The View has a pretty crazy theory about why Trump wont tweet about themIn a segment blasting President Donald Trumps recent interview with the New York Times, The Views Joy Behar said Trump wasnt tweeting about the hosts of the daytime show because hes 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 hasnt really reciprocated, writing relatively little about The View especially since the departure of Rosie ODonnell, someone who hes 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 todays episode, host Joy Behar says she knows why hes backed off: fear.
Behar didnt stop there, following with:
And what is he even gonna say about us? He cant get me.
You want to say Im old? Okay, Im old;
Im fat? Okay, Im fat.
Youre stupid? Ive 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 cant control whether he tells the truth.

is very afraid of most if not all women, but especially these women.

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.
