Whoopi can not talk about Trump without spitting

Her reaction highlights the deep-seated animosity some public figures feel towards Trump.

Whoopi Goldberg’s aversion to saying Donald Trump’s name aloud has become a recurring theme on her ABC show, “The View”. On Tuesday’s episode, Goldberg accidentally uttered the former President’s name, prompting her to fake-spit on the floor in disgust.

Goldberg has consistently referred to Trump as “you-know-who” on her show, refusing to say his name in conjunction with the office of the presidency. Her cohosts and audience have grown accustomed to this quirk, often laughing and teasing her about it.

During the discussion about the upcoming presidential debate between Trump and Joe Biden, Goldberg’s cohost Sara Haines warned that Trump should be taken seriously and literally.

Goldberg replied, “I don’t think we have to – I think it would be remiss of us to not say – Joe Biden knows how to do this. He knows how to do this, he’s quite good at this.”

She then paused, saying “and when I say him, I mean… Trump.” The audience erupted in laughter as Goldberg pretended to spit on the floor, exaggerating her distaste for the former President’s name.

Goldberg’s refusal to say Trump’s name has been a topic of discussion since 2018. In an interview, she explained that she couldn’t bring herself to use his name in conjunction with the presidency, citing her disdain for his actions and policies. While some have criticized her for being childish or disrespectful, Goldberg remains unapologetic, stating that she can live with the criticism.

This latest incident has sparked a mix of reactions on social media, with some praising Goldberg’s commitment to her beliefs and others accusing her of being petty and unprofessional. However, it’s clear that Goldberg’s stance has become an integral part of her public persona and a staple of “The View”‘s humor and banter.

As the presidential debate approaches, the tension between Trump and Biden is palpable. Goldberg’s comments, while lighthearted and humorous, reflect the deep-seated divisions and animosity between the two candidates’ supporters. While some may view her actions as trivial or immature, they also highlight the intense emotions and passions surrounding this election

In the end, Goldberg’s fake-spitting incident has become a memorable moment in “The View”‘s history, showcasing the host’s unwavering commitment to her beliefs and her unapologetic humor. Love her or hate her, Whoopi Goldberg remains a prominent figure in American media, unafraid to speak her mind and make us laugh in the process.
