Whoopi Goldberg Goes Off On Trump On 'The View' Despite Reports That ABC Bosses Want Her To 'Tone Down' The Trump-Bashing

Whoopi Goldberg has slammed President Donald Trump for his claims of a "white genocide" in South Africa following his contentious meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Goldberg accused Trump of giving America "the middle finger" as she doubled down on her stance against his accepting a luxury jet from Qatar.

ABC executives have reportedly told Whoopi Goldberg and her other "The View" co-hosts to "tone down" the Trump hate, but the famous ladies "keep doing their thing."

Goldberg did not mince words when addressing President Trump's claims of a "white genocide" happening in South Africa.

During the Thursday morning episode of "The View," the popular actress accused Trump of keeping his middle finger pointed at the Black community following his contentious meeting with the South African president.

Trump's White House meeting with President Ramaphosa played out similarly to that with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy as he confronted Ramaphosa about an alleged persecution of white farmers that has prompted his administration to fast-track the processing of white Afrikaner "refugees" to the US.

"There's no white genocide. There's not a genocide happening. There is crime, as there is all over the world. But it's not about killing off white people. This is just straight —," Goldberg said as she abruptly paused her speech to stop herself from finishing with the word "bullsh-t."

"That was gas," she joked when the sound returned.

The 69-year-old went further to slam Trump for seemingly going against the US Constitution by accepting a luxury jet gift from Qatar during his recent visit to the country.

"He's not supposed to have it. I have the Constitution right here," she said as she pulled out her copy of the Constitution. "You're not supposed to have the plane!"

Goldberg and her co-hosts on the show have often slammed Trump for his policies and moves since assuming office earlier this year.

During Tuesday's episode of the show, the ladies dissected whether Americans should focus on Trump or President Joe Biden's "cognitive decline," following the release of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's new book "Original Sin," where they revealed senior White House staff knew about Biden's "cognitive decline" when he sought reelection in 2024.

"Why is this important to know now? Because it just seems to me we got a lot of stuff to be concerned about at the moment," Goldberg pointed out.

After Goldberg's remarks about Biden, Joy Behar went on to list the many things she believes Americans have to be "concerned about," calling them "Trump's atrocities."

"Should I list them? Here's Trump's atrocities," Behar said as she began listing over a dozen motions Trump has passed since beginning his second term in January.

"This is what we're concerned about now: Cutting Medicaid, slashing funding for cancer research, slashing funding because of tariffs, dismantling USAID, which helps children who are poor around the world, destroying due process, ending birthright citizenship…" Behar went on.

Goldberg's latest Trump critique comes amid reports that ABC executives want her and the other co-hosts of "The View" to "tone down" their political commentary and focus more on pop culture sessions.

Sources close to the situation told The Daily Beast that the network's top executives, including Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic, have expressed concern about the ladies' constant focus on Trump and politics.

Karamehmedovic, in particular, reportedly held a meeting with "The View" executive producer Brian Teta and its hosts, where he encouraged them to do more of their highly rated episodes with celebrities.

Goldberg and the other show hosts seemingly didn't like the request from their bosses and forcefully pushed against the move, which a source explained wasn't framed as an edict.

One source familiar with the meeting characterized the co-hosts as telling their boss, "This is what our audience wants. Isn't it gonna look kind of bad if we're all of a sudden not talking about politics?"

The outspoken ladies ultimately found the requests "silly" and seemingly decided that "they were just going to keep doing their thing."

Ana Navarro reportedly pointed out that the audience usually seeks out their stance on political issues, with multiple sources suggesting she had a direct conversation with Iger during Disney's recent Upfront presentation day to advertisers.

The insiders said that Navarro thanked Iger for allowing them to do their job in a politically turbulent environment, and that network boss confirmed that he supported the show but believes they need to reassess their political rhetoric.
