ALondon museum of which Princess Kate has been royal patron since 2018 has announced a new exhibition trail dedicated to the career and stage outfits of Taylor Swift.

The princess’ husband, Prince William, and the couple’s two eldest children—Prince George and Princess Charlotte—were photographed with Swift at a performance of her Eras Tour show last month.

The Victoria & Albert Museum is the world’s largest museum of decorative arts and design, holding over 4.5 million objects in its collection. Its home site is located in the South Kensington area of London, a short walk from William and Kate’s official residence at Kensington Palace.

On Monday, the museum said that it will hold a satellite exhibition throughout its South Kensington building. This will feature 16 outfits worn by Swift at various points in her career, titled the “Taylor Swift | Songbook Trail.”

The exhibits will also feature instruments, lyrics and awards, with personal loans from Swift’s own archive. It will run from July 27 to September 8, and admission is free for all visitors. The exhibition will coincide with Swift’s run of five performances of her Eras Tour, which are to be held at Wembley Stadium, London, from August 15 to 20.

It was at the first night of her Eras Tour shows in London on June 21 that Swift had three senior royals in attendance. This was Prince William’s 42nd birthday and, after the show, both the official Kensington Palace social-media channels and Swift’s accounts posted photos from a special backstage meeting.

William and Kate’s accounts released an image of Swift taking a selfie with the prince, George and Charlotte captioned: “Thank you @taylorswift13 for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour.”

Swift’s post was more personal, featuring her royal selfie with boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, also in frame. “Happy Bday M8!” she wrote to William. “London shows are off to a splendid start.”

Princess Kate did not attend as she continues to take time out of the public eye while receiving treatment following a cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

This was not the first time that Swift and William had met. In 2013, the royal and singer both attended a charity gala given at Kensington Palace for the homelessness charity, Centrepoint, of which William is patron.

At one point in the evening, the pair took to the stage with musical guest Jon Bon Jovi and took part in a karaoke moment, singing along to the hit song “Livin’ on a Prayer.”

The Victoria and Albert Museum has honored a number of celebrities over the years, including David Bowie and Naomi Campbell.

Kate Bailey, the institution’s senior curator of theater and performance, praised Swift’s creativity and style ahead of the new displays.

“We are delighted to be able to display a range of iconic looks worn by Taylor Swift at the V&A this summer. Each celebrating a chapter in the artist’s musical journey,” Bailey said, per a news release.

“Taylor Swift’s songs like objects tell stories, often drawing from art, history and literature. We hope this theatrical trail across the museum will inspire curious visitors to discover more about the performer, her creativity and V&A objects.”

Justin Timberlake Avoids Talk of DWI Plea, Hypes New Tour Dates, Christmas Song on ‘Tonight Show’

Justin Timberlake was back in comfortable confines on Monday night (Sept. 16) when he visited The Tonight Show to hang with his good pal and frequent sketch partner host Jimmy Fallon. After a lengthy, laudatory pre-interview wind-up running down the multi-hyphenate singer’s resumé, Timberlake took a seat as Fallon assured his friend “you’re well-liked here.”

The visit was Timberlake’s first public appearance since pleading guilty to impaired driving in New York’s Sag Harbor Village Court on Friday, where he was sentenced to 25 hours of community service and hit with $760 in fines and court fees. “I did not live up to the standards that I try to hold for myself,” he told the court, before addressing the judge, “I should’ve had better judgment. I understand the seriousness of this.”

Timberlake did not address the plea deal or the DWI incident during the visit, which focused on the singer’s Forget Tomorrow world tour; on Tuesday morning (Sept. 17), JT announced a string of 10 new 2025 dates for the outing (see below).

The friends mostly joked around, with Fallon demurring when Timberlake repeatedly suggested that the host would come out and do a mandatory warm-up set before Justin’s upcoming Barclays Center show in New York on Oct. 7. “I’m not doing anything,” Fallon assured him. “I’m going as a fan… screaming.”

“Shouldn’t Jimmy come out and do a 15-minute set?” JT baited Fallon as the studio audience howled at the idea.

Fallon also noted that he’s always giving Timberlake advice about touring, for example, suggesting he sit on a stool and play for 45 minutes. Instead, Timberlake plays for more than two hours and as Fallon noted, does a dramatic bit during “Mirrors” where he flies out over the crowd on a giant robotic arm that looks cool, but has led to some regrets from the singer.

