Whoopi Signs Off ‘The View’ With Wild Anti-Trump Conspiracy
ABC’s The View closed Monday’s episode with co-host Whoopi Goldberg delivering another forceful on-air message criticizing President Donald Trump and calling on Americans to take action against his administration.
As the show wrapped, Goldberg looked directly into the camera and told viewers it was time to protest, accusing President Trump of repeatedly violating the Constitution and his oath of office. She also suggested impeachment could be back on the table if Democrats regain control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections.
The comments came after the show played a clip of Trump taking the presidential oath during his second inauguration.

Trump: “… Constitution of the United States —”
Chief Justice Roberts: “So help me God.”
Trump: “So help me God.”

Goldberg responded with a jab:
“So I don’t know why you don’t remember it,” she said. “Because we saw you say it. This isn’t AI you. That was you.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in, “Twice,” referencing both of Trump’s inaugurations.
Goldberg continued:
“So, when you say you don’t know, you have to check, then you shouldn’t be president if you don’t know the job. Why are you doing this? And don’t act like we’re the idiots here. You know the job. And yes, you know you are violating your oath of office by doing that. Or am I crazy?”
Hostin, a former federal prosecutor, added her perspective on the seriousness of taking the oath.
“When I became a federal prosecutor — that’s a pretty lowly job in comparison to the United States president — I took the oath to uphold the Constitution. I think we have a picture of myself taking the oath. Alyssa took the oath,” she said, pointing to fellow co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin.
“And I will tell you, when you say those words, it feels heavy. Like, oh no. Let me go back and read the Constitution that I learned in law school.”
Hostin explained the legal issue at the center of their criticism — the Fifth Amendment:
“No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law,” she said, referencing its protections for everyone on U.S. soil, including undocumented immigrants.
“You can’t just take someone and deport them based on how they look. Even if you came here without documentation, the Constitution guarantees due process.”
Co-host Ana Navarro added a sarcastic jab:
“You know what I wonder? I wonder if when he took that oath of office, he thought he was saying he swore to uphold the constipation of the United States. Or maybe the confiscation. I don’t know. Maybe he didn’t hear right,” she said.
“But look, that is your essential part of the job—to uphold the Constitution. You’ve got one job, dude. If you can’t do it, then get the hell out.”
Goldberg’s closing remarks echoed statements she made the week prior, where she once again looked straight into the camera to issue a call to action:
“Remember, the resistance is real. You’re not alone,” she told viewers.
“People have to get out and you have to march. You have to start making noise. This is now coming back to us. The only way people are going to hear how angry you are is if you get out there.”
She likened the anti-Trump movement to past struggles for women’s and civil rights:
“This is it. It’s now on us. We have to do it. You want to save your Social Security? You got to get up and start screaming, because the only way they’re going to understand that you’re not going to put up with it is if you don’t put up with it.”
