The View why Trump wont tweet about them

“The View” has a pretty crazy theory about why Trump won’t tweet about them

In a segment blasting President Donald Trump’s recent interview with the New York Times, “The View’s” Joy Behar said Trump wasn’t tweeting about the hosts of the daytime show because “he’s scared of us.”

Trump, a near-constant Twitter user and the President of the United States, has never hesitated to send disparaging tweets about his opponents: men, women, political, personal, etc.

But for all they talk about him, Trump hasn’t really reciprocated, writing relatively little about “The View” — especially since the departure of Rosie O’Donnell, someone who he’s tweeted about nearly 100 times over the years.

Unlike shows like “Morning Joe,” a favorite — and frequent — target for some time, Trump has tweeted about “The View” maybe once every other month. In 2015, he only talked about them seven times; in 2016, just six times; and last year, never.

On today’s episode, host Joy Behar says she knows why he’s backed off: fear.

Behar didn’t stop there, following with:

“And what is he even gonna say about us? He can’t get me.
You want to say I’m old? Okay, I’m old;
I’m fat? Okay, I’m fat.
You’re stupid? I’ve heard that before.
Not funny, have no talent? He said all of that about me already.
So keep it coming!”

At this time, Trump has not responded to the broadcast — which saw Ana Navarro call him out for “24 false claims, another word for lies, in a 31 minute interview”
and Behar pile on, calling him a “pathological liar” who “can’t control” whether he tells the truth.

No offense to the ladies of The View, but Trump already has his tiny little hands full.

The Russian investigation has him consumed and likely has drawn all of his attention to other targets, so he's more pre-occupied with attacking individuals who have far more power to bring him down than just an afternoon talk show.

You know, like the "Deep State Justice Department." Whatever the hell that means.

Not a show goes by that Steven doesn't completely skewer 45, but I never read any Colbert hate tweets from him.
