During Friday's episode of ABC's talk show “The View,” radical liberal host Joy Behar baselessly wondered whether Melania Trump would “abandon” her husband if he didn't win the presidential election this year.
Bihar and The View host Melania's bash
“She's stuck with him so far, but if he loses the election, do you think she'll abandon him?” Behar asked, 81.
“She must be more tired of it than we are at this point,” she added.
“I'm not sure there's anyone sicker than us,” Bihar co-host Ana Navarro chimed in.
Navarro went on to say that although Melania “made a deal with the devil” by marrying Donald Trump, she was “publicly humiliated in the process, and she had every right to be angry.”
When asked for her opinion, liberal host Sunny Hostin admitted she could be “petty,” adding that she “enjoyed” some of the claims made about Melania in White House correspondent Katie Rogers' new book “American Women: The Transformation of the 'Modern First Lady.'”
“She obviously likes to watch CNN and he likes to watch Fox, so there's a big debate there,” Hostin said with a smile.
Navarro, who has worked at CNN for years, interrupted: “Thank you for watching, Melania.”

Melania will be 'very active' in Trump campaign
Despite what Behar and the other ladies on “The View” said about Melania, she has always publicly remained loyal to her husband. Last month, former President Trump told Fox News that Melania would 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'll 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 an ordinary person. She would be out and about a lot. Not because she likes doing it, but because she likes the results.” “She wants to see this country really successful.” “She loves the country.”
“You know, a lot of first ladies come out — they want to be everywhere. He continued: “They get angry with their husbands because he does not introduce them.” “If I hadn't introduced Melania, she would have been very happy about it. She's just a different kind of 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 this boy. That's very important to her,” Trump explained. “At the same time, it's also about our country and the success of our country. She's raised a lot of money for charity. She's a special person.”
He concluded his speech by saying: “She loves the country.” “She'll go out a lot, but she's doing it for the good of the country, not for herself. She's a person with a lot of confidence. She doesn't need that.”
This comes at a difficult time for Melania, as she lost her beloved mother, Amalia Knavs, at the beginning of the year. This resulted in Melania being largely absent from her husband's election campaign in the months that followed.
But despite what Behar said about her, all indications are that Melania will actually play an “active” role in Trump's election campaign once this mourning period is over for her.
