Ana Navarro and the hosts of The View aren’t falling for Donald Trump’s latest political theater his flirtation with the idea of a third term. Dismissing his comments as a calculated distraction, Navarro argued that Trump is deliberately stirring controversy to shift focus away from more damaging stories, like his administration’s national security blunders (“Signal-gate”), economic missteps (tariffs tanking the stock market), and the fallout from his aggressive immigration policies.
“He is the distractor-in-chief,” Navarro declared, pointing out that even her co-hosts didn’t bother making Trump’s third-term musings a “Hot Topic” because they’ve grown wise to his tactics. Instead of taking his constitutional defiance at face value, she sees it as a smokescreen to keep the media from scrutinizing real crises.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, the show’s conservative voice, agreed—but with a sharper warning. She argued that Trump’s chaotic governance (tariffs, Greenland obsessions, and economic instability) could backfire so badly that voters won’t even want him to run again. “If he keeps going this way, I don’t think we have to worry about a third term,” she said, suggesting his unpopular policies might doom his political future before 2028.
Griffin also threw shade at VP JD Vance, implying he’s being sidelined rather than groomed as Trump’s successor. “If I’m JD Vance… I’d be like, ‘Oh, this is a little insulting,’” she quipped, noting that Trump is handing him politically toxic assignments instead of setting him up for a future presidential run.
The consensus? Trump’s third-term talk is less a real threat and more a shiny object to divert attention—but if his policies keep hurting Americans, even his most loyal supporters may stop taking him seriously.
