The radical Left isn’t hiding it anymore. They’ve made their true feelings known about Donald Trump.
And the hosts of The View dream about another Trump assassination attempt on live TV.
During a recent episode of The View, host Whoopi Goldberg, with some input from cohost Joy Behar, floated an unusual theory involving Elon Musk and Vice President-elect JD Vance. The duo suggested that the pair might be planning a takeover to seize control of the White House.
On Thursday’s broadcast of the ABC talk show, Goldberg questioned Musk’s growing influence on policy as the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump draws near.
“I’ve been saying it for a while. I’ve been saying that Elon Musk believes he’s president. I do,” Goldberg remarked, pointing to the broader conversation about “who is in charge.”
Behar chimed in, adding her own take. “Well, you’ve been calling him vice president,” she said, to which Goldberg replied, “I called him vice president, I called him president, because I don’t know what JD is doing. I hardly ever — I don’t — I don’t remember the last time we even talked about JD.”
Behar speculated further: “He’s planning the presidency when they get rid of Trump.”
Goldberg then took it a step further, asking, “So you think it’s Musk — Musk-Vance?”
“It’s possible,” Behar responded.
Goldberg ended the segment with a pointed comment aimed directly at Trump — though she notably avoided using his name, a habit she has maintained. Addressing him as “You-Know-Who,” she quipped, “Hey, You-Know-Who, stay away from the stairways.”
ABC News moderators Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar claim Elon Musk and JD Vance are planning to kill Trump and usurp control of the government together as Musk/Vance.

When the show returned after a commercial break, Goldberg appeared to walk back her remarks, clarifying that her comment was not meant to suggest any harm toward Trump.
“Okay, I need to clean something up,” she stated. “Because my cat lays in wait for me on my stairs all the time and that’s what I was referring — I was thinking of that, I wasn’t trying to indicate that they were actually standing there with their legs out, hoping he would trip.”
Cohost Sunny Hostin backed up Goldberg’s explanation, adding, “No one wants anything done to the president.”
“It was light-hearted and it’s the holidays, come on,” Goldberg continued. “My goodness!”
Hostin reiterated, “We did not mean that anybody should hurt the president.”
The segment quickly drew criticism online. Some noted that The View falls under ABC’s news division, raising questions about the show’s editorial oversight.
Critics also highlighted a recent $15 million settlement ABC reached over false on-air statements made by This Week anchor George Stephanopoulos. The anchor had erroneously claimed that President-elect Donald Trump had been found “liable for r*pe” in the E. Jean Carroll case.
Commentators didn’t hold back on social media. Chad Gilmartin wrote, “Fresh off a $15 million defamation settlement, ABC allows The View to fantasize about assassination plots against President-elect Trump.”
Stephen L. Miller echoed the sentiment, writing, “The View falls under ABC’s network news division. Will just keep reminding you of that.”
As The View continues to straddle the line between entertainment and political commentary, moments like these remind everyone just how unhinged the the radical Leftist hosts really are.
