Talk Show Audience Reacts When Whoopi Goldberg Frames Trump’s Behavior As Reality TV Show Scripted

Whoopi Goldberg has consistently voiced her dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump’s governance style. On a recent episode of “The View,” she criticized him for transforming the presidency into a live reality show. This discourse unfolded during a conversation with ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl, who suggested that Trump might enjoy auditioning potential successors, akin to his role on “The Apprentice.” Goldberg remarked, "I don’t know if I want to play that game," highlighting her distrust of the President’s approach. Karl promoted his new book, “Retribution,” discussing the implications of Trump possibly running for a third term in 2028, and emphasized Trump’s focus on his political legacy. Goldberg voiced concern over the presidency being perceived as mere entertainment rather than a serious obligation, asserting, “He wants to make the U.S. ‘The Apprentice.’” She humorously probed Karl about Trump’s “endgame,” to which he speculated regarding Trump’s evolving thoughts on his historical legacy, aligning with Goldberg’s ongoing critique of his administration.
