NEW YORK (AP) — The hosts of ABC’s “The View” clapped back at Donald Trump on Thursday, a day after the Republican nominee for president insulted co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg.

“I have a personal legal note,” said Hostin. “Donald Trump, I want to thank you for personally telling so many lies and committing so many alleged crimes and providing us with material on a daily basis. You help us do our jobs and I’m so appreciative.”

On Wednesday, Trump, campaigning in Pennsylvania, called Hostin, who is Black and Latina, “dumber than Kamala,” saying: “That is one dumb woman. Sorry. I’m sorry, women, she’s a dummy.”

Later, he turned on Goldberg, who is also Black, calling her “demented.” Trump claimed he once hired Goldberg to perform and accused her of having a “foul mouth.”

1. Whoopi's foul mouth vs. Trump's foul mind. Whoopi wins. n/t

2. "Dumb women."

"I will be your protector"

Um ... really?

Whatta fucking moron. The way to gain women's votes is to call them dumb, yeah, sure.

3. His insults aren't even clever. He should use his genius words.

4. He sounds so dumb when he calls people dumb

He can't articulate a reason. He can't be specific about what they've done to evoke the insult. Does he know that most politicians give a reason for criticizing their political opponents? That they make an argument to prove their point; actually attempt to earn the credence of their listeners?

He thinks he doesn't have to. If he says it, it's true. He stopped supplying evidence long ago.

He can't even come up with a variety of insults, so he repeats himself. dumber than, one dumb woman, a dummy. Your average third grader could do better.

We all know the real reason is they have criticized him. And that he's projecting. It's the worst insult he can think of because he fears the same about himself.

Does he know we know that? Or is he too dumb?

5. Gee, I wonder why Trump called out the only 2 View hosts that are black? What could the reason be?

6. Of course it's the 2 Beautiful & talented Black women he's picked to denigrate

He messed w the wrong bunch. It's their high profile Black job he covets.
I love all the very intelligent & talented women on this show. Loved the welcome they gave to Kamala as well.

7. Donald Trump has the foulest mouth in politics.

And anyone who hire Whoopi for anything would know about her "foul mouth" standup routines, so Trump is again showing he has no self awareness, no outside awareness, and no sense of humor.

9. I'll bet Trump is just dying to call Kamala...

... a "bitch" at a rally and I'm sure his worshippers would just LOVE to hear it. They'd go bonkers.

8. Well what can one say.

He does have many supporting him. He knows them better than anybody else, I guess.
