The View: Sara Haines Trashes Trump’s Taxpayer-Funded Ad

Published

on

President Trump launched a new series of ads ahead of this November’s midterm elections, all paid for using taxpayers’ money, and the hosts of “The View” are among those criticizing the move. On Monday morning, host Sara Haines even jokingly longed for Elon Musk’s DOGE.

To kick off the day’s Hot Topics, the ABC hosts watched one of the ads, in which Trump promises to “cast out the Communists,” “demolish the deep state” and more. As it ended, host Sunny Hostin was quick to remind everyone that Kristi Noem was promptly fired after she used $200 million of taxpayer money for Department of Homeland Security ads.

“So I don’t understand why the president thinks it’s okay for him to do when someone in his cabinet was fired,” Hostin said.

“Well where is DOGE when you need it?” Sara Haines quipped back.

DOGE was, of course, the acronym for the Department of Government Efficiency, created and led by billionaire Elon Musk, and was touted as a means of cutting frivolous spending. In the end, it cut several vital employees and programs, while also ensuring te federal government spent an estimated $9.5 billion for employees to not work last year.

The hosts of “The View” were vocal critics of the agency. Speaking more seriously on the ads, Haines called them “completely inappropriate.”

“You can’t advertise the feelings people are having at their dinner tables out of them, by saying, ‘No, no, no, things are really going well,’” she said. “And the way to really piss them off is to make them buy the ads that say ‘No, no, no, we’re fine.’”

“Because this is like a pump-up ad. They’re calling it a public service announcement, but what’s the service to the public?” Haines continued. “It does feel like it’s kind of completely inappropriate. A big waste of the time.”

“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.

Lindsay Lohan, Henry Golding to Star in Netflix Movie Return to You

Published

on

For her next lead role, Lindsay Lohan is embracing nostalgia with a very important DVD.

Lohan and Henry Golding are set to star in the Netflix romantic feature Return to You. Lohan also serves as a producer for the film that Mark Waters will direct from a script by Eric Champnella.

Set in 2008, Return to You stars Lohan as a high-powered but lonely attorney who mistakenly receives a heartfelt DVD from a dying woman to her husband. Lohan’s character uses clues from the recording to attempt to track down the husband.

Lohan and Brad Krevoy serve as producers for the movie that counts Olivia Krevoy, Jimmy Townsend and Galen Fletcher as executive producers.

For Lohan, Return to You marks a reunion with Waters, her director on two hit films — 2003’s Freaky Friday and 2004’s Mean Girls — that helped propel her to Hollywood stardom. Lohan reprised her role as Freaky Friday’s Anna Coleman in 2025 sequel Freakier Friday opposite co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, but that feature had Nisha Ganatra in the director’s chair.

Waters’ recent projects include last year’s Netflix romantic comedy La Dolce Villa and the forthcoming biopic Hershey.

Lohan can soon be seen starring on the Hulu series Count My Lies, alongside Shailene Woodley and Kit Harington. Golding is set to star with Brie Larson and Lily Collins in the Amazon MGM Studios comedy Close Personal Friends.

During a recent cover story for Vogue Arabia, Lohan discussed having become more vocal throughout her career. “With age comes a different kind of confidence,” she said. “When I was younger, I wasn’t so comfortable saying how I felt about a character and being involved with the process of it. And I love that part now.”

He is currently in pre-production on a top secret pic at Paramount.
