Alyssa Farah Griffin made a promise her co-hosts would probably prefer she doesn’t keep on this morning’s episode of The View.
During the second Hot Topics segment of the day, Griffin was pleased to see that president-elect Donald Trump and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden were able to hold a seemingly friendly conversation while sitting next to each other at the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral over the weekend.
“Not just America’s allies are watching, but America’s adversaries are watching that moment,” Griffin said. “And the world was watching the election, waiting with bated breath to know what was going to happen.”
“To know that there’s a peaceful transition of power that — despite my warnings and others about my concerns about Donald Trump, which are still very real — that America’s gonna move forward in that the First Lady is gonna be able to be cordial to him on the world stage,” she continued.
Griffin, who has been publicly critical of Trump since resigning from his administration in 2020, was also happy that Trump met with French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to discuss the war in Ukraine during his trip abroad.
“That’s something I care deeply about and I want Donald Trump to come around to perhaps continuing to support Ukraine and standing by the U.S.’s position,” Griffin said.
While the Republican co-host was complimentary of her former boss, she explained that that didn’t mean she was “changing [her] tune” about him.
“My point when I say, ‘I’m not going to be apocalyptic,’ it’s not ‘changing a tune,’ it’s not making every single thing a five-alarm fire,” she said, noting that if Trump is able to get Hamas to release the Israeli hostages, “I promise I will wear a MAGA hat for one day on this show and say, ‘Thank you for doing it.’”
“You have to be able to cheer for wins when they happen and then call out relentlessly the wrongdoing,” she added.
Referring to Griffin’s promise, Sunny Hostin warned, “Please don’t do that,” while Griffin joked, “And she’ll knock it right off my head!”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
