Joy Behar Asks 'The View' Panel If Trump Has 'The Big D' | HuffPost Entertainment

Things got saucy on The View Friday when Joy Behar asked a question about Donald Trump that some of the panelists immediately turned into a double entendre.

The panel was discussing Trumps recent consorting with far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who, as of late, has been reportedly traveling with the former president, despite criticism from MAGA faithful like Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Panelist and former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin said Loomers presence near the former president suggest hes not fit to serve.

That he doesnt 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, where hes espousing with 67 million people watching that theyre eating the pets, something is off, she said. And I just feel like its not getting nearly enough attention.

Behar quickly zeroed in on the something is off part of Griffins statement and asked, point-blank: Are you saying he has the Big D?

Griffin responded, I think hes in decline, before attempting to continue.

However, panelist Ana Navarro heard the Big D, and immediately demanded Griffin be more specific.

Wait, wait, wait, youve got to clarify that, Navarro said.

Panelist Sunny Hostin then came to the rescue and explained that Behar was referring to dementia.

Behar seemed confused at first by Navarros need for clarity, but quickly figured it out.

What are you talking about? Oh, D, I see. Never mind, Behar said, while some audience members tittered.

Earlier this week, Trump spokesman Steven Cheung defended the former president from criticism, telling The New York Times that Trump has more energy and more stamina than anyone in politics, and that the Democrats and Kamala are the ones who are diminished because of all the hurt they have caused this country.

Trump has never been diagnosed with dementia, though his nephew, Fred Trump III, said last month that the condition runs in the family.
