Donald Trump is still fixated on Barack Obama.
On the Wednesday, July 23, episode of The View, the co-hosts called out the president for switching topics when he was asked about the idea of Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell being interviewed. Instead of responding, Trump said the country should focus on Obama, whom he accused of teaming up with Russia to try and interfere in a presidential election.
Joy Behar Believes Donald Trump Is 'Jealous' of Barack Obama

Joy Behar said Donald Trump is 'jealous' of Barack Obama for being 'smart' and 'handsome.'
Joy Behar believes he named-dropped the ex-POTUS because he's "so jealous of Obama."
"Because Obama is everything that he is not: trim, smart, handsome, happily married, can sing ‘Let’s Get Together’ better than Al Green," the comedian insisted. "And Trump cannot stand it. It’s driving him crazy. Green is not a good color [on him]."
Sunny Hostin agreed, noting, "It’s like Obama still lives rent-free in his head. I think Michelle Obama still lives rent-free in his head. I think the fact that [the Obamas' eldest daughter] Malia graduated from Harvard still lives rent-free in his head, and it’s just the very swag that Obama has that he will never have."

Sunny Hostin believes the Obama family lives 'rent-free' in Donald Trump's head due to his jealousy.
"Everyone knows President Obama did nothing," Sara Haines said, then referring to an official denial released from Obama's office, calling Donald's allegations "bizarre."
"In that quote, it says, ‘We don’t normally address this.’ I’m glad you felt the need he really didn’t, because no one believes him," Sara continued. "He’s like a toddler that gets cornered."

Whoopi Goldberg Calls Out Trump's Immunity Policy

Whoopi Goldberg noted that Donald Trump made all presidents immune in court.
Whoopi Goldberg pointed out that even if the former commander-in-chief did interfere, he shouldn't face consequences since Donald influenced a new rule in which presidents are immune.
"A sitting president just accused a former president of treason. Now, do people realize how serious an allegation this is? And for me, didn’t the Supreme Court under the guise of this president, say that presidents have immunity?" she questioned. "Because you didn't say only you have immunity, you said 'presidents.' So this means you have no right to take him to court."
The costars also said Barack should file a defamation lawsuit against Donald.
The Co-Hosts Poke Fun at Trump's Flub

'The View' co-hosts couldn't help but laugh when Donald Trump used the phrase 'sedatious' instead of 'seditious.'
The TV stars also had a laugh over Donald saying Barack was "sedatious," when he most likely meant "seditious."
"What did he say?" asked Whoopi, to which Alyssa Farah Griffin said with a smile, "I think he wants to be sedated?"