“I’m going to say that was my idea… After 53-54 shows,” Timberlake said haltingly before standing up and getting into an arms wide open, leaning forward pose, “I was up there one time, just, like, suspended over everyone. I was like, ‘I could be on a stool right now.’”

“Yes! I told you that!” Fallon said enthusiastically, requesting that when he comes to the show he would like to not be able to see Timberlake that well. Clarifying, Jimmy said he doesn’t want such good seats next time, getting up from his desk and standing within a foot of JT to demonstrate his usual VIP status.

<cs-card “=”” class=”card-outer card-full-size ” card-fill-color=”#FFFFFF” card-secondary-color=”#E1E1E1″ gradient-angle=”112.05deg” id=”native_ad_inarticle-3-8a302b47-ae93-47f7-9990-cec50f19f1a4″ size=”_2x_1y” part=””>

“I don’t know what to do with myself,” Fallon admitted of being so up-close-and-personal. “I don’t dance… and so I just stand there and I bore your wife (actress Jessica Biel), so she leaves me [and] I’m by myself. It’s too much pressure for me.”

“Do you not want to come to the show?” Timberlake wondered. Amid the giggles and the inside jokes, Fallon teased a new holiday song the pair recorded for the host’s upcoming Christmas album, tracked at New York’s Electric Lady studio. “You’ll Be There,” described as a a “holiday bromance” tune, mixes sleigh bells and ukulele for a chilled-out island vibe, with JT singing, “The only thing on my wish list/ Is that you’ll be home for Christmas.”

The pair also played a round of “Playlist Playoff,” in which Fallon and Timberlake competed to pick the perfect song for different scenarios, including a pre-workout jam and the track they’d want on repeat if stuck in an elevator together, which prompted Justin to pay tribute to recently deceased R&B icon Maze frontman Frankie Beverly.

Travis Kelce’s dating dealbreakers were revealed in 2016, with them now unearthed as the Kansas City Chiefs star cosies up to Taylor Swift amid swirling romance rumours

Taylor Swift is rumored to be dating American footballing hunk Travis Kelce, with his very racy dating dealbreakers now unearthed.

Back in 2016, the hunk had his own reality-dating show called Catching Kelce. The series saw the NFL football player, who was also a very eligible bachelor at the time, date 50 women from 50 states. The women all vied to win the heart of the pro football player.
In the series, Travis, with some help from his famous friends and family, attempted to find the woman who would become his perfect teammate. At the time Taylor Swift was starting to date Joe Alwyn, meaning she wasn’t in the picture whatsoever. And now in a resurfaced clip from around the same time, when Travis appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, he made a very raunchy confession.

Real Housewives of New York City star Ramona Singer also appeared on the show, with her asking Travis: “Is it a dealbreaker if a girl doesn’t like to give oral sex?” The hunk then responded: “Ahh! Sounds like a dealbreaker to me.”

But this dealbreaker wasn’t the only one Travis revealed, because he revealed another that might come as a surprise. The hunk revealed that his other dealbreaker was women who would not have sex with him after three dates. He candidly admited: “The third date, that’s the breaker right there… I don’t want to say it’s a dealbreaker, but it … puts some questions in there. Very classy gentleman. Those first two dates are top-of-the-line dates.”

Elsewhere during his appearance on Andy Cohen’s show, Travis said that he wasn’t keen on women who were “obsessed with taking selfies”, and touching on how he liked women who were “comfortable and very confident” in how they looked.

Justin Timberlake kept a low-profile as he was pictured for the first time since pleading guilty to a DWI charge. 

The NSYNC alum, 43, was seen stepping out of a building, clad in a look that was part laid-back, part fashionable.

Justin sported an off-white ‘RC’ cap, sunglasses, faded jeans, and trendy black loafers. The Bye Bye Bye singer also accessorized with a beaded necklace.

Timberlake had been facing a criminal charge of driving while intoxicated but instead pleaded guilty to a reduced violation charge of driving with ability impaired on Friday.

 

Justin Timberlake kept a low-profile as he was pictured for the first time since pleading guilty to a DWI charge while out in New York on Monday

The plea leaves Timberlake free of a criminal record, which he would’ve had if convicted of the original misdemeanor charge.

Timberlake was arrested early in the morning on June 18 in the Hamptons after a night of drinking at the American Hotel. As part of the plea deal, he agreed to pay the maximum fine of $500 and a surcharge of $260. Additionally, he committed to making a public statement about the dangers of drunk driving.

Judge Carl Irace initially expressed dissatisfaction with the proposed statement, preferring a public service announcement. However, he ultimately accepted the deal under certain conditions.

