Trump doesn’t hold back how he feels about ‘The View’ co-host who used to work for him

President Donald Trump did not mince words on Tuesday in response to a question about “The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who worked in his previous administration.

A reporter asked for Trump’s response to Griffin’s saying that she would wear a MAGA hat if he successfully got all of the Israeli hostages released from Gaza, which occurred on Monday. Trump alleged that Griffin sent him letters praising him before joining “The View,” though it has not been confirmed whether or not she sent him any letters.

“I’ll tell you about Alyssa. She worked here. She gave me the most beautiful letter when the time came up, the election was rigged, I left. She gave me the most beautiful letter you’ve ever seen. I was ‘a great president. What a great job,’” Trump said. “Some of the letters have been quoted. This is Alyssa, whom I never thought was very outstanding. I figured she would not make it. And she didn’t have a big role here either. And then we had January 6, and she left after that or before that. But she gave me the most beautiful letters. And even the months after she left and while we weren’t here any longer, she sent other letters. [A] glowing letter, [a] beautiful letter. And then she got hired by The View and they gave her a couple of bucks and she changed her view very quickly.”

“I never thought she would make it. I never thought she had what it took in any way. But she’s on The View. But it just shows what a fraud The View is,” Trump continued.

WATCH:

Griffin has not yet lived up to her pledge from January to wear a MAGA hat, despite Trump having gotten the 20 living Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity released. The hostages’ freedom is part of the first phase of Trump’s peace agreement, along with the withdrawal of Israeli troops to a designated line.

Following the peace deal, Griffin stated that Trump and the administration deserve “tremendous credit” for the achievement.

Griffin worked as a press secretary for former Vice President Mike Pence and as a special assistant to Trump from October 2017 to September 2019. She then served as a press secretary for the Department of Defense. After leaving the administration in 2021, she joined “The View” and became a harsh critic of her former boss.

Griffin did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

“The View” co-host warned on several occasions that Trump was “wholly unfit” to be president and stated on the program that she voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the previous election. She stated on Election Day that Trump is “the most dangerous man” to ever serve as president during a segment on “The View.”
