Ellen DeGeneres took a shot at Donald Trump this week, saying that the president is not welcome on her show. The moment came during an interview with Today’s Matt Lauer.
Before the interview began, Lauer expressed surprise that DeGeneres had invited her studio audience to witness the conversation as it happened. Not long afterward, it became clear why. She needed them to support the answers she was about to give.
A couple minutes into their chat, Lauer asked DeGeneres if she would ever consider inviting Trump onto Ellen. “Uhm… no,” she responded. The crowd did exactly what they were supposed to do: They responded with enthusiastic applause.
In any other situation, DeGeneres’ answer might be considered cowardly — or at least pandering. After all, she has invited multiple prominent conservatives on her show before. But the audience’s approval made it clear why she said what she said. Attacking Trump is what she is expected to do — and she’s more than willing to oblige if it keeps her audience happy. With that sort of response, who is Lauer to object?

Don’t watch your show anyway
Both. We know your liked by lots of people, we all know your Gay, but who do you think you are, when you think your above anyone. I thought we we’re all equally the same in Gods eye.Mr.Trump was voted in as our President. He doesn’t feel he’s any better than anyone else. But we all know he is in a class most of us do not understand. But he excepts us. You think your above him but all it is your attitude. I am ashamed of you. But I am not the one her to judge, this is all my feelings, Judgement day is coming we’ll you be ready.
That’s good it would be a real waste of his time as no one with a brain watches your show
Michelle, that is the best comment ever.
who cares,she is a bitch
who would want to be???
What makes her think President Trump would want to be on her show?
Hey Tinker Bell I’m pretty certain Trump doesn’t care what you think or do and by the way I don’t either,
Well you know what they say..its her choice who’s on her show…….
She’s not welcome on my TV
