“Not Presidential”: Goldberg Sparks Controversy Over Trump’s UN Address
Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of *The View*, has ignited a political controversy by suggesting the 25th Amendment should be used to remove President Trump from office. Her comments followed the President’s recent speech at the United Nations General Assembly.
Goldberg criticized the address as “unhelpful” and divisive, arguing that it severely damaged America’s global credibility. She expressed that world leaders no longer take the United States seriously as a result of his remarks.
She explicitly proposed invoking the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of a president deemed unfit for duty. Goldberg insisted her stance was not partisan, stating she would have reacted the same way if a Democratic president had given such a speech.
Her co-host, Sunny Hostin, supported this view, accusing Trump of making false claims about resolving international conflicts simply to win a Nobel Peace Prize.
The reaction on social media was intensely divided. Trump’s defenders accused Goldberg of misusing a serious constitutional measure for political gain. Critics also pointed out her past silence on the issue of presidential fitness, calling her current position inconsistent.
Trump’s actual UN speech was confrontational, criticizing the organization and global migration policies. Technical issues and reported audience laughter during the event added to the perception of a troubled appearance.
This incident highlights the deeply polarized nature of U.S. politics, where even constitutional procedures are drawn into partisan debates. It also underscores the significant influence media personalities wield in shaping public political discourse.
