Joy Behar is living in a fantasy world of her own making.

The co-host of “The View” recently said she believes Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jung-un are more sane than President Donald Trump.

“We have gotten to a point in the world now where we have to rely on the sanity of Kim Jong-un and Putin over the president of the United States. That’s where we’re at,” she said Thursday on her show.

The program’s sole conservative voice, Meghan McCain, pushed back against Behar’s extreme stance. “My issue is the moral relativism between Putin and Kim Jong-un and President Trump. I think it’s easy to sort of sit here and say that,” she said.

“Why do you think Kim Jong-un is less moral than Trump? Do you?” Behar asked.

“Oh my God!” said McCain in shock.

McCain later said, “Joy, I’m trying — I’m really trying right now, and I know there is frustration about the way we’re communicating about this, and I completely understand it. But I will say it’s hard for me to sit here with moral relativism about Trump. If you think Putin and Bashar al-Assad and President Trump are the exact same thing, it’s when you lose all arguments with me in every way.”

Behar didn’t back off her position. “Let me clarify what I said. What I’m saying is I see the two of them with backing off of war, and I see President Trump provoking war. That is what I see.”

The mere fact that Behar can criticize Trump in such a way on live television without legal repercussions is proof enough that he is more sane than a dictator who controls the information flow — and much more — into his country.
