Joy Behar is so upset with President Trump for “destroying the planet” that she found herself in an argument with a total stranger while vacationing in London.

The co-host of ABC’s “The View” admitted the altercation as she and her colleagues prepared to discuss the possible impeachment of Mr. Trump and other political issues.

“When I was in London, I was in the war rooms and I got into an argument with a Trump supporter,” she said, NewsBusters reported. “All he said to me is, ’Why can’t you give him a chance the way we gave Obama a chance?’”

Ms. Behar scoffed at the idea.

“Give him a chance? He’s destroying the planet!” she said. “He’s destroying the democracy. He doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’s writing stupid letters to Erdogan. He’s killing people far away from us who did nothing but help us. Give him a chance? That’s the argument you’re giving me underground?”

The comedian also revealed that she was robbed.

“I got robbed at Harrods,” she said. “They stole my wallet. I was pick-pocketed, yes.”

Co-host Sunny Hostin replied that her mother was also robbed during a stay in London.

“Those Brits are crazy, I guess,” Ms. Behar said.
