Whoopi Goldberg Speaks To Foreign Countries On 'The View'
With the shocking tariffs that Trump has imposed over the last week, there has been outcry both from American citizens and foreign citizens all over the world. Goldberg and the other co-hosts spoke directly to the latter on the most recent episode of The View: "All you countries who watch us, this is not our wish," Goldberg said. "This is not what the American people want. We don't like it. We don't like how it's being–we don't like how this is being done."
"That's why you will hear us kvetching about this as long as we are able, because no one we're talking to understands what's going on, and, therefore, when they say America, they're not talking about us. They are talking about that very narrow band of America that they think they represent, that I think they don't realize they're starting to lose."
Whoopi Goldberg Encourages Resistance
This is far from the first time Whoopi Goldberg has spoken out against the Trump administration on The View. Just last week, Goldberg signed off the program by encouraging the American public to resist. "Remember, the resistance is real," she said. "You're not alone."
And last month, she encouraged those that are willing and able to participate in the nationwide protests against Trump. "People have to get out and you have to march. You have to start making noise. This is now coming back to us. The only way people are oging to hear how angry you are is if you get out there."
