Whoopi Goldberg Calls Out Joe Rogan’s ‘Fake News’ About ‘The View’ Once Loving Trump; 2011 Interview Shows Goldberg Slamming Trump’s ‘B.S.’ to His Face

As a seasoned movie critic with over four decades of experience under my belt, I must say that Whoopi Goldberg‘s performance on “The View” was nothing short of masterful. Her ability to fact-check and call out false claims with poise and precision is truly a sight to behold. It reminded me of the old adage: “Facts don’t care about your feelings.


During an episode of “The View,” entertainment icon Whoopi Goldberg set the record straight when addressing false claims made by Joe Rogan about a Trump appearance on their show. It turns out, Trump had recently been a guest on Rogan’s podcast, where they both suggested that the hosts of “The View” were once friendly towards Trump. However, Goldberg quickly debunked this notion, labeling it as misinformation.

As a movie enthusiast, I feel compelled to address some misinformation that’s been circulating:

2011 marked a time, four years prior to his official announcement, where Goldberg pointed out that this was the initial mistake they made.

Incorrect was Rogan’s statement that Trump was referred to as “our friend” during his appearance on “The View.” Upon fact-checking, it was found that former co-host Barbara Walters had actually called Trump “my friend,” while Goldberg remained expressionless on the couch. The original video of the interview revealed this discrepancy.

Goldberg remarked, “Barbara maintained her typical courteous demeanor towards all visitors. Yet, did I come across as inviting and friendly? Was that a friendly greeting extended to him?” This is how Goldberg put it. However, because I value Barbara’s opinions, she advised me to always be polite to guests regardless of the situation. And for the most part, I managed to pull it off, just as I do today.

Later, Goldberg challenged Rogan’s misconception that the “The View” panel had a particularly positive view of Trump as early as 2011.

Goldberg pointed out that Joe might have overlooked something, as she played a video from a 2011 interview where she criticized Trump for his attention towards Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

In 2011, Goldberg expressed his opinion on air by saying, “That’s the most enormous load of nonsense about a dog I’ve encountered in a long time!” He wasn’t implying this because Trump is Black, he added, because to his knowledge, no white president has ever been asked to prove their birth certificate. He considered that statement as baloney.

Looking back on the 2011 interview, Goldberg stated: “This program has given a platform to various individuals, some we align with and others not. Personally, I haven’t been a supporter of [Trump]. I find his manner of speaking bothersome, and I don’t appreciate how he communicates with us or the nation. Prior to his presidential campaign, I hadn’t had much to express about him. However, in 2011…my expression said it all.

Goldberg stated, “It’s not right to ridicule him anymore since it’s become too effortless. Instead, our priority is finding the appropriate individual to guide the country out of its current slump. Everyone seems frustrated all the time. You can see it on people’s faces as they walk down the street…We’ve been dealing with trauma for quite some time now. I hope that with the upcoming election, we will get a break and can focus on addressing the needs of the people once more. That is what I wish for.

During this election season, Trump has found himself locked in a verbal spat with the ladies from “The View”. Joe Rogan brought up an interesting point about the hosts’ current criticism of Trump, noting their friendly interactions with him back in 2011. However, Whoppi Goldberg effectively refuted this claim, showing that she never held positive feelings towards him.

At a rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, earlier this month, Trump referred to the hosts of “The View” as rather unintelligent individuals. He also recalled that Goldberg had previously been hired for a comedy gig at one of his casinos, but he disparaged her performance, stating it was excessively vulgar and distasteful.

Goldberg firmly stated in response to Trump, ‘I was dirty and I’m not afraid to admit it. I’ve always been dirty, and that was clear when you decided to hire me.’ I even headlined at your casino, a role I might have continued if not for its decline under your leadership. Do you really think I’m stupid? You hired me on four separate occasions.

“You didn’t know what you were getting? How dumb are you?” Goldberg asked again.
