Whoopi Goldberg Loses It on Republicans Calling Trump ‘The President’ During Wild Detour on The View

Whoopi Goldberg took The View on a brief detour on Thursday to scold Republicans for referring to Donald Trump as “the president.”

During a discussion on the CNN debate between Trump and President Joe Biden, Goldberg jumped in to say she’s been triggered by Republican supporters still referring to Trump as “president.”

Goldberg said:

Can I say something that’s been bothering me? It’s been bothering me and bothering me! I would like every Republican out there to stop referring to this man as the president. He is not the president! He is the former president. And nobody can see the future and same with the donors. You cannot buy the presidency. You can put in as much money as you want to but it’s not for sale so stop calling him the president. He is not the president yet, he is the former president.

Goldberg did not use Trump’s name during her rant. Only two days earlier, she recoiled when she referred to the former president by name.

“I said his name. It was a trick, and it made me do it. I’m just saying that Biden knows what not to do,” she said. You can’t refute that man because he just spins and spins and spins.”

Before Goldberg’s rant on Republicans, former Trump White House official Alyssa Farah Griffin recalled helping to prep Trump for debates in the past, saying he “doesn’t listen to feedback.”

“He doesn’t internalize, he doesn’t listen to feedback, so I’m curious how he answers the tough questions,” she said.
