Donald Trump’s hair is a hot topic, and a source of flack between him and Joy Behar

As Joy Behar memorably told Us Weekly, she and former president Donald Trump didn’t start off on the wrong foot. In fact, “The View” host bragged, “I was one of the first to run my hand through Donald Trump’s hair on TV to see if it was real.” However, she found herself a victim of his ire after claiming “he wears a wig,” leading Trump to get “really pissed,” as Behar informed E! News. Getting into trouble with the former reality star obviously isn’t ideal. Behar recalled she subsequently received a letter from Trump’s legal team laying out how he was “livid about the comment Joy made on air yesterday.” It stated, “He does not wear a wig. She can come over to the office and pull it and see for herself that it won’t come off.” 

They added ominously, “People over there need to check their facts before running their mouths.” Clearly, the former commander-in-chief cares a lot about his appearance. That didn’t stop Behar from taking aim at the former commander-in-chief, however. During his time in office, she and co-host Whoopi Goldberg criticized Trump for using divisive nicknames for his enemies (via Deadline), poked holes in his story about supposedly making a miraculous recovery from COVID-19 (via People), and even suggested Trump won’t run again in 2024 “unless he does it from Rikers Island” (via TheWrap). Behar also provoked hilarity amongst her “View” colleagues in 2021 when she suggested Trump “pooped” in his pants (via the Independent), so clearly she’s not afraid of him.

However, Behar doesn’t regret having O’Reilly on since, in many ways, it established “The View” as a serious talk show rather than throwaway fluff. The iconic star has gotten into plenty of trouble over the years — more, in fact, than most viewers likely even realize. Still, as Behar reasoned, “Any conversation that talks about politics or religion is going to go off the rails.” Besides, now more than ever these conversations are vital, as the host argued. But Behar has made some enemies over the years, most notably former president Donald Trump.
