Whoopi Goldberg Speaks Up Amid Tariff Turmoil

In a fiery discussion on Wednesday's episode of "The View," Whoopi Goldberg took a stand against the controversial tariffs imposed by Donald Trump, as backlash grows from countries around the globe. With nations expressing their outrage and some retaliating with their own tariffs, Goldberg aimed to clarify the sentiments of the American public.

Economic Fallout: A Dire Prediction!

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin raised alarms about the potential consequences of these tariffs, suggesting they could thrust the economy back a century. She highlighted the influence of Peter Navarro, Trump’s economic advisor, who had previously been sidelined, emphasizing that even if Trump retracts the tariffs, the damage might already be irreparable.

"The damage, in many ways, is done," she lamented. "Even if he realizes the error and lifts these tariffs, we’ve already lost trillions in wealth, and countless people have seen their retirement accounts plummet by up to 30%."

Strained Alliances and a Shift in Relations

Farah Griffin further warned that the relationships America has harmed could push allies into closer ties with one another, leaving the U.S. in a precarious position, especially as China looks to capitalize on the situation.

A Direct Appeal to the International Community

In a heartfelt plea, Whoopi addressed countries worldwide, stating, "To all the nations observing us, this is not our wish. This is not what the American people want. We’re unhappy with how this is unfolding, and we will continue to voice our concerns."

She shared her frustration about the disconnect between the American people and those in power, insisting that decisions made by a select few do not reflect the will of the broader population. "When they talk about America, they don't mean us; they refer to a narrow band they think they represent, but they risk losing that support," Whoopi asserted.
