Joy Behar responded to President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the controversial Iran nuclear deal, saying that everything he does “seems to be based on a personal antagonism to Obama, and jealousy.”

On ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday, the topic of discussion turned to the Iran deal — which President Trump had just withdrawn the United States from less than 24 hours earlier. Behar said that, in the context of President Trump’s other actions, she was beginning to see a pattern emerge.

“Well, he pulled out of TPP, which Obama was into. He pulled out of the Paris Accords, which Obama was down with. He’s pulling out of Iran which Obama was … what’s trending here? Do we see anything happening here? It’s almost like I can’t believe anything he does because it seems to be based on a personal antagonism to Obama, and jealousy.”

Meghan McCain fired back, saying that she didn’t believe that to be the case at all, and went on to detail why the Iran deal was problematic from the start.

However, Behar was not the only one who noticed a pattern in President Trump’s actions.
