zz đ˘ BREAKING NEWS: Trump canât stop watching the shows that destroy him â and Goldberg says that obsession is his real weakness đĽ

Donald Trump has a thousand enemies, but the ones who haunt him most arenât in Congress or on the campaign trail. Theyâre on television â cracking jokes, dropping receipts, and refusing to back down. And lately, two names have been driving him into repeat meltdowns: Jimmy Kimmel and Whoopi Goldberg.
The reason is simple: Trump canât tolerate being mocked by people who wonât flinch. And in both 2024 and 2025, Kimmel and Goldberg took turns exposing Trumpâs biggest weakness in front of millions â his obsession with control, his allergy to truth, and his inability to stop watching the very shows that rip him apart.

On The View, the conversation about Trump has shifted from âcontroversialâ to âunstoppable firehose.â The hosts point out that Trump reportedly averages over 50 false statements a day â a number so absurd it almost sounds satirical, until you remember this is a former president campaigning again. As they joked, most people donât even make 50 statements a day. To hit 50 lies, youâd have to start lying before your feet touch the floor in the morning. And the scary part is that the lie-count isnât shrinking â itâs becoming routine.
But Trumpâs relationship with The View went from petty to unhinged in October 2024, when Hurricane Milton was tearing through Florida. While most leaders were focused on the storm, Trump was at a rally in Reading, Pennsylvania â and instead of talking about the hurricane, he started ranting about the show. He called the hosts âreally dumb people,â then zeroed in on Whoopi Goldberg, sneering that he had hired her âas a comedianâ and that her act was âfilthy, dirty, and disgusting.â

He probably thought it was a throwaway insult. It wasnât.
The next day, Whoopi walked onto the set to Christina Aguileraâs âDirtyâ â trolling Trump with his own word before she even spoke. Then she detonated. She reminded America that Trump didnât just see her comedy â he hired her four times at his casinos. He knew exactly who she was, watched the act up close, paid her for it, and only decades later pretended to be offended because it was politically convenient.
Her verdict was savage and clean: either Trump is lying, or heâs an idiot⌠âprobably both.â
Then she drove the knife deeper: How dumb are you? You hired me four times.

It wasnât just a clapback â it was a public strip-down. With one story, Goldberg made Trump look fake, manipulative, and embarrassingly reactive. Worse for him, she pointed out the quiet truth heâs tried to deny for years: he watches The View. Trump had long claimed he never did. But there he was, bringing it up at a rally during a natural disaster. Goldberg said what everyone was thinking: hurricanes are hitting the country, chaos is everywhere â and the thing that irritated him enough to rant on stage was her show. Thatâs not leadership. Thatâs obsession.
And then Sunny Hostin piled on with the kind of line that goes viral because itâs too real to be scripted: she thanked Trump for lying and allegedly committing crimes so often that he hands them material daily â and added that she may not have spent as much time in a courtroom as he has. The studio erupted. The internet did too. Because it was the punchline hiding in plain sight: Trumpâs legal chaos has become so constant itâs late-night fuel.

Goldberg also reminded viewers this didnât start in 2024. Sheâs been calling out Trump since 2011, especially when he pushed Barack Obama birther conspiracies. When Trump came on The View back then, Whoopi treated the claims with open disgust â calling them a âbig pile of dog mess.â That history matters because it shows this isnât a sudden feud. Itâs a long-running pattern: Trump spreads a story, gets challenged, and then explodes when he canât dominate the room.
And thatâs why he canât handle people like Kimmel and Goldberg. They donât negotiate with his ego. They donât soften the hit. They laugh, they fact-check, and they keep going â live, in front of the audience Trump desperately wants to control.
Trump can scream âfake newsâ at reporters. He can posture at rallies. But when two entertainers expose him with humor and memory, he loses the only weapon he truly relies on: the power to rewrite reality without pushback.
Thatâs why every takedown doesnât just annoy him â it breaks him open. Because for Trump, being laughed at isnât embarrassing. Itâs existential.
