"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg said Wednesday that President Donald Trump didn't represent America in an address to viewers from other countries, as she promised the hosts would continue to complain about the administration's policies.
"All you countries who watch us, this is not our wish," Goldberg said as her co-hosts emphatically agreed. "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," the co-host continued.
Goldberg and the co-hosts of "The View" sharply criticized Trump's sweeping tariffs during the conversation. The president announced later on Wednesday that he would be instituting a 90-day pause on some reciprocal tariffs but would increase tariffs on goods from China.
Last Thursday, Goldberg signed off the program by touting the resistance movement against Trump.
"Remember, the resistance is real. You're not alone," Goldberg told viewers.
Goldberg said last month that it was time for Americans to rise up and protest the Trump administration.
"People have to get out and you have to march. You have to start making noise. This is now coming back to us," Goldberg said on the March 19 episode of "The View." "The only way people are going to hear how angry you are is if you get out there," she added.
Critics point out the show is not known for its balanced take on the news and political issues.

Geraldo Rivera Gushes Over Trump’s ‘Brilliant’ Tariffs Move: ‘You Can’t Beat This Guy’
Zachary Leeman, Apr 10th, 2025, 9:03 am, Mediaite
Geraldo Rivera claimed President Donald Trump “suckered” the world into thinking he was on a “suicide mission” with his tariffs,
Trump announced on Wednesday that he was putting a 90-day pause on many of the tariffs he had imposed just days before. The change in course came as the markets took major hits. The president paused some tariffs, but raised others — including on China.
Rivera claimed Trump “ambushed” China, which is now facing a 125% tariff from the United States.
“I believe that he ambushed China,” he said. “I believe that he suckered the whole world into believing that he was going to go down in this harakiri, this suicide mission against the world. I think with him it’s so much spontaneous, but I believe it evolved. I mean, Monday, so many people were feeling terrible pain. The markets were tanking. It was no end in sight. People were watching their 401Ks, their IRAs disappear.”
Rivera added that he couldn’t “understand” Trump targeting the European Union and other nations in similar fashion to China, but he was convinced of his former friend’s “brilliant” plan during a meeting with a financial insider friend. Rivera added that he feels “sorry for all the people who chickened out and sold out” amid market uncertainty.
“We all are talking. ‘Oh my God, this is awful, but we’re doing the right thing. You have to have courage. You have to stick it out.’ I went to my Twitter followers. I said, please don’t sell. This is on Sunday and Monday. Please don’t sell unless you absolutely have to. And then, you know, look what he does. Surprise. You know, this is why Trump is triumphant. This is why you can’t beat this guy,” he said.

Resistance to what? Can she clarify?
Now, granted, more people likely read my musings than Goldberg's, but hey-this is America. She does have freedom of speech.
Of course, I have facts on my side and she doesn't and she's a brain-dead Leftist fueled wholly by emotion, but still.
Whoopi does not speak for me.
The Big Whoop strikes again.
This is what Goldberg and the three people who watch her show want:
Sit her down and have her watch some election night 2024 coverage. Trump was roundly ELECTED.
Spot on
We consider them with equally well earned disdain.
Whoopi is full of poopie.
Hmmm, dully elected, by a majority of Americans, Trump doesn’t represent Americans but a bloviating miasma meatsack full of shit, believes she does? I wonder if Poopy knows the definition of hubris?
I thought she “moved” to one of her homes outside the country.
sounds like a Babylon Bee headline. Oh wait, that IS an old Babylon Bee headline.
That fat racist is more likely to stroke out if she keeps getting so worked up. One difference is that I can just turn them off if I don’t want to hear their BS, but Trump will still be President.
That needs to be a poster for a history lesson hat tip.
The Dems love trillions in waste, unsustainable deficits and debt, illegals murdering Americans, corrupt politicians collecting billions, men beating up women in sports.
Exactly.
Correct.
I must have slept thru that election when Whoopi was elected president! 😵