Timberlake’s demeanor in court was somber. He expressed a desire to avoid returning to the courtroom and stated his love for the Sag Harbor area.

A major component of the plea deal struck by Timberlake’s attorney, Edward, Burke Jr. and the Suffolk County district attorneys office was that, after entering his plea, he would give a public statement about the dangers of drinking and driving.

To make the public announcement, Timberlake and his attorney exited the courthouse through a pedestrian bridge that connected the court to the police headquarters. This was the same bridge he had crossed in handcuffs on the night of his arrest.

At the police headquarters, Timberlake addressed the media, speaking about the dangers of drunk driving. Before the announcement, he had entered his guilty plea and faced questioning from Assistant District Attorney Ashley Cangro and Justice Irace.

While Cangro accepted Timberlake’s admission of the basic elements of the violation, Irace pressed for more details about the events leading up to his decision to drive. Timberlake reportedly expressed deep remorse and acknowledged the life lesson he had learned.

In addition to the fine, Timberlake’s driving license was suspended for 90 days. This suspension runs concurrently with a previous year-long revocation by the Department of Motor Vehicles due to his refusal to take a breath test.

Judge Irace emphasized the importance of community service and required Timberlake to complete between 25 and 40 hours of service. Timberlake agreed and expressed a desire to reach people of all ages with his message.

Whoopi Goldberg has been at The View long enough that she’ll never sit through a segment without giving her two cents — even if it means bashing the question she’s being paid to ask.

On this morning’s episode, the longtime moderator’s contempt for one Hot Topic was clear just seconds into the chat, which was focused on recent remarks from two major Hollywood stars about embracing their looks as they age.

After welcoming the audience back from a commercial break, Goldberg launched into the segment, but not before pausing, squinting her eyes, pursing her lips and saying, “So…” like only she can.

“Demi Moore and Kate Winslet are both speaking out about how they are done living up to male expectations of beauty,” Goldberg read off a teleprompter. “Moore told The New York Times that she finally learned to love who she is after decades of body image issues, and Kate Winslet told the How to Fail podcast that she thinks her body is getting sexier as she gets older.”

While her words earned applause from the audience, she wasn’t exactly thrilled about what she had to say next: “And I’m supposed to ask this really dumb question. Is this the new aging gracefully?” Goldberg reluctantly added.

She sneered at the words on the teleprompter and shook her head before explaining, “I don’t know that these are issues that we really face the same way, but apparently this is a big deal. I remember always, every actress who hits a certain age says, ‘You know, I’m feeling good about myself.’ Well, yeah. We don’t have a choice.”

What do you think? Be the first to comment.

Goldberg then repeated, “We don’t have a choice,” before adding, “Either we feel good or, you know, you’re depending on somebody else to tell you what you are. I always thought it was more important for you to feel like you were hot enough for you,” earning a round of applause from the audience and agreement around the table.

Later in the segment, Goldberg reiterated that just because women age, it doesn’t mean that “everything else stops.”

“Women of a certain age have been told that they don’t really function, that they’re not sexually active, that they have no interest. I love when people tell me what I’m feeling! People who haven’t gotten to a certain age have no idea what my body is doing,” she proclaimed.

Ana Navarro is slamming politicians for failing to acknowledge how pertinent political violence is in America following a second assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump.

The Republican nominee was reportedly playing golf in Florida when his Secret Service agents spotted a man with an AK-47 about 500 yards away. When they fired shots, the man fled the scene and was later apprehended.

“We kept hearing yesterday and I kept reading yesterday, elected officials on both sides of the aisle tweet out, ‘In America, there is no space for political violence,’” Navarro said on this morning’s episode of The View. “We condemn political violence. We condemn it no matter who it’s perpetrated on or attempted on.”

However, Navarro noted that this sort of political violence happens way more often than anyone cares to admit.

“What America do these folks live in that they think there’s no space for political violence when Gabby Giffords, the congresswoman from Arizona, got shot in the head at an event in her district, when the congressional baseball team got shot at, when Nancy Pelosi’s husband got his skull bashed in with a hammer from a political enemy, when we had Jan. 6 when people raided and stormed the Capitol?” she said.

“We’ve had now two different attempts on Donald Trump,” Navarro continued. “This is the America that we live in and political violence is very much a part of it.

Navarro went on to list other recent happenings she would consider political violence.

“Bomb threats in Springfield, I consider that political violence,” she said, referring to the aftermath of false claims made against the town’s Haitian community. “Threats against Taylor Swift because she made an endorsement [for Kamala Harris], which we all have a right to do, I consider that political violence.”

