The View's Silence on Trump-Musk Fallout: A Censored Episode?
SCANDAL ROCKS THE VIEW: Hosts MIA on Trump-Musk Feud, Leaving Fans Gobsmacked
In a shocking development that left fans of The View fuming, the ABC daytime show completely dodged discussing the explosive fallout between Donald Trump and Elon Musk on Friday's episode. The public feud, which erupted on Thursday over their differences on Trump's "big beautiful bill," was the hot topic of conversation everywhere, but not on The View.
The President and the Tesla billionaire had been engaged in a dramatic public showdown, with Musk calling for Trump to be impeached after linking him to Jeffrey Epstein, and Trump threatening to deport the Space X boss. Fans were eagerly anticipating the hosts' take on the sensational news, but instead, they got a completely different topic - Malia Obama's decision to drop her last name as she starts a new career in filmmaking.
The View's bosses have since explained that Friday's episode was actually taped on Thursday, June 5, which would explain why the show didn't address the Trump-Musk spat. However, this didn't sit well with fans who took to social media to express their disappointment and frustration.
"Cannot believe you're not talking about what everyone else is talking about today!" one fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "This must be a taped show," added another. "I'm so disappointed. I was looking forward to it."
Others were left confused, wondering if the show had been censored or if they had simply missed the mark. "Is this taped!? Or did they get censored?!" one fan asked. "I want 'The View' on the girl fight yesterday!"
Some fans even joked about switching channels due to the lack of discussion on the Trump-Musk drama. "No talk about the biggest and best news in ages, very disappointing!" blasted another.
Meanwhile, Trump seemed unfazed by the public feud, appearing to shrug it off during an interview with Politico last night. "Oh it's okay," he said nonchalantly, before touting his recent polling numbers. "It's going very well, never done better. The numbers are through the roof, the highest polls I've ever had and I have to go."
However, Trump did hint at taking action against Musk and his companies, threatening to terminate their federal contracts with allies suggesting he be stripped of security clearances.
The View's decision to ignore the sensational news has left fans wondering if they were simply trying to avoid controversy or if they were censored from discussing it. Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure - The View missed the mark on this one!
