‘The View’: Whoopi Goldberg Delivers Spicy Message to Trump About What ‘Blue Tsunami’ Election Really Means

The cohosts of The View have been reacting to the runaway success of the Democratic party members in the 2026 midterm elections ever since last week, but this time, they observed it from the angle of Donald Trump‘s own reaction on 60 Minutes. And moderator-slash-cohost Whoopi Goldberg took it upon herself to interpret the real meaning of the results after hearing Trump’s words on the subject.

The cohosts started Monday’s (November 9) episode by reviewing clips from Trump’s interview with Ross Douthat, including when he said he couldn’t ever forgive enemies, even if it meant being sent to Hell in the afterlife, and when he admitted that his administration’s immigration enforcement policies may have cost him support in this election.

In response, Alyssa Farah Griffin complimented Douthat for an “excellently conducted interview” and said she was most taken with the subject of Trump’s inability to forgive his perceived political enemies upon punishment of damnation.

“I’ve never really heard this president pressed on the afterlife, and this is a man who’s in his 80s. And most people kind of start thinking about, ‘What is my legacy? What’s the legacy I’m leaving for my family? And what does the future, if anything, hold for me?'” Griffin said. “The fact that he couldn’t just concede, he Ross, pushed even harder and said, ‘Mr. President, you’ve had the most charmed and remarkable life of anyone in my lifetime. You’re telling me you couldn’t find it in your heart to forgive some of your enemies?’ That hit me. I try to not have any enemies because that takes from your own soul to stay hateful for people, to stay angry at people, and that this man who will make the most important moral judgment calls for this nation, doesn’t have basic forgiveness in his heart.”

Ana Navarro had a completely different takeaway from that subject, saying, “Well, I have to tell you something. I’m never going to forgive him for what he has done to this country. I am never going to forgive him for what he has done to children, traumatizing an entire generation of Latino children.” She went on to pull out the numbers of the cost of Trump’s immigration policies and ICE agents’ actions across the country, and concluded with, “If he wants to work with Democrats to pass immigration, there have been Republicans and Democrats working on immigration reform for decades. The bills are already written. Call up the Hispanic Caucus; they’ll give, they’ll send it to you. One of them can ever run it over to you.” She also criticized Trump for characterizing Latinos worth allowing to stay include maids and janitors and landscapers. 

Sunny Hostin agreed with Navarro’s last point, especially, saying, “The Latino community, the Black community, it’s not a monolith. And I was struck by the fact that that’s how he classified Latinos.” She went on to criticize Trump for claiming that the reason the Republicans lost en masse was that he wasn’t on the ballots, saying, “No, sir, you were on the ballot. And people, 43% of people said the reason that they voted against the Republican Party is because they wanted to send a message to him, and it’s so clear to me that he hasn’t received the message.”

Sara Haines thought it was remarkable that Trump finally admitted in an interview that many of the subjects of his immigration enforcement policies were gulity only of the crime of being undocumented. However, like Griffin, she was most shocked by his statement on the afterlife and being unable to forgive. “As he sat there, we’re right on the heels of a complete blue-nami sweep of everything. Doesn’t plant a lot of hope in your heart when he speaks about, ‘I will go to eternal damnation rather than ever forgive an enemy.’ Doesn’t really raise the bipartisan attempt at working with this Congress of another party that he considers them enemies,” she said.

Goldberg, who got the last word on the subject, countered Haines to say, “But this can’t can’t possibly be a surprise. No, it can’t be a surprise. Now listen, this is a person who has disregarded people of color in this country for years… it’s not something new that’s come up.” However, she explained why she refused to believe that Trump has at all softened his stance on immigration after promoting Stephen Miller to chief of staff.

“You can be as soft spoken as you want to, and look, I don’t believe anything you say because what you do does not tell me that you received anything. He didn’t hear anything we said. He didn’t, and it’s OK because he didn’t need to hear it. He’s not the one who’s going to make the changes….”

After Haines pointed out that Trump has been amplifying social media claims that the election was stolen, Goldberg continued with a message directly for Trump: “Listen, the days of people just taking you at your word because you believe it and they’re going to believe those days are done. That’s what the blue tsunami should have told you. Your ability to bamboozle the country, the people in the country, those days are done, man. People see that you have no clothes, and they don’t like seeing you naked,” she said.
