ratings any President has had in a very long time.
I don’t think we will ever see a POTUS with over 50% approval again. Things are just too splintered.
Joy Behar? Yawn..The View should’ve been cancelled 20 years ago...
Sure. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.
You mean being honest?
