Whoopi Goldberg didn’t hold back on the Thursday, December 18 episode of The View as she hit out at President Donald Trump’s various claims made during his primetime speech the night before.
The President delivered an address during primetime television programming on Wednesday, December 17, where he largely touted what he saw as his accomplishments from his second term thus far, including claims about immigration and the economy.
However, Goldberg, the panel’s moderator, wasn’t having it with his claims, just days after she also slammed him and other Republicans who were silent over his comments about Rob Reiner following his murder.

The 70-year-old first introduced an edited clip of Trump’s speech highlights to viewers, during which they heard several different claims from the 79-year-old Commander-in-Chief, many of which have been repeated numerous times over the last few months.
“Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess, and I’m fixing it,” he said in the clip. “Our border was open and because of this, our country was being invaded by an army of 25 million people. This is what the Biden Administration allowed to happen to this country.”
“Inflation is stopped, wages are up, prices are down, our nation is strong, America is respected and our country is back stronger than ever before,” the clip concluded.

After staring at the cameras with a dumbfounded look on her face when the clip ended, Goldberg then slammed his claims and comments.
As she did so, she took it upon herself to play on the President’s claims that his enemies all suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), as she gave him a diagnosis of his own.
“Was he on a set? Who was he talking to?” she said.

“You know what, I’m going to tell you, he always likes to say people have Trump Derangement, but I feel like he’s got Obama and Biden Derangement Syndrome!” she continued.
After the other members of the panel – Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin – seemingly agreed with her, she continued with a warning directly to Trump that he wasn’t going to get away with laying all the problems on the administrations before him.
“I mean, I don’t know how many times you’re going to – you can’t keep going to that well, that well is dry!” she said.

“This is on you! You did this! This is all, this is what you’ve put together! It’s not them, it’s nobody but you. It’s You!”
Her comments come as others have pointed out that Trump continues to take hits at the two men who served as the predecessors to both of his terms – Barack Obama and Joe Biden, the 44th and 46th presidents of the United States.
Many have slammed his “Presidential Hall of Fame” in the White House, featuring the portraits of all the Presidents, which already saw Biden’s picture replaced with one featuring an Autopen.

However, he has since also added insulting plaques underneath the portraits for Biden, Obama, and even Bill Clinton.
Biden’s plaque contains insults including referring to him as “Sleepy Joe Biden,” calling him the “worst President in American History” and makes references to “severe mental decline,” “The Biden Crime Family” and “Radical Left handlers.”
Obama’s uses his full name of Barack Hussein Obama – often used as a derisive insult, and called him “one of the most divisive figures in American history,” and also claims he “spied” on Trump’s 2016 campaign and “presided over the creation of the Russuia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the worst political scandal in American History.”

As for Clinton’s the plaque now also contains information about Trump beating his wife, Hillary Clinton, in the 2016 presidential election.
One viewer even commented on the plaques as they watched the ABC show, pointing them out as a sign of Goldberg’s claim that the President had his own “syndrome.”
“Did we mention the defacing of the White House portraits by adding plaques under them with disgusting commentary unbecoming a President or any other respectable government official?” they wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
