During a Pennsylvania rally, Donald Trump described Whoopi Goldberg as “filthy, dirty, and disgusting”, further escalating tensions with the outspoken co-host of The View. These remarks followed the show's interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, triggering Trump to insult the entire panel, calling them “dumb” and demeaning Goldberg for her past performances at his now-defunct casinos
Goldberg’s response on air was both witty and pointed: “I was filthy, and I stand by that.” She reminded the audience that Trump had hired her four times to headline at his casino, saying, “You knew exactly what you were getting—how dumb are you?” She added that her performances might have continued had he not “run the casino into the ground”
In her defense, Sunny Hostin, a former prosecutor and co-host, sarcastically thanked Trump for providing material for the show. She invited him to appear on The View, stating: “You’re always welcome—if sitting near a prosecutor doesn’t make you nervous”. The exchange further emphasized Trump’s ongoing tendency to target outspoken women, especially when they challenge him publicly
Goldberg also mocked Trump’s supposed disinterest in the show, saying: “When people say they don’t watch, they’re lying. He obviously watches.” This verbal duel underscores Goldberg’s bold stance against personal attacks and adds to the long-running tensions between Trump and the media, particularly female hosts from influential programs
