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

Spilling more details from inside the courtroom, Sunny said: ‘He’s actually looking thinner, but then here’s the tea, okay… so he is unlike any defendant sitting in a court room that I’ve ever seen.
‘He’s stretching out like this,’ she claimed, while demonstrating with her arms out. ‘He’s like fist bumping with attorneys, he took a little nap… like most defendants do not do that. They are instructed to sit there, pay attention, look with some humility. That’s not Donald Trump.’
Comedian Joy then asked: ‘So out of all the seven dwarfs is he Grumpy or Dopey or Sleepy?’ to which Sunny replied: ‘I think he’s Sleepy and Dopey combination,’ as the live studio audience burst out laughing.
Ana, 52, then joked: He’s allegedly farty!’ as Sunny confirmed: ‘I did not smell the farting yesterday, I was sitting down wind but I did not smell the farting.’
The View panel then debated whether or not they think Trump will go to jail if he’s convicted.
The former President has denied 34 counts of falsifying business records by hiding the reimbursement to former lawyer Michael Cohen over the $130,000 he paid Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair.
Sunny shared her predictions and said: ‘I really think that he will be convicted. There are [34] counts, he’ll be convicted of some of them, if not all of them. I do believe that he will appeal the conviction.
‘I think it will matter that he was convicted, and I think he won’t serve four years in prison, but I can’t imagine that he gets off with no jail time. I think that would send the wrong message, it will send that he’s above the law.’

Joy fired back: ‘I don’t believe he’ll go to jail,’ as Trump’s former White House aide Alyssa, 34, chimed in and said: ‘If I could just mention, I want to be clear, I think he will be convicted. My skepticism is that I’m not sure they’ve proven the case completely yet but there’s two more weeks of this.’
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 when it comes to Trump so many times.
‘I think he’s guilty as can be. I think, in my eyes – but I realize I’m biased – in my eyes, this has been absolutely proven and I think part of the stupidity of Trump and his lawyers is denying this affair, which I think anybody and everybody with a brain knows happened and that’s why they’re having to go into such salacious detail.’
‘But all that being said, I’m not holding my breath that he gets convicted,’ she added as Sara Haines agreed and said: ‘I think he’s guilty and I think he should be, I don’t think they’ll hold him accountable in the sense of serving any time.’
‘There’s a lot of people who we all thought were guilty that didn’t end up going to jail, right?’ Ana argued as Sunny claimed: ‘It would send a message that he broke the law but he is above the law and I don’t think the American people will stand for it.’
Ana then pointed out: ‘A lot of people felt that way about O.J. Simpson who was also a powerful, rich celebrity,’ before joking: ‘But I guess this time, if the condom don’t fit, then you must acquit!’
