Joy Behar came completely unglued on her ABC talk show The View once again this week. This time, her meltdown came as she and her fellow co-hosts feuded over whether President Donald Trump’s TrumpRx plan is a good thing for struggling Americans or is tainted by mere association.
‘We’re All Going To Die…’
Last Monday, the billionaire Mark Cuban, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump’s over the years, stood on the White House stage with the president on Monday during the rollout of TrumpRx.gov. This new initiative is aimed at lowering the cost of 600 generic prescription drugs.
Through this program, the Trump administration will be partnering with various major private-sector companies, including Amazon, GoodRx and Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs. This will make Trump and Cuban business partners after years of them being political adversaries.
The far-left The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg made it clear that she saw no issue with this bipartisan move. This didn’t sit well with Behar, however, who reacted to Goldberg’s indifference by throwing a tantrum.
“First of all, you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas,” began Behar, 83. “Once Trump puts his name on prescriptions, we’re all going to die, okay? He put his name on the Trump Shuttle, the Trump Vodka, Trump University, the Trump Hotel, and my favorite, the casinos that all went bankrupt.”
How dramatic, Joy…
Behar’s Co-Hosts Weigh In
“The drugs don’t actually have his name,” responded co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who previously worked in the Trump administration before turning on the president.
“A medication I had to take for IVF is a tenth of the price on TrumpRx,” she continued. “Whatever, it’s tacky that his name on it. Mark Cuban has dedicated his life to bringing down prescription drug costs. The average family, one third of Americans cut back on essential foods and utilities to be able to cover their prescription drug costs. You’re not going to convince me that, just because Trump is involved, we should be like, ‘Screw it, don’t bring down prescription drugs.’”
Co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in to quip that in footage from this event, Trump said that he and Cuban have one thing in common, with the president saying, “We want to make people better, and keep them wealthy, right?”
“He said ‘wealthy’ which means to me that there’s something in it for him. This is not a well-intentioned person,” Hostin claimed.
Co-host Sara Haines fired back by pointing out just how many Americans struggle with medical costs. That’s why she believes that if Trump can actually get results on this issue, he can do whatever he wants.
‘You Are So Naïve!’
Behar still refused to back down, bringing up countries in Scandinavia, where governments have national health insurance. Farah Griffin hit back by saying that those countries have populations equivalent to New Jersey. This puts America in an entirely different situation.
“The two of you are so naïve!” Hostin exclaimed as she pointed at Farah Griffin and Haines.
Goldberg ended the debate by addressing the audience, saying, “We’ll see how it works and if it works for y’all, do it. If it doesn’t, keep it moving.”

Fox News contacted the White House for a response to Behar’s latest meltdown. White House spokesman Kush Desai simply replied, “Joy Behar is an idiot.”
We can’t argue with that!