What do you think? Post a comment.

The co-host concluded her rant by calling on politicians to address “people with mental health issues” who “keep getting easy access to assault weapons,” noting that there needs to be “bipartisan” measures to keep the country safe.

Taylor Swift, shown here at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, has become the subject of Donald Trump’s ire after she endorsed Kamala Harris

An organization of Taylor Swift fans said Monday they raised more than $40,000 for the Kamala Harris campaign following Donald Trump’s post that he hates the pop megastar.

The Republican hopeful fired a Sunday morning missive on Truth Social saying “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”, which the “Swifties for Kamala” organization capitalized on to raise money for his Democratic rival.

“As soon as we saw the post, we knew this was an opportunity. Our team was ready to go with lyric response ideas and ways to tie in our calls to donate and volunteer,” said Carly Long, a member of the group’s communications team, in a statement.

“We use the memes to catch people’s attention, and then tell them how to turn that emotion into action. Swifties know that haters gonna hate, but we also know we can do more than just shake, shake, shake.”

The superfans stumping for Kamala Harris are not formally affiliated with the artist who unites them.

They say they’ve now raised more than $207,000 since kicking off their fundraising and outreach efforts less than two months ago.

A few weeks ago they held an inaugural fundraising call that was joined by 27,000 viewers, and featured appearances from stars like Carole King along with Senators Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand and Ed Markey.

Since then Swift herself has endorsed Harris and her running mate Tim Walz over Donald Trump, calling the Democrat and current vice president a “steady-handed, gifted leader.”

“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift posted in the minutes following the Harris-Trump debate last week.

In addition to fundraising and phone banking, the Swifties For Kamala outfit says they are planning additional outreach efforts particularly in swing states and at remaining dates of the blockbuster Eras Tour, which is currently on break.

It’s scheduled to pick back up in Miami on October 18.

Irene Kim, a Swifties For Kamala cofounder, said in a statement that the group is “proof of the power Swifties have.”

“We’re building off our existing fandom culture to make voting and politics accessible.”

Timberlake to push papers in community service plea deal for pop star

Don’t expect to see Justin Timberlake scooping up trash along the Long Island Expressway any time soon.

Instead, the pop icon will be performing his 25 hours of court-ordered community service within the confines of the cozy court system itself after taking a plea deal in his Hamptons drunk-driving arrest Friday, The Post has learned.

But a source close to the singer’s defense team said forget about the “Suit and Tie” star cleaning courthouse toilets or mopping jury room floors.

“He would be doing stuff like sorting documents [for the court clerk], organizing files,” said the source.

Timberlake, 43, even has final say over where he’ll do his hours, the source said — noting it would likely be in New York, California or his home state of Tennessee.

The “SexyBack” crooner was eager to strike a deal, the source added, ahead of his upcoming Canadian tour dates next month.

“With a felony conviction on his record, Canada wouldn’t have let him in,” the source explained. “He wouldn’t be allowed into a lot of other countries, too, but he makes big money in Canada.”

Prosecutors had little evidence to prove their case, which a source described as “weak.”Brigitte Stelzer
Calling it “a weak case,” the source said local prosecutors were also interested in pursuing a plea.

“There was no blood evidence, and he refused the Breathalyzer,” said the source.

The prosecution didn’t want to rely on “observational testimony” from “a rookie cop who didn’t even know who the guy was,” the source insisted.

Timberlake appeared in Sag Harbor Village Court Friday, and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while alcohol impaired instead of the more serious charge of driving while intoxicated, a felony.

He was also ordered to pay a small fine and author a public service announcement.

Timberlake’s 2025 BMW was pulled over in the early hours of June 18 after Sag Harbor police alleged he blew a stop sign and was swerving out of his lane. He then refused three times to take a breathalyzer test, police allege.

On the night of his arrest, Timberlake was warned earlier not to drive by the officer who later stopped him, The Post previously reported.

Timberlake told the arresting officer he’d had one martini at the American Hotel before heading for his car. The bartender working that night corroborated the singer’s claim to investigators, the source said.

The singer also famously told the cop that the incident would “ruin the tour.”

Timberlake’s lawyer couldn’t be reached for comment. Prosecutors were also unavailable.

Timberlake has had issues with alcohol for years, sources had told Page Six, and that he’s largely enabled by the people surrounding him.

“It’s a real thing, and when you have a drinking problem, it’s apparent, yet they’ve pushed this tour on him, and he’s been in a very dark place,” the source said.

