MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: During a lively segment on 'The View', actress Rita Moreno left the audience in stitches as she humorously poked fun at former President Donald Trump's "very small pickle".

At the age of 92, Moreno made it clear to her fellow co-hosts on the March 4 episode of the daytime talk show that she has no intention of supporting the GOP frontrunner in the upcoming November elections.



 

Rita Moreno's hilarious Trump roast lights up 'The View' stage

The iconic 'West Side Story' actress had the ladies of 'The View' roaring with laughter as she unleashed her witty criticism against the 77-year-old Trump.

Moreno didn't hold back, labeling the former president as "stupid" and "appalling" during her impassioned speech.

Moreno's response was sharp and direct, stating, "Actually, I'm not surprised given the tenor of what's going on in this country right now."

"But let me say this — and it's very succinct and to the point — I am not about to vote for someone who has 91 indictments against him, for criminal activities," she added.

Moreno pressed on, alluding to Trump's ongoing legal entanglements, saying, "I mean, enough said already. It's so stupid, look at all the stuff that Biden has accomplished."

Adding further she said, "It's appalling, it's appalling!" before taking a dig at Trump.

"Listen, I have a wonderful little joke I would like to share with everybody," the star announced before launching into a playful jab at the GOP presidential hopeful.

"I saw a sign at a deli on the wall and it said," she chuckled, "It said, 'Trump sandwich,' and underneath it, the description read, 'two slices of white bread, baloney, and a very small pickle'."

Sara Haines enthusiastically endorsed Moreno's jab, exclaiming, "This is so good!"

Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former member of the Trump administration, hailed the actress as "an absolute legend".

Joining in, Sunny Hostin praised Moreno's story as "chef's kiss", punctuated with a giggle.
