Joy Behar Sends ‘The View’ Audience Into Groans As Sara Haines Calls Her Out For “Ruining” A Story
Former president Donald Trump‘s nephew Fred Trump III is speaking out against the Republican nominee in his new book All in the Family. And on this morning’s episode of The View, Fred left the co-hosts shocked by one unsettling remark his uncle allegedly made about his disabled son.
Fred’s son William Trump was born with a “rare genetic disorder causing severe developmental and intellectual disabilities,” as Sara Haines explained during their View interview. Fred ultimately lobbied Donald to establish a medical fund for William, which he consistently replenished.
(Editor’s Note: The View is currently on hiatus; contrary to what you may have heard, The View was not canceled today. This article was originally published on July 30, 2024 when this episode first aired. The View will return with new episodes in September.)
“The fund was only necessary because my inheritance was taken away from me and Mary [Trump] because Donald hatched a plan. And he was my trustee,” Fred claimed.
The author told the co-hosts that “it doesn’t get any easier” to recall Donald’s response when Fred asked him to put more money in the fund.
“I called him to say, ‘Donald, the fund is running low.’ And without skipping a beat, he said, ‘Your son doesn’t recognize you. Let him die. And move down to Florida,’” Fred said, while the audience let out an audible gasp. “Now, I can’t explain how anybody could say that about another human being, least of all, your grand-nephew.”
“Donald had never met William,” Fred continued. “He didn’t understand the inspiration William is to people. Anyone who William meets and if you look at the smiles he has, he is quite something.”
Joy Behar fired back that Donald’s “policies will let people die.”
Fred recalled other instances of growing up with the Celebrity Apprentice alum, including the time he allegedly used a racial slur twice (which Trump has since denied) and another time where he allegedly “wanted to see” a Black child “put in jail” for stealing Fred’s bike.
After not voting for Trump in both 2016 and 2020, Fred declared that he would be voting for Vice President Kamala Harris in November.
“And if I’m asked, I will campaign for her without hesitation,” he concluded.
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
