Story summary

Joy Behar, a co-host on The View, unexpectedly invited Donald Trump to appear on her show despite previously suggesting he is "not long for this world."

A White House spokesperson harshly criticized Behar, calling her comments an example of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and dismissing her as "Joyless" and talentless.

The incident highlights ongoing tensions between political figures like Behar and Trump, with Behar previously urging Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment against him. This invitation, however, comes amid growing speculation about Trump's future health and political viability.
