oo. š¢ LATEST UPDATE: Whoopi Goldbergās āYou Hired Me Four Timesā Clapback Sends Trump Into a Spiralš„

Donald Trump is no stranger to criticism, but something different happened this week. After Jimmy Kimmel and Whoopi Goldberg dismantled him on live televisionāback-to-back, on two of the biggest platforms in American entertainmentāthe former president didnāt just complain. He erupted.

According to multiple on-air segments and Trumpās own late-night Truth Social activity, the attacks sent him into a full meltdownārage-posting at all hours, lashing out at TV networks, and even dragging regulators into the fight. And the irony? The more he attacked, the stronger and more influential his critics became.
The double hit began on December 8, when Whoopi Goldberg opened The View with a takedown that zeroed in on Trumpās ego. Her target: Trumpās newly touted āFIFA Peace Prize,ā an award many critics say was little more than a vanity trophy.
āYou havenāt been the president for anybody,ā Whoopi said bluntly. āYou care about yourself.ā
Then came the line that landed hardest:
āHeās a guy who likes to get his butt kissed.ā

Her co-hosts piled on. Alyssa Farah Griffin called the award ācringeā and āobviously made up.ā Sunny Hostin added that Trumpās obsession with praise stems from one thingāBarack Obama still living rent-free in his head, and Trumpās long-standing desperation for a Nobel Peace Prize heāll never receive.
Anna Navarro drove the point home with satire, handing out fake gold medals at the table. Her explanation was devastatingly simple: if you give Trump a shiny object, preferably gold, heāll be entertained like a three-year-oldāand move on.
Trump did not move on.
Instead, he snapped back days later at a rally, calling the women of The View āreally dumb peopleā and launching into a bizarre rant about Whoopi Goldberg. He claimed he once hired her at his casino but walked out because her language was too foul. He labeled her āfilthy,ā ādirty,ā ādisgusting,ā and ādemented,ā and told the crowd heād never hire her again.
Whoopiās response was instantāand iconic.
The very next day, she walked onto The View set with Christina Aguileraās āDirrtyā blasting through the speakers.
āI was filthy,ā she said unapologetically. āIāve always been filthyāand you knew that when you hired me.ā

Then she delivered the knockout punch straight into the camera:
āHow dumb are you? You hired me four times.ā
While Trump was still fuming, Jimmy Kimmel delivered the second strike.
On December 4, Kimmel opened his show with what many are calling one of the most brilliant troll moves of the year. Google had just released its 2025 Trending People list, and Kimmel ranked third most searched person in the world.
So who did he thank?
Donald Trump.

āWith perfect timing,ā Kimmel told his audience, ānone of this would have happened without loyal viewers like President Trump, whoās done so much this year to raise awareness of our show.ā
The implication was brutalāand accurate. Trump watches Kimmel obsessively. He rage-posts minutes after episodes air. And Kimmel knows it.
By thanking Trump publicly, Kimmel turned Trumpās fixation into a punchlineāand reminded the world that Trumpās attacks only amplify the very voices heās trying to silence.
Behind the scenes, the reaction grew darker. Trump reportedly began threatening networks, complaining to allies, and pushing regulators to scrutinize shows he doesnāt like. Critics say itās a dangerous pattern: a political figure using power to intimidate comedians for doing their jobs.
But hereās the twist Trump didnāt expect.
The more he lashed out, the clearer the contrast became.
On one side: a former president rage-posting at midnight, obsessed with awards, praise, and television hosts.
On the other: comedians using humor to expose insecurity, ego, and hypocrisyāwith precision.
And in that contrast, Trump lost control of the narrative.
Whoopi Goldberg didnāt back down.
Jimmy Kimmel didnāt apologize.

And millions of viewers tuned inānot just to laugh, but to watch a powerful figure unravel in real time.
Because when satire hits this hard, itās usually because itās landing uncomfortably close to the truth.
