The View’s Joy Behar has accused Donald Trump of being “on Ozempic” after her cohost, Sunny Hostin, claimed the former president looked “skinny” when she saw him in person at the New York State Supreme Court on Thursday.
Sunny, 55, who previously worked as a federal prosecutor, was present in court during Trump’s hush money trial and was eager to share some details about what happened when his former executive assistant, Madeleine Westerhout, took the stand.
Joy, 81, was eager to know “what color orange” Trump was, as Sunny explained: “It’s a burnt sienna. I had never seen it in real life and I didn’t know it was that orange. Ana [Navarro] jokes about how orange he is… it almost looks like a radioactive orange.”
Sunny continued, “It’s very shocking to see it in real life, it really is, because he’s a tall person and now he’s a little bit thinner too. I don’t know if he’s taking the picture or what…” before Joy interjected and claimed : “He’s on Ozempic, you know that!” referring to the controversial drug used for weight loss.

Sunny shared more details from the courtroom: “He actually looks thinner, but then here’s the tea, okay… so he’s unlike any defendant sitting in a courtroom I’ve ever seen.
“It stretches like this,” she claimed, demonstrating with her arms outstretched. “He’s like a fist to lawyers, he’s taken a nap… in a way that most defendants don’t. They are instructed to sit there, pay attention and watch with some humility. That’s not Donald Trump.’
Comedian Joy then asked, “So out of all the seven dwarfs, is he grumpy, dorky or sleepy?” to which Sunny replied, “I think he’s a combination of Sleepy and Dopey,” as the live studio audience erupted in laughter.
Ana, 52, then joked: he would fart!’ as Sunny confirmed, “I didn’t smell the farts yesterday, I was downwind, but I didn’t smell the farts.”
The View panel then debated whether or not they think Trump will go to prison if convicted.
The former president has denied 34 counts of falsifying business records by concealing reimbursement to former attorney Michael Cohen of the $130,000 he paid to Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair.
Sharing her predictions, Sunny said, “I really think he will be convicted. There are [34] counts, he will be convicted of some of them, if not all of them. I think he will appeal the conviction.
“I think it matters that he’s convicted, and I don’t think he’ll serve four years in prison, but I can’t imagine him getting away with no jail time. I think that would send the wrong message; it would give the impression that he is above the law.”

Joy fired back, “I don’t believe he’s going to go to jail,” while Trump’s former White House aide Alyssa, 34, interjected, saying, “If I may just say, I want to be clear, I think that he will. be convicted. My skepticism is that I’m not sure if they’ve fully proven the case yet, but there are still two weeks to go.”
Ana then spoke up and said, “I don’t know, I don’t want to put all my eggs in the basket. I guess I don’t want to get my hopes up because I’ve gotten my hopes up so many times when it comes to Trump.
“I think he’s as guilty as he can be. I think in my eyes – but I realize I’m biased – this is absolutely proven in my eyes and I think part of the stupidity of Trump and his lawyers is denying this affair, which I think everyone with brain knows what happened and that’s why they have to go into such detail.’
“But that being said, I’m not holding my breath for him to be convicted,” she added when Sara Haines agreed, saying, “I think he’s guilty and I think he should be, I don’t think they will keep that up. he is responsible in the sense that he can serve at any time.”
“There are a lot of people who we all thought were guilty who didn’t end up going to jail, right?” Ana argued as Sunny argued: “It would be a signal that he broke the law, but he is above the law and I don’t think the American people will stand for that.”
Ana then said, “A lot of people felt that way about OJ Simpson, who was also a powerful, wealthy celebrity,” before joking, “But I think you should acquit this time if the condom doesn’t fit!”