Chelsea Clinton discusses her new documentary co-produced with her mom Hillary Clinton, ‘Zurawski V. Texas,’ about three Texas women who were denied medically necessary abortion care

**A Spotlight on Reproductive Rights and Women’s Health: Chelsea Clinton’s Latest Documentary and the Broader Issue**

Chelsea Clinton and her mother, Hillary Clinton, have recently produced a thought-provoking documentary titled *Zurawski v. Texas*, which delves into the deeply personal and medical consequences of abortion bans in Texas. During an appearance on *The View*, Chelsea discussed the project and its significance, highlighting the urgent need for broader public understanding of what abortion restrictions truly mean for women, their families, and society at large.

The documentary follows three women whose lives were dramatically impacted by the denial of medically necessary abortion care due to restrictive laws in Texas. These women, despite needing abortions to protect their health and well-being, were barred from accessing the care they required. The emotional and physical trauma they endured is a central theme in the documentary, which aims to bring to light the personal stories that often get lost in the larger political and legal debates surrounding abortion rights.

**The Reality of Abortion Bans**

Chelsea Clinton emphasized that the case these women brought against the state of Texas, *Zurawski v. Texas*, is more than just a legal battle; it’s a fight to protect women’s health. While these women ultimately lost their case a few months ago, they continue to share their experiences in an effort to raise awareness and prevent others from going through similar suffering.

Clinton’s comments underscored that abortion is not just a political or ideological issue. For the women denied care, it is a deeply personal one that directly impacts their physical health, emotional well-being, and the stability of their families. The documentary seeks to shift the conversation back to this human aspect, making the case that abortion rights should be viewed not only through a legal and political lens but also as a vital healthcare issue.

Throughout the conversation, Clinton reminded viewers that historically, even within the pro-life movement, there were always exceptions made for cases involving the health or life of the mother, as well as for instances of rape and incest. However, recent developments in many states, like Texas, have seen these exceptions disappear, further endangering the lives of women and making access to healthcare even more complicated and perilous.

**A Broader Conversation about Women’s Health**

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg expanded on the discussion by pointing out that the battle over abortion rights is not simply about the procedure itself, but about women’s health more broadly. Goldberg stressed that many aspects of women’s healthcare are intertwined with reproductive rights, and when access to abortion is restricted, it often means that other areas of women’s health are similarly compromised. This is something that those outside the reproductive rights movement may not fully realize.

Abortion rights, Goldberg argued, are part of a larger discussion about healthcare. She noted that the move to restrict abortion access didn’t happen spontaneously—it was the result of a long and concerted effort by political and ideological groups. Now, many people are only just beginning to see the far-reaching effects of these changes, particularly in states like Texas, where the laws are some of the most restrictive in the country.

**The Impact of *Zurawski v. Texas***

Chelsea Clinton and her mother debuted their documentary at the Telluride Film Festival and plan to showcase it at additional festivals in hopes of securing broader distribution. The goal is to make these stories widely accessible so that the public can understand the true impact of these restrictive laws. The documentary presents a sobering look at the real-world consequences of the abortion bans, shining a light on the pain and suffering endured by women and their families as a result of these policies.

In reflecting on the documentary’s message, Clinton reiterated that the current state of abortion rights in places like Texas does not reflect the shared values that have historically guided American conversations on this topic. The lack of exceptions for the health of the mother, or in cases of rape and incest, shows how far the conversation has drifted from what most people would consider humane and reasonable. For Clinton, the documentary serves as a reminder that these stories of personal trauma and loss need to be central to the conversation if there is to be any hope of returning to a place where women’s healthcare is protected.

**A Call to Action**

The discussion on *The View* made it clear that reproductive rights, including access to abortion, are not just legal or political issues—they are deeply personal and critically important to women’s health. Chelsea Clinton’s documentary aims to humanize this issue by sharing the stories of real women who have suffered due to restrictive abortion laws. The hope is that by focusing on these personal narratives, the conversation around abortion can shift away from partisan rhetoric and towards a more compassionate, health-centered approach.

In sum, the conversation and the documentary alike call for a renewed focus on women’s health and reproductive rights. The loss of the *Zurawski v. Texas* case may have been a setback, but the fight continues, driven by the courage of women willing to share their stories and by the work of advocates like Chelsea and Hillary Clinton, who are determined to make sure these stories are heard.

