Alyssa Farah Griffin, current co-host of “The View” and former White House communications director under President Donald Trump, expressed genuine amazement Tuesday about his profiteering presidency — and said on CNN, “Nothing sticks to Trump. I mean, it’s Teflon Don.”

“I just think of the things that we Republicans were outraged with, with Hunter Biden, when [former President Joe] Biden was in office,” Griffin told “AC360” host Anderson Cooper. “‘He’s profiteering off of these, you know, his artistry and these pictures he was drawing.’”

She continued, “This is next level. It’s really next level.”

Griffin made her case after Cooper rattled off all the various merchandise Trump has been selling, which includes gold coins featuring the president’s face — which range up to $11,999.99. The CNN host cracked up while enumerating all the various items.

“Sorry,” apologized Cooper while struggling to suppress laughter.

Hunter Biden was famously accused by Republicans of profiteering from his father’s presidency through his position at a Ukrainian energy company and by fetching millions for his personal artwork, but the GOP has had far less to say about Trump’s skyrocketing wealth.

“But, while it doesn’t really stick with Donald Trump, it does potentially stick with Republicans down-ballot, heading into the midterms when the gas prices are high, when the cost of everything seems through the roof, having to defend these sorts of things,” said Griffin.

Forbes reported in March that the MAGA leader is worth $6.5 billion. Trump, who launched an unpopular war on Iran in February, has since become fixated on the construction of his new $400 million White House ballroom — which could cost up to $1 billion in security “upgrades.”

Cooper tried hard to stifle laughter Tuesday while highlighting a gold-plated phone Trump is now selling. Griffin later argued that the president’s decisions are not a laughing matter, however, at least for Republicans eager to survive the upcoming midterm elections.

She said “a billion-dollar ballroom” is getting “increasingly harder” for Republicans to justify.
