Whoopi Goldberg Fires Back: ‘How Dumb Are You?’ Donald Trump’s ‘Stupid View’ Remarks Ignite Explosive Feud on National TV

Whoopi Goldberg didn’t hold back on Thursday’s episode of The View after former President Donald Trump called the talk show “stupid” and labeled her as “really dumb.” The explosive exchange between the two personalities has sent shockwaves across the media landscape, reigniting their long-standing feud with fiery insults and personal jabs.

Trump, speaking at a rally earlier in the week, tore into The View and its hosts, singling out Goldberg in particular. “As I watch that stupid View, where you have these really dumb people,” Trump said to a crowd of supporters, “You know, Whoopi Goldberg said, ‘You’re so great. If you ever ran for president, you’d win.’” Trump further claimed that Goldberg made the comment before he entered politics, referencing her past as a comedian at his New Jersey resort.

Trump didn’t stop there. He went on to call Goldberg’s language “filthy, dirty, and disgusting,” alleging that half the audience left during one of her performances. “I said I’d never hire her again,” Trump concluded, adding that her mouth was “foul.”

Goldberg wasted no time snapping back at Trump’s remarks during Thursday’s broadcast of The View. “How dumb are you?” she fired back, challenging Trump’s memory and defending her record. “You hired me four times, and you didn’t know what you were getting?”

In a pointed retort, Goldberg claimed that she would have continued working at Trump Plaza if he hadn’t “run it into the ground,” delivering a stinging rebuke of his business acumen. The verbal sparring didn’t stop there, as Goldberg’s co-hosts chimed in to support her.

Sunny Hostin, another View co-host, also took the opportunity to throw shade at Trump. “Donald Trump, I want to thank you for personally telling so many lies and committing so many alleged crimes,” Hostin said sarcastically. “You help us do our jobs, and I’m so appreciative.”

The exchange between Trump and Goldberg comes on the heels of Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent appearance on The View, a segment that likely didn’t sit well with the former president. The timing of Trump’s latest attack suggests he’s ramping up criticism of media outlets and figures aligned with the Democratic Party as the 2024 election approaches.

Trump’s remarks sparked widespread debate, with fans of The View taking to social media to defend Goldberg and her co-hosts. Critics of the show, however, applauded Trump for calling out what they see as a biased and divisive platform.

The Hill has contacted Trump’s campaign for comment, but as of now, the feud shows no signs of cooling down. With both sides doubling down on their criticisms, this public spat is bound to escalate in the coming weeks as the political climate heats up.

Whether Goldberg and her co-hosts will continue to address Trump’s insults on future episodes remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: this war of words between the former president and The View has entered a new, explosive chapter.