In a recent episode of *The View*, the panel engaged in a critical discussion regarding Laura Loomer, a right-wing activist known for her extreme views and conspiracy theories. The conversation took place in the context of Loomer’s growing influence within far-right circles, particularly her association with former President Donald Trump.

The segment began with Joy Behar introducing Loomer as a provocative figure, and the panel immediately reacted with a mixture of disbelief and criticism. “If her name doesn’t ring a bell,” Joy said, “Miss Loomer is a right-wing provocateur and conspiracy theorist.” The hosts highlighted Loomer’s controversial and racist remarks, including a recent tirade she posted targeting Vice President Kamala Harris. Behar compared Loomer’s extremism to that of far-right Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene but claimed that Loomer took it to even more alarming levels. “This woman makes Marjorie Taylor Greene sound like Madeleine Albright,” Behar quipped, as the audience laughed, but the hosts’ underlying concern was clear: Loomer’s rhetoric was dangerously extreme.

Sunny Hostin took the discussion further by providing more details about Loomer’s disturbing history. She reminded viewers of Loomer’s long list of inflammatory actions, from making 9/11 conspiracy claims to spreading hateful rhetoric against various public figures. Hostin referenced an incident where Loomer accused Casey DeSantis, the wife of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, of exaggerating her breast cancer diagnosis to garner sympathy. In addition to this, Loomer had previously attacked Kellyanne Conway’s daughter, mocking her intelligence, and once called former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords “brain dead” after Giffords survived a gunshot wound to the head. The list of Loomer’s public attacks seemed endless.

Ana Navarro chimed in to add more context to Loomer’s troubling behavior. Referring to her sarcastically as “Laura Looney,” Navarro pointed out that Loomer had access to Trump’s inner circle, traveling with him on his campaign plane. Navarro emphasized that the people chosen to travel with a candidate on their campaign plane are not random or irrelevant; they are trusted individuals who have influence. This, Navarro argued, was indicative of the types of people Trump surrounds himself with. “Make no mistake,” Navarro warned, “this woman is a racist, and she has access to Donald Trump.”

The conversation shifted to the broader implications of Trump’s associations, as Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin discussed what it might mean for a potential second Trump administration. Haines expressed concern over who Trump would bring into his inner circle if he were to regain power, noting that he had already surrounded himself with extremists, such as J.D. Vance. Griffin took it further, speculating on Trump’s deteriorating judgment and ability to make sound decisions. She pointed out that Trump, who once mocked President Joe Biden for showing signs of cognitive decline, might be facing similar issues himself. “There is a decline with Donald Trump,” Griffin stated, suggesting that his recent actions reflect a concerning lack of judgment, especially given the high stakes of his legal battles.

Behar, ever quick with a quip, jumped in to clarify Griffin’s point: “You’re saying he has the big ‘D,’” she joked, leaving the audience to infer that she meant “dementia.” Sunny Hostin, ever the voice of clarity, added, “She means dementia.”

A key part of the discussion revolved around how Trump’s decisions and associations could impact his campaign. Griffin argued that Trump was making questionable moves, such as associating with fringe figures like Loomer, at a time when he needed to solidify support. Haines noted that Trump was targeting low-propensity voters—typically white males who might be influenced by certain podcasts or online discussions. These voters, she said, were less likely to vote in typical elections, but Trump’s efforts to appeal to them could have an impact. Hostin, however, wasn’t as optimistic, equating this strategy with courting low intelligence voters.

The discussion returned to Loomer when Sunny Hostin brought up a legal disclaimer, clarifying that Loomer had stated she was not officially part of Trump’s campaign. However, the hosts expressed skepticism, considering the amount of time Loomer spent with Trump on the campaign trail. Additionally, Hostin mentioned that Loomer had made derogatory remarks about the Indian community, particularly targeting Vice President Harris, who is of Indian descent. Loomer’s history of bigotry and incendiary comments clearly struck a nerve with the panel, and the hosts were adamant that her influence was a cause for concern.

As the conversation wrapped up, Ana Navarro made a final point that encapsulated the group’s frustration with Trump’s continued alignment with figures like Loomer. She asserted that Trump’s associations with racists were not coincidental or insignificant; they were a reflection of his own views. “The reason he’s got racists around him,” Navarro stated, “is because Donald Trump is a racist.”

The episode of *The View* provided a candid and unfiltered discussion on the dangers of far-right extremism and the growing presence of figures like Laura Loomer within Trump’s orbit. The panelists expressed concern not only for the political implications of this association but also for the broader societal impact of normalizing hate speech and conspiracy theories.
