đ¨âENOUGH ALREADY!â â Whoopi Goldberg CLAPS BACK at Trump Over Movie Tariffs: âHow About You Lower Egg Prices First?!â â The View Audience ERUPTS!
In yet another fiery moment that set daytime TV ablaze, The Viewâs 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 didnât hold back â and her pointed words have gone viral overnight.
The segment began calmly, as the hosts discussed Trumpâs proposal to âtax every foreign film that comes into Americaâ as a means to âput America firstâ and protect Hollywood. But things took a sharp turn when Whoopi, barely containing her frustration, interrupted the panel with a blistering clapback.
âCan I just say one thing?â she began, her tone already rising. âBefore you start taxing movies, could you maybe figure out how to lower the damn price of eggs?! Or milk? Or rent?!â
The studio audience burst into applause, but Whoopi wasnât done.
âThis 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. Justâstop.â
Co-host Sunny Hostin nodded solemnly, adding, âIt feels like heâs out of touch with what working families are facing right now.â
Sara Haines tried to interject a more moderate view, but Whoopi cut back in sharply, âHeâs doing this for headlines. And guess what? Weâre giving it to him. But the people watching this showâour viewersâdeserve better.â
Social media exploded after the episode aired, with clips of Whoopiâs takedown trending on Twitter and TikTok under hashtags like #WhoopiVsTrump and #EggPricesFirst. Fans praised Goldberg for âspeaking truth to power,â with many calling it âher most powerful moment in years.â
Meanwhile, conservative commentators quickly rushed to Trumpâs defense, accusing The View of being âhystericalâ and âHollywood elites panicking over losing control.â But Goldbergâs 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 protectionismâand once again positioning The View as a battleground for the nationâs hottest political disputes.
As the segment wrapped, Whoopi looked directly into the camera and said, âAmerica, wake up. Weâve got real problems. And foreign films ainât one of them.â
And just like that, the internet lit up. Again.
