Joy Behar, co-host of the daytime talk show "The View," extended an invitation to former President Donald Trump to appear on the program, despite her history of critical remarks about him. During an interview with New York Magazine on Friday, Behar acknowledged their longstanding political rivalry while expressing willingness to have Trump as a guest again.

Behar, who has previously voiced her desire to see Trump removed from office, commented on his health, saying, "You know Trump is not long for this world. He seems ill. He does not seem like he’s well." She also indicated that she would like to see Trump face scrutiny, stating, "I’d love Donald Trump to take the heat."

The former president’s team responded sharply to Behar’s remarks. A White House spokesperson issued a statement to Fox News Digital that described Behar as "an extremely unlikeable, talentless hack with a poorly rated TV show" and accused her of suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome." The statement further criticized Behar’s public comments, saying, "I lose brain cells every single time I have the displeasure of hearing her speak."

The exchange highlights the ongoing contentious relationship between Trump and media figures who have openly opposed him throughout his political career. Behar’s invitation suggests a degree of openness to dialogue despite personal and ideological differences, even as her comments on Trump’s health drew a forceful response from his representatives.
