The View audience bursts into laughter after guest host claims Trump 'does not get coerced by other nations'

The View guest co-host Sara Eisen defended Donald Trump’s decision to take the U.S. into war with Iran, prompting laughter from the audience and pushback from the panel.

CNBC news anchor Eisen, 41, is standing in this week for regular co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who is currently on maternity leave. During Wednesday’s segment of the talk show, Eisen addressed the director of the National Counterterrorism Center’s recent decision to step down from his post.

Joe Kent announced his resignation on X, writing he could not “in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran” because Iran posed “no imminent threat to our nation.” He added that it was “clear” that the U.S. war on Iran had been started “due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

Reacting to Kent’s message, Eisen said: “I think it’s disrespectful and wrong to assume that the United States and the president — especially this president, whatever you think of him — does not act on his own agency and on behalf of the United States of America.”
