'The View' Host Jokes That Trump Will Sign Order 'Banning Black People' From Performing at the Super Bowl: 'If the Racists Are Mad, I'm Happy'

"The View" co-host Ana Navarro joked that President Donald Trump might respond to Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show by signing an executive order "banning Black people" from performing at future games.

Navarro, who admitted she did not watch the game, referenced past discussions on the show about the NFL's decision to replace the "End Racism" message in the end zones with phrases like "Choose Love" and "It Takes All of Us." She argued that the league clearly did not "capitulate to Trump," given Lamar's performance, which she described as unapologetically Black.

"When I saw Samuel L. Jackson dressed as a Black Uncle Sam, introducing Kendrick Lamar, who then had like an entire formation of all Black people making a U.S. flag... all the Black people on my feed were like, 'Oooo, this is Blackity, Black, Black!' And all the racists... Man, were they hopping mad," Navarro said. "So if the racists are mad, I am happy as a clam!"

Co-host Sunny Hostin agreed, praising Lamar's performance as "many-layered" and a powerful artistic statement about the state of the country.

"With all these attacks on diversity, all these attacks on African Americans, it was so nice to see Black excellence enjoyed in front of the sitting president who decided for the first time to go to the Super Bowl," Hostin said.

The Super Bowl halftime show was both celebrated and disparaged online, with people of various political opinions relating "DEI"—a recent focus of the Trump administration—to the halftime show, which featured exclusively Black performers.

While "The View" hosts assumed Trump did not enjoy the halftime show, he has yet to comment on the event publicly.
