The View’s Ana Navarro Dismisses Trump’s ‘Hare-Brained’ Talk of a Third Term: ‘He Doesn’t Want Us to Keep Talking About Signalgate’
Ana Navarro said on Monday on ABC’s The View that President Donald Trump made comments to NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday about potentially seeking a third White House term to distract the media.
Navarro described Trump as the “distractor-in-chief” and said she immediately concluded the comments were intended to deflect attention away from members of his administration discussing sensitive attack plans on Yemen on the Signal app.
“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump told Welker by phone Sunday about a third term. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”
“I’m not joking,” he added. “But I’m not — it is far too early to think about it.”
On Monday’s The View, cohost Sunny Hostin blasted Trump over the remarks.
After saying she believed Truimp wanted to emulate Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“So in order to really legally do this, he would probably have to change the 22nd Amendment and that would, you would need like 34 states, three-fourths of states to ratify that,” she added. “So I don’t think it’s ever gonna happen. That doesn’t mean he’s not gonna try.
Navarro chimed in that she believed Trump’s comments were intended to get the media to turn the page on Signalgate and other issues.
“Look, you know, no matter how insane, stupid, hare-brained, and lawless, I think something he says might be, I have learned the lesson of taking him seriously. But what was interesting is this was a hot topic for all of us and none of us picked it this morning because we’re all on to him.”
He is the distractor in chief. So he doesn’t want us to keep talking about Signalgate — which is a real threat to national security and everyday more details are revealed that show us how incompetent and reckless his national security team is. He doesn’t want us to talk about the way he is tanking the stock market with his imbecilic tariffs. What he’s calling Liberation Day should be called Hypertension Day because it’s going to give us all a heart attack. He doesn’t want us to talk about Andry, the 30-year-old gay hairdresser, Venezuelan, who, without any due process, just because he had a tattoo that said mom with a crown and dad with a crown, was grabbed and disappeared to the hellhole in El Salvador. He doesn’t want us to be talking about any of those things, and he wants us to be talking about this.
