Whoopi Goldberg Urges Trump To Tackle 1 Concern Before Enacting Movie Tariffs

Whoopi Goldberg would like President Donald Trump and his administration to get their priorities in order — preferably before tackling Hollywood.

Goldberg’s visible disdain for Trump remains on full display on “The View” as the president has once again zeroed in on what she deems to be a spectacular misuse of time.

On Tuesday’s episode, the EGOT winner sounded off on the administration’s proposed 100% tariffs on American films produced overseas.

“The trade war waged by you-know-who, is now targeting Hollywood, with threats to impose a 100% tariff on American movies made overseas,” Goldberg said.

On Sunday, Trump took aim at the film industry for shifting productions overseas due to other nations’ tax incentives, saying it is a “national security threat.”

“The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. He continued to say that “Hollywood and many areas within the U.S.A are being devastated.”

Enter actor Jon Voight — one of Trump’s self-declared “special ambassadors” to Hollywood — who, in a video posted Monday on X, formerly Twitter, praised the president’s supposed love for showbiz.

“I recently met with our president, Donald J. Trump, who loves the entertainment business, wants to see Hollywood thrive and make films bigger and greater than ever before, as he says, and see productions come back to American Hollywood,” the actor said.

After the clip played on the program, a visibly exasperated Goldberg struggled to contain her disbelief.

She then snapped and said, “Could you please lower the price of eggs before you start this?”

The actor went on to explain: “When you go over to another country to work, you work with the people who are there. We don’t import our folks to go over there. So, who are you going to put this tariff on? Is it on the production? Is it on the studio? What are you talking about?”

Co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in with a more measured assessment: “I don’t think he knows what he’s talking about.”

She added that “the 10 highest grossing movies in the world last year were all released by U.S. studios, and so, we export that to other countries, giving us, in the United States, more income.”
