As co-hosts of “The View” blasted President Donald Trump\u2019s rhetoric on the costs of the Iran war, Whoopi Goldberg suggested Wednesday that America looks castrated and vulnerable on the world stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a now-infamous clip, Trump was asked Tuesday morning whether he considers Americans\u2019 financial situations amid negotiations to end the costly Iran war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Not even a little bit,” Trump replied. “The only thing that matters when I\u2019m talking about Iran \u2014 they can\u2019t have a nuclear weapon. I don\u2019t think about Americans\u2019 financial situation. I don\u2019t think about anybody. I think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That\u2019s all.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many Americans, including his supporters, have lamented that the war was not only a major betrayal of his campaign promises but has also made their economic situations far worse. The co-hosts of “The View” blasted Trump for the statement he made, arguing it shows his indifference to Americans and even “his own cult.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“He didn\u2019t care about his own supporters\u2019 pleas for no more wars when he went into Iran, and now he doesn\u2019t care that Americans can\u2019t afford to feed their families,” Whoopi argued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The co-hosts later noted that multiple high-profile members of Trump\u2019s administration have been lampooned as unserious people or security liabilities for the nation itself, arguing this often reaches such a pitch that even Trump eventually sours on them and fires them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hosts discussed recent reporting from The Atlantic about the alleged issues associated with FBI Director Kash Patel. The Atlantic recently published an article that cited multiple anonymous sources telling the outlet that the FBI director had an “emotional outburst” related to difficulty logging into a computer system, has had “bouts of excessive drinking” and has been absent enough to prompt security concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I have no faith in the people running anything. I don\u2019t believe in anybody running this country right now and that\u2019s what makes me nervous,” Whoopi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“OK, well, who is going to take responsibility \u2014 you know, the CDC, right now? No one is running the CDC. We have this potential virus, and they keep saying, \u2018No, there\u2019s nothing to worry about.\u2019 I don\u2019t want to hear that from you because you don\u2019t know if there\u2019s nothing to worry about.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We have been de-balled as a nation, I feel.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As other co-hosts asked if she meant to say castrated, Whoopi replied, “It\u2019s the same thing. I don\u2019t have them, but I know it\u2019s the same thing. But the idea that no one is in charge freaks me out.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I think America still has its basketballs. I just think we have some very struggling leaders right now,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sentiment around the world, Whoopi argued, is that “they just don\u2019t believe anything we\u2019re doing because nothing we do seems to have any weight.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Deeply unserious, de-balled,” Whoopi concluded. “Whatever it is, it\u2019s not what America should be seeing and how we should be seeing it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
