Have you noticed how some celebrities blame everything on President Trump? If their coffee is cold, it’s Trump. If it rains on their beach day, it’s Trump. This blame game has become so common that it’s almost a comedy routine itself. But sometimes, the finger-pointing gets so silly that you just have to laugh.

The ladies of The View took this blame game to new heights recently. When they heard about a popular late-night show ending, they didn’t blame money problems or changing TV habits. Nope! They saw a sinister plot by the president himself. Their reaction was so over-the-top that it makes those old alien conspiracy theories look reasonable.

The hosts of The View had a complete meltdown when discussing Stephen Colbert’s show being canceled. Joy Behar claimed it wasn’t about money at all – it was because “King” Trump is “coming for the comedians” and doesn’t want “court jesters” making fun of him.

From ‘The Daily Wire’:

Joy Behar claimed on Tuesday that late-night comedian Stephen Colbert had his show canceled because “King” President Donald Trump was “coming for the comedians” and not allowing the “court jesters” to do their jobs…

Cohost Sunny Hostin complained that Colbert’s dismissal — which appears to have been based on net losses due to insufficient ad revenue — amounted to “the dismantling of our democracy, This is the dismantling of our Constitution.”

But Sunny Hostin took the drama even further. She actually claimed that canceling a TV show was destroying America itself!

“If the comedians are being attacked, then that means our Constitution is being dismantled,” Hostin declared. “This is the dismantling of our democracy. This is the dismantling of our Constitution.”

Yes, you read that right. A business decision about a TV show is now apparently equal to tearing up the Constitution. Someone should check if James Madison included a section about late-night comedy shows in the founding documents.

Money Matters (But Not to The View)

What The View hosts conveniently ignored was the simple fact that Colbert’s show was losing a ton of money. The show cost around $100 million to produce but only brought in about $60 million in ad revenue. That’s a $40 million loss – not exactly pocket change, even for a big network.

Sara Haines, to her credit, tried to inject some reality into the conversation. She pointed out that “linear TV” is struggling and advertisers aren’t spending like they used to. But her co-hosts weren’t interested in boring things like math and business.

Paramount’s statement made it crystal clear: this was “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.” Not a political conspiracy. Not the end of democracy. Just a business that didn’t want to keep losing millions of dollars.

Living in an Alternate Reality

The View’s reaction shows how some in Hollywood live in a completely different world than the rest of us. In their universe, TV shows aren’t canceled because they lose money – they’re canceled because of evil political plots.

What’s really funny is that Trump had absolutely nothing to do with CBS’s decision. He doesn’t run the network. He doesn’t control their budget. But somehow, he still gets the blame!

This isn’t the first time The View hosts have made wild claims about Trump. Just last month, they blamed him for summer heat waves. Before that, they suggested he was somehow responsible for rising grocery prices – as if the president personally sets the price of milk and eggs. They seem to see his influence everywhere – like children seeing monsters in the closet. The difference is most children eventually grow out of it.

The next time your favorite TV show gets canceled, remember The View’s reaction. Maybe it’s not about ratings or profits. Maybe it’s a sign that democracy is crumbling before our eyes! Or maybe – just maybe – it’s just a TV show that cost too much money and not enough people were watching.
