No, This Isn't A Bravo TV Show, It's Just Donald Trump Jr. On 'The View'
Donald Trump Jr. who is currently on a promotional tour for his new book Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us decided to stop by The View today along with his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle for one awkward date. Despite being there to discuss his book, it appears the show's co-hosts and guests only wanted to discuss the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump's impeachment inquiry, Jeffrey Epstein's death, Roman Polanski, and Joy Behar potentially donning blackface in an old photograph.
Due to the incredible political divide displayed on today's show, Twitter users couldn't help but discuss all of the drama that occurred on their televisions. Below is a collection of some of the strongest reactions to today's episode.
First up was of course a fun little discussion about Ukraine and Donald Trump's impeachment inquiry.
Then Meghan McCain started a debate about character in politics.

MeghanMcCain</a>: “You and your family have hurt a lot of people… does all of this make you feel good?”<br><br>Donald Trump Jr.: “I don’t think any of that makes me feel good, but I do think that we got into this because we wanted to do what’s right for America.” <a href="https://t.co/9coDcz2bFC">https://t.co/9coDcz2bFC</a> <a href="https://t.co/31TCMFJxE5">pic.twitter.com/31TCMFJxE5</a></p>— The View (TheView) November 7, 2019
But perhaps the wildest part of the interview happened when Donald Trump Jr. brought up Whoopi and Joy's past.

There were loads of supporters commending Donald Trump Jr. for agreeing to appear on the show and defending his father's administration.
Thanks for fighting on #TheView this morning

The old photograph of Joy Behar supposedly representing blackface suddenly became a meme.

Worth pointing out that @DonaldJTrumpJr was meant to be on The View to talk about his new book, "Triggered," yet the hosts didn't ask him a single question about it https://t.co/ZJ9l3FO5qc

Then there were users who couldn't understand why the president's son agreed to be on the show in the first place.
ABC should be ashamed of themselves the booking @DonaldJTrumpJr and his girlfriend on The View it's like a physical clickbait episode #TheView

And soon the tweets attacking Donald Trump Jr. arrived.

There's nothing you can do to get me to watch Don Jr on the View, but I will declare once again that anyone that does this stuff for fun is human trash. pic.twitter.com/HUklo8PkCb

I'm starting to think that amoebic spawn @DonaldJTrumpJr's beard isn't only on his face. Are we taxpayers paying for that Guilfoyle lady to babysit him? Why is she with him all the time, and why is she (and he, frankly) on #TheView?

How laughable and just plain sad that television programs are actually allowing Trash Jr @DonaldJTrumpJr to promote a piece of shit book that contributes absolutely nothing to society, literature or intelligence. That book is as useful as his existence is.

Following the show, both guests took to their own accounts to discuss how much fun they had.
I don't think I've enjoyed an interview this much in my life. Guess you could say that I just #Triggered The View!!! https://t.co/K0zMTij3Pw

Of course, as one user pointed out, this might have just been one big ploy to receive higher ratings.
Anyone think they are probably doing this for ratingshttps://t.co/dnorYe6f2m

Unfortunately, we're still a year away from the 2020 Election and we're already exhausted.

It was great though them trying to morally grandstand with the amount of "bad stuff" they have done.

The only way this could have been a bigger ratings grab was by having Don Senior on the show. Can't stand either party of this debacle, but I have to wonder how much time DTJR spent looking for things to fire back at the hosts when they would presumably go after him about his dad. The fact that Whoopi and Joy were trying to say the photo wasn't blackface, when only a few years ago they admitted it was, on the very same set, to Raven Symone, just shows how far people will go to just be right, even for a moment. I was honestly surprised Donald didn't bring up Whoopi's NY Friar's Club Roast which was hosted by then boyfriend Ted Danson, who in a bit put together with Whoopi's help, came out in full blackface and gave a speech with more use of the N-Word than Michael Richards on his worst night. At this point there isn't enough popcorn in the world to eat to properly enjoy this political and social meltdown that the next year will bring about.

Tl;dr The Left are purity-testing hypocrites with skeletons in their closet. The Right are self-aggrandizing assholes who only care about "triggering the libs." The media cares more about ratings.
Benoc
Why do you think the media promotes trump even at the detriment to their credibility with the amount of lying they do? It's a gold mine and the only thing keeping them above water.
