Whoopi Goldberg Calls For 25th Amendment After Trump’s Heated UN Speech
“He had a chance to deliver much more than what he did, and they don’t consider him to be serious anymore. I’m worried,” Goldberg added on air, making her concerns about Trump’s international standing and leadership crystal clear.
“Well, they questioned Biden’s competence. If Biden had acted like this I would have said, ‘Yeah take him’ … This was not presidential and this was not helpful,” Goldberg explained, emphasizing that she believed Trump’s performance at the UN fell short of what was expected from an American president.
Co-host Sonny Hostin in particular accused Trump of misleading the United Nations General Assembly by claiming he had brought an end to seven global conflicts.
According to Hostin, this narrative was being pushed largely in hopes of landing a Nobel Peace Prize, rather than reflecting reality.
Many took to social media platforms to defend Trump and question her credibility.
“She was curiously silent during the dementia years of 2021 – 2025” one person posted, referring to her silence in previous years.
Meanwhile, Trump’s speech itself was fiery and confrontational. He openly challenged the role of the United Nations, accusing the body of hiding behind “empty words” while, in his view, enabling “an assault on Western countries” through policies of mass migration.
He continued by declaring, “It’s time to end the failed experiment of open borders. You have to end it now,” doubling down on his message about national sovereignty and stricter border control.
Trying to make light of the technical slip, Trump joked that whoever handled the equipment was in “big trouble,”. His remark drew laughs from those in the room, although Goldberg insisted on air that the crowd’s reaction was mocking rather than supportive.
Throughout the address, he circled back to the issue several times, complaining not only about the teleprompter failure but also joking about an escalator malfunction that happened right as he and First Lady Melania Trump stepped onto it.
