‘You’ve Gotta Clarify That’: The View Takes a Saucy Turn When Co-Host Says Trump Might Have ‘The Big D’

While discussing former President Donald Trump’s mental acuity on Friday, the co-hosts of ABC’s The View inadvertently took an X-rated turn.

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin , a former Trump staffer who has become an outspoken opponent, was explaining how Trump’s judgment could not be trusted if he was associating himself with people like right-wing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer . She went on to say that these kinds of lapses in judgment could be seen as evidence that Trump was going through a mental decline. But co-host Joy Behar wanted to know if Griffin was implying that there was something more severe afoot concerning Trump’s cognitive health :

Griffin: I have a bit of a theory which, I was very critical of Biden and what I saw as sort of the decline that came with age with him. I have said this, and I’m ringing this bell — there is a decline with Donald Trump. He’s never been the most eloquent person, that’s an overstatement.

But the judgment he’s exercising right now, when it’s not for him just about winning the White House, it’s also about staying out of jail. His criminal cases do not go away if he loses. And that he doesn’t have the judgment eight weeks out from an election to not have this fringe person who should be nowhere near the White House or mainstream politics advising him.

Or he’s espousing with 67 million people watching that “they’re eating the pets,” something is off. And I just feel like it’s not getting nearly enough attention. But the count —

Behar: Are you saying he has the “Big D”?

Griffin: I think he’s in decline.

Griffin continued, but co-host Ana Navarro had to back it up. And the studio audience knew why, as evidenced by their laughter.

Navarro: Wait, wait, wait, you got to clarify that.

Sunny Hostin : She means “dementia.”

Behar: Dementia. What are you talking about? Oh, “D,” I see. Never mind.
