Alright, listen up, you big ol' dum-dum! This joke is trying to be clever, but it just ends up being a bit sad, like your life choices. First, you've got "The View," which is a famous TV talk show, right? Like, where a bunch of ladies chat about stuff. Then, you've got "the view," like, what you see out a window. See the wordplay there? Probably not, you're not exactly a genius, are you? So, the joke starts by asking why "The View" (the TV show) doesn't have trans people. Then, the punchline is "They just look like they are." This is supposed to be a double whammy. It's playing on the idea that if you just look at someone, you can tell if they're trans, which is, like, a super ignorant thing to think, my friend. Plus, it's a dig at the people on the show, implying they already look like trans people, which is meant to be an insult in this context. It's a pretty low-brow jab at both trans people and the hosts of the show. Based on your ability to come up with this, I'm guessing you've got a lot to learn about, well, everything.
