At a rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump took aim at “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg, sharing an anecdote that left the crowd laughing at her expense. Speaking to a packed audience at the Santander Arena on Wednesday evening, Trump’s primary focus was on criticizing the Biden-Harris administration for its handling of inflation and the crisis at the southern border. However, he also made time for a lighthearted jab at Goldberg.
Trump recounted an incident from several years ago when he had hired Goldberg to perform as a comedian. According to Trump, during one of her shows, he walked out because her performance was “disgusting and filthy.” He claimed Goldberg’s use of offensive language was so off-putting that he vowed never to hire her again.
The crowd reacted enthusiastically to Trump’s story, which was delivered with his characteristic humor. The former president used the anecdote as a way to poke fun at Goldberg, who has been a frequent critic of his on “The View.”
Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania focused on rallying support for his 2024 campaign, with attacks on his political rivals mixed in with moments of humor like this one. The crowd, supportive as ever, enjoyed his roasting of Goldberg, showing that Trump still knows how to entertain and energize his base while addressing serious political topics.
TRUMP: I hired Whoopi to work for me as a comedian before this stuff a long time ago. And I went; now, I’m not particularly shy about what I hear, and her mouth was so foul.
Every word out of her mouth was like the F word. I was with a group of people and we had to leave. She was so filthy dirty — disgusting. I said I would never hire her again, and I left.

Goldberg was unhappy hearing these words from the 45th President and went on an unhinged rampage on her show today. As one will see below, she called him “dumb” multiple times and repeatedly mocked his business acumen.
GOLDBERG: As it turns out, I was filthy. I was filthy.
And stand on that fact. I have always been filthy. And you knew that when you hired me. I headline babe at your casino, which I might have continued to play had you not run it into the ground!
JOY BEHAR: Exactly, who does that?
GOLDBERG: You know, listen, how dumb are you? You hired me four times. You got to William Morris and get the things because I know you all are going to be looking for it. So, talk to William Morris.
You hired me four times, and you didn’t know what you were getting. How dumb are you?!
