During Friday’s episode of the ABC talk show “The View,” radically liberal co-host Joy Behar baselessly questioned whether Melania Trump will “dump” her husband if he does not win this year’s presidential election.

“She’s stuck with him so far, but if he loses the election, do you think she’ll dump him?” questioned Behar, 81.
“She must be sicker of him than we are at this point,” she added.
Behar’s co-host Ana Navarro chimed in to reply, “I’m not sure there’s anybody sicker of him than we are.”
Navarro went on to say that while Melania “made a deal with the devil” in marrying Donald Trump, “she was publicly humiliated in the process and had every right to be angry.”
When asked for her take, liberal co-host Sunny Hostin admitted that she can be “petty,” adding that she “enjoyed” some of the claims made about Melania in the White House reporter Katie Rogers’ new book “American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady.“
“Apparently, she likes watching CNN and he likes watching Fox, so there’s a big argument there,” Hostin said with a smile.
“Thank you for the viewership, Melania,” interjected Navarro, who has worked at CNN for years.

Melania To Be ‘Very Active’ In Trump Campaign
Despite what Behar and the other ladies of “The View” said about Melania, she has always remained publicly loyal to her husband. Last month, former President Trump told Fox News that Melania will be “very active” in his campaign this year.
“She wants to make America great again too,” Trump said of Melania. “I rely on her for advice and all the others. I think she will be very active.”
Trump later doubled down on this during a Fox News Town Hall.
“It’s funny, she was a very successful model, very, very successful, and yet she was a private person. She’s going to be out a lot. Not because she likes doing it, but she likes the results,” he said. “She wants to see this country really succeed. She loves the country.”
“You know, a lot of first ladies would go out — they want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he’s not introducing them,” he continued. “If I didn’t introduce Melania, she’d be very happy about it. She’s just a different kind of a person.”

Melania’s Devotion To Barron
Trump went on to praise Melania for her devotion to their 17-year-old son Barron.
“Her life revolves around that boy. It’s so important to her,” Trump explained. “At the same time, it also revolves around our country and the success of our country. She’s raised a lot of money for charity. She’s a private person.”
“And she loves the country,” he concluded. “She’s going to be out a lot, but she does it for the good of the country, not for her. She’s somebody with a lot of confidence. She doesn’t need that.”
This comes at a difficult time for Melania, as she lost her beloved mother Amalija Knavs at the start of the year. This has led to Melania being largely absent from her husband’s campaign trail in the months since then.
Despite what Behar had to say about her, however, all indications show that Melania will indeed take an “active” role in campaigning for Trump once this period of mourning ends for her.
