Whoopi Goldberg stuns The View co-hosts by saying ‘we deserve what we get’ if Trump is re-elected
- The View co-host said the US “deserves what we get” if Trump is re-elected
- Her co-host Joy Behar has made it clear that she is not part of that statement
Whoopi Goldberg stunned her co-hosts on The View when she said that “we deserve what we get” if Trump is re-elected.
During Tuesday’s show, Goldberg made it clear that if the former president returned to power, it meant the American people “weren’t loud enough.”
Joy Behar, who is often critical of Donald Trump, quickly fought back, saying, “Don’t put me in that position,” and saying she won’t vote for him.
Goldberg’s other co-host Sunny Hostin added that Trump would “destroy the country” if re-elected in 2024.
“Listen, if he gets re-elected, we deserve what we get. If we put him back in, if he comes back in, we deserve what we got,” Goldberg said.

Goldberg continued to say that if Trump is elected, not only would the country as a whole not be loud or strong enough, but that the U.S. Constitution was also not “strong enough to keep this bozo out.”
Behar has never been one to back down against the former president and even challenged him earlier this month to punish the show’s co-hosts if he returns to office.
Behar said, “Go ahead! Try it!’ after Trump declared he would retaliate against members of the media who opposed him during his first term.
Months ago, Goldberg compared Donald Trump supporters to “cult members” during a heated interview with his ex-White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.
Both Goldberg and Behar went on to grill Hutchinson and her fellow former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin, 34, asking if the pair were “in some kind of denial” as she struggled to understand why they remained Trump support as long as they did. .
Hutchinson, 27, was also asked about her decision to go to the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Behar added that Trump supporters all seemed to have “daddy issues.”

Trump remains the frontrunner for the Republican Party nomination in 2024, easily outpacing his challengers. But he still faces the prospects of four criminal trials on charges related to handling of classified documents and election interference.
In New York, Trump has been involved in a civil fraud trial for more than a month. Recently, his lawyer Alina Habba accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of “extortion” and “fighting for Deutsche Bank.”
The attorney general has alleged that the Trump Organization used Deutsche Bank, the largest lender, by inflating the value of Trump’s companies to secure favorable loans for his hotels.
‘What damage has the Trump Organization done? They have created 1,000 jobs. They pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes… they have single-handedly changed the city skyline,” she continued.
Arthur Engoron, the judge in Trump’s case, ruled well before the trial began that the former president and his co-defendants were liable for fraud and that he will be the one to determine the sentence once the trial is over.
James has requested that Trump be fined $250 million and banned from doing any business in New York.
Trump and his legal team have denied any wrongdoing, as Habba said her client wouldn’t be “sad” if he wasn’t allowed to do business in the state, but that he had also done “no harm.”
