Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle, appeared on “The View” this Thursday, and right from the get-go there were fireworks.
Literally within seconds of the segment beginning, co-host Whoopi Goldberg threw the first punch by refusing to say Trump Jr.’s full name, reportedly at the beckoning of fellow co-host (and anti-Trump zealot) Joy Behar.

“Over the past 5,000 shows, this table has welcomed thousands of guests with incredibly diverse points of view. After all, that’s what the show’s called,” she said.
It’s also called a joke, but that’s another story for another day.
“And we always have one goal in mind — to engage in passionate, hopefully productive conversation,” Goldberg continued. “And with all that said, please welcome the son of the gentleman in the white house, DJT, and Kimberley Guilfoyle.”
As she spoke, Behar could be heard in the background whispering, “Don’t say his name.”
The response on social media to this conspicuous jab has been fierce.
Look:
Absolutely pathetic. @WhoopiGoldberg can’t even say @realDonaldTrump or @DonaldJTrumpJr‘s name when introducing Don Jr. and @kimguilfoyle on #TheView .
You can even hear Joy Behar say “don’t say his name.” pic.twitter.com/5A0D2phIA2

While claiming to respect debate with people she disagrees with, Whoopi refuses to say “Trump” because… triggered. https://t.co/Y7CZyE97Rm

How rude! You would think a talking mop would at least be adult enough to say his proper name. pic.twitter.com/IMXlKzt9JT

Did you notice? @WhoopiGoldberg wouldn’t say @DonaldJTrumpJr name or that of his father in the introduction. Disrespectful and immature antics to be expected on @TheView @kimguilfoyle was referred to as the girlfriend.

Whoopi if we can say OBAMA – you can say Don Jr name! Don’t be a snobby B!

You get the picture.
FYI, Guilfoyle opined on the matter as well in a post-appearance tweet:
Yep! Now do the one of them asking about civility and toning down the rhetoric. Hypocrisy of the TRIGGERED left never disappoints. https://t.co/dny4MEoDdG

Granted, Goldberg has been abstaining from saying the president’s name — which his eldest son shares — for years now because of her Trump Derangement Syndrome.
She explained why in an interview with CNN last year.

Dovetailing back to the present, something unexpected occurred during Trump Jr.’s appearance on “The View.” The audience showed him some love.
Take for instance what happened when he posited a defense for his decision earlier this week to publicly reveal the name of the partisan whistleblower.
“I don’t regret doing it,” he said. “I don’t think I should have to forego my First Amendment rights. It’s out there. I read it in an article, I’ve been reading it for a week, I saw it on the Drudge Report.”
As he spoke, the crowd burst into applause, a move so unexpected that it provoked Behar into yelling, “Listen, this is not a MAGA rally, OK!?”
Watch:
?HOLY WOW ?
The View is getting completely owned by @DonaldJTrumpJr & @kimguilfoyle.
Far-Left hosts are freaking bc they lost their OWN studio audience – who is breaking into applause & cheering for Trump.

“Like, this is not some secret,” Jr. continued as the applause died down. “But to then say, because it’s Donald Trump Jr., because he’s an outspoken guy, to then create … why was there no outrage when Drudge Report … he puts it out there a few days ago, and nothing, crickets, no problem with that.”
Behar also squabbled with Jr. when he brought up her alleged history with blackface …
Just now on The View:
Joy Behar refutes @DonaldJTrumpJr’s claim that she wore blackface.
Here’s her as an “African Woman” for Halloween when she was 29. She described her makeup as “darker than her skin”. #TheView pic.twitter.com/OKfl29jsqi

The fact that Behar felt as if the studio had turned into a veritable MAGA rally seems to speak volumes. Unless the audience was purposefully stacked with Trump supporters beforehand, what happened seems to suggest that even some viewers of the otherwise far-left ABC talk show back the president, or at least in regard to the ongoing impeachment battle.
Speaking of which, observe how some in the audience reacted when …
Guilfoyle rightly noted that women are performing better under President Donald Trump’s policies:
We had the ladies of @TheView absolutely TRIGGERED! Hah!
Proud to stand with @DonaldJTrumpJr, @realDonaldTrump, and the entire Trump family. America loves the Trumps! #KAG2020 ??❤️ pic.twitter.com/scu6s3ORdm

Trump Jr. said he wishes Democrats would let his father “do his job”:
“I do spend a lot of time in Middle America … People are happy. They see the results. They see wages going up.”
“You have no idea how many Democrats come up to me and say, ‘Don, I wish they’d let @realDonaldTrump do his job.'”

Trump Jr. pointed out that his father donates all of his salary:
This doesn’t get enough coverage.
The “media always neglects” to mention that my father donates his entire salary. — @DonaldJTrumpJr pic.twitter.com/wVvWenVOsh

And Trump Jr. called out the show’s co-hosts for their hypocrisy vis-a-vis former Vice President Joe Biden’s alleged corruption in Ukraine:
Must Watch:
“Hunter Biden utilized [Joe Biden’s] vice presidency to magically end up on a board in Ukraine with a language he doesn’t speak, on a business he knows nothing about for $83K a month. If I did that, you guys would lose your minds.” — @DonaldJTrumpJr pic.twitter.com/pz2JazNQJF

If this was the response he received from the audience of “The View,” only God knows the type of response he’d received were he to ever run for office.
As it stands, his newly released book — “Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us” — is reportedly already a best seller.
