The View hosts, known for their vocal criticisms of President Donald Trump, have reportedly faced pressure to tone down their anti-Trump rhetoric, according to a New York Post report. This directive came amid low morale on the set due to layoffs and cost-cutting measures. Brian Teta, the show's executive producer, reportedly instructed staffers to ease up on Trump-related commentary ahead of his 2021 inauguration. However, a source denied the claim, stating the show's popularity stems from its hosts' willingness to express their opinions openly. The View previously hosted Trump in 2011, and recent comments by co-host Joy Behar, calling the 2024 election "not normal" and Trump "not a normal person," have added to the tension.
