Whoopi Goldberg Fires Back at Donald Trump Over Movie Tariffs and Says ‘Please Stop’: ‘Could You Lower the Price of Eggs Before You Start This?’

1. >Trump caused shock and confusion in the film and TV industries this week by writing on social media that he had authorized the U.S. Trade Representative and the Commerce Department to initiate steps to impose a 100% tariff on films made overseas.

   >“Okay, look, you can’t do that,” Goldberg fired back on “The View” (via EW). “What that equates to is, you’re going to tell me how to write the story I want to write if it happens in Europe? Look, could you please lower the price of eggs before you start this?”

   >“When you go over to another country to work, you work with the people who are there,” the EGOT winner continued. “We don’t import our folks to go over there. Who are you going to put this tariff on? The production? The studio? What are you talking about?… It is part of what we do. Please stop. The bottom line is tax incentives. If you want to change, you have to change it in the states and make it available for people to shoot here. Don’t stop us from going over and shooting overseas, because then you’re limiting us.”

   >“And also, not for nothing. The movies teach people English,” Goldberg concluded. “We teach people who will never get to America, what America is all about. We show them who we are. If you impose a tax like this, you’re saying that we’re not good enough, and that’s not the case. We’re the best in the world.”

2. Good luck with that

4. Does anyone watch The View, besides entertainment reporters?

5. Shut up you old bag.

6. Felon47 already took the W for eggs and gas so he’s moving on. According to him gas is under $2 and they now pay you to buy eggs.

7. Wasn’t she one that promised to leave the first term? Payday’s too good to be true to your word, huh?

   No one has any interest in ‘the view.’

8. No, he can’t lower the price of eggs, in answer to Whoopi’s rhetorical query. He has no idea how to do so.

   And more to the point: he could not care less about the price of eggs. And anyone that thought he did is beyond gullible.

9. Why do you want eggs when you have gas under 2 dollars???

10. Of all newsworthy events going on in the world, this is what is being reported on, Whoopi Goldbergs opinion? Gross.

11. Her entire existence and relevance is centered around her hate of someone else. Very sad…. I miss Guinan.

12. Eggs! Hell, lower the cost of medical care.

13. But he said egg prices are already down! Checkmate. 🧐

14. Might as well have Rosie O’Donnell ask

15. Umm who wants to tell her?

16. Or make us all rich like he promised. He said we’d all be making money hand over fist, but so far we’ve only seen a lot of people lose their jobs and prices are still skyrocketing.

17. Price of eggs way down Whoopi should do research before she opens her mouth. I can never unhear that the Holocaust was just white on white crime. She’s lost her mind

18. This hyper fixation of eggs is gonna screw us over. If he passes subsidies for eggs people will stfu and lose the pressure on the overall problem of inflation.

19. Why even bring up the price of eggs now, its irrelevant to everything else that is happening.

20. Honestly, no he can’t, and at this point is really stupid to keep asking. He wasn’t ever going to lower the price of eggs, that was a lie from the first time he said it, and we all need to stop pretending like it was ever anything other than a lie. Beyond it being a lie, is it even something the president can unilaterally do?
