In yet another fiery moment that set daytime TV ablaze, The View’s longtime co-host Whoopi Goldberg unleashed a scathing takedown of former President Donald Trump, slamming his recent suggestion of tariffs on foreign films. With the audience in stunned silence and co-hosts looking visibly shocked, Whoopi didn’t hold back — and her pointed words have gone viral overnight.

The segment began calmly, as the hosts discussed Trump’s proposal to “tax every foreign film that comes into America” as a means to “put America first” and protect Hollywood. But things took a sharp turn when Whoopi, barely containing her frustration, interrupted the panel with a blistering clapback.

“Can I just say one thing?” she began, her tone already rising. “Before you start taxing movies, could you maybe figure out how to lower the damn price of eggs?! Or milk? Or rent?!”

The studio audience burst into applause, but Whoopi wasn’t done.

“This is not the 1980s. People are struggling to buy groceries, to keep their lights on. And you want to throw tariffs on movies now? Please stop. Just—stop.”

Co-host Sunny Hostin nodded solemnly, adding, “It feels like he’s out of touch with what working families are facing right now.”

Sara Haines tried to interject a more moderate view, but Whoopi cut back in sharply, “He’s doing this for headlines. And guess what? We’re giving it to him. But the people watching this show—our viewers—deserve better.”

Social media exploded after the episode aired, with clips of Whoopi’s takedown trending on Twitter and TikTok under hashtags like #WhoopiVsTrump and #EggPricesFirst. Fans praised Goldberg for “speaking truth to power,” with many calling it “her most powerful moment in years.”

Meanwhile, conservative commentators quickly rushed to Trump’s defense, accusing The View of being “hysterical” and “Hollywood elites panicking over losing control.” But Goldberg’s words clearly struck a nerve across party lines, with even some Trump supporters agreeing that basic living costs should be a greater priority than film tariffs.

The controversy has now snowballed, reigniting debates about populism, inflation, and cultural protectionism—and once again positioning The View as a battleground for the nation’s hottest political disputes.

As the segment wrapped, Whoopi looked directly into the camera and said, “America, wake up. We’ve got real problems. And foreign films ain’t one of them.”

And just like that, the internet lit up. Again.
