Amid the news that a Duck Dynasty producer would like to create a reality show for immigrants seeking American citizenship, The View‘s Ana Navarro said she would like to see one person attempt to take the citizenship test as she once had to: Donald Trump.

Alyssa Farah Griffin claimed during their discussion that only one in three Americans manage to pass the exam. But Navarro seemed to think that it could be good for Trump to refresh his memory with some of the questions, which she said she pulled directly from the Department of Homeland Security website.

“I had to take that citizenship exam and I wish Donald Trump had to take it because, let me just tell you about some of the questions, there’s 100 questions that you have to prepare for when you take the citizenship exam,” Navarro explained.

She then began firing off some of the questions, clearly shading the president and his administration. “Number one, what is the supreme law of the land? The constitution, not Donald Trump,” she continued. She then rattled off the rights protected under the First Amendment, including freedom of speech, religion, assembly, and press.

“What is the rule of law? Everyone must follow the law, leaders must obey the law, government must obey the law. No one is above the law,” she concluded, prompting applause from The View audience.

All of the co-hosts criticized the idea of a reality competition series aimed at pitting contestants against each other for the chance to gain American citizenship. But, as Sara Haines and Whoopi Goldberg pointed out, “I do think people would watch it because people would watch anything.”

Griffin pointed out that the show seems to offer a means of skipping the typical citizenship process.

“The criticisms of illegal immigration is you skipped the line and didn’t go through the legal process,” she pointed out. “This would seemingly let you skip the line and not go through the legal process to become a citizen.”

Sunny Hostin also called the concept “deeply unserious and dystopian and despicable,” and noted that it seems to be a distraction from the fact that the Supreme Court recently debated Trump’s executive order to deny birthright citizenship to children born in the United States.

“No one is talking about it instead they’re talking about this,” she said, later adding, “I think we need to start looking more at that and stop talking about this kind of ridiculous, deeply unserious, ridiculous stuff.”

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
