Trump rips The View host who wrote him a ‘glowing letter’ before turning critic: ‘Fraud’

By CHARLIE SPIERING, US POLITICAL REPORTER

Published: | Updated:

President Donald Trump on Tuesday called out The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin after she failed to keep her promise to wear a MAGA hat on the show if he freed the Israeli hostages from Gaza.

The president spoke about The View during a meeting at the White House with members of his cabinet and Argentinian president Javier Milei. 

One reporter in the room asked the president about Farah Griffin, his former communications aide in the West Wing.  

The president indicated he was well aware of Farah Griffin’s history, recalling that she wrote a ‘glowing letter’ about him after she resigned her position and left the White House in January 2021.

He said that Farah Griffin’s decision to join The View as one of the Republican co-hosts demonstrated her willingness to pivot to criticize the president just to be on the show.

‘They gave her a couple of bucks and she changed her view very quickly,’ he said. ‘I never thought she’d make it, I never thought she had what it took in any way … It just shows what a fraud The View is.’

In a resurfaced television clip, Farah Griffin spoke about Trump after the 2024 election, saying she would have no problem supporting him if he was able to free the Israeli hostages.

‘If he does good, if he gets the Israeli hostages out, I promise I will wear a MAGA hat for one day on the show and say thank you for doing it,’ Farah Griffin promised.

The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin promised in November to wear a MAGA hat if he freed Israeli hostages 

After Trump succeeded in freeing the hostages last weekend, his supporters began demanding on social media that Farah Griffin keep her promise.

Farah Griffin has not addressed the controversy.  

 The president also ripped ABC News host George Stephanopoulos after he cut off Vice President JD Vance in an interview on Sunday to go to a commercial break.

‘JD went through a great interview with George “Slop-a-dop-o-lous,” who was nice enough to pay me $16 million,’ Trump said, using one of his favorite nick-names for the host and referring to ABC’s agreement to give $15 million to Donald Trump’s presidential library to settle a defamation lawsuit from the host. 

Stephanopoulos wrongly claimed after a New York court verdict that Trump had been ‘found liable for rape’ and also of ‘defaming the victim of that rape,’ even as neither verdict did so. 

The president said it was very disrespectful of Stephanopoulos to cut to a commercial break and cutting off the vice president in the middle of his remarks. 

‘JD had a very nasty person interviewing him, and we can’t let that happen,’ he said. ‘Inappropriate to cut off a highly respected vice presidents of the United States mid sentence.’ 

Trump refused to take questions from the ABC reporter in the room.

‘I don’t take questions from ABC fake news after what you did with Stephanopoulos,’ he said.
