'The View' host Whoopi Goldberg suggests Trump is bribing troops with bonuses

'Outnumbered' panelists discuss President Donald Trump's promise to give U.S. troops a $1,776 'warrior dividend' bonus and the reaction from the left.

Liberal ABC News legend Barbara Walters created "The View" in 1997 to be a midday chat show for women, and it remains under the aegis of ABC News, although it shouldn’t be considered an objective or even fact-based program. Ever since Meghan McCain walked away in 2021 citing "toxic, direct and purposeful hostility" from her co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, there’s been no alternative viewpoints to relentlessly bitter anti-Trump takes on the show. 

So many were amused when the "Yellowstone" spinoff series "Landman" on the streaming service Paramount Plus made fun of "The View" and its tone. In the episode, the lead character, petroleum landman Tommy Norris (played by Billy Bob Thornton) is urging his father, T.L. (Sam Elliott), to kill time around the house by watching a TV show and suggests "The View." When T.L. professes ignorance about it, Tommy sums it up like this: "Bunch of pissed off millionaires bitching about how much they hate millionaires, [President Donald] Trump, and men, and you, and me, and everybody else they got a bee up their ass about." 

That hot take is on the money. Goldberg and Behar are each estimated to make $7 million or more for their vicious daily drumbeat against Trump and the Republicans. All the women on the show — including Sunny Hostin, Sarah Haines, Ana Navarro and the former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin — are believed to be millionaires. It’s easy to poke fun at swanky Manhattan pundits from the oil fields of dusty western Texas. 

So, Thornton’s character Tommy summed up the show’s grousing hypocrisy as "pretty funny." T.L. responds, "Don’t sound funny." Tommy replies, "Well, it ain’t joke funny, it’s like ‘fart in church’ funny, you know what I mean?" T.L. retorts, "That don’t sound funny, either." Tommy shot back: "Well, it depends on your proximity to the fart."

JOY BEHAR HOPES TO 'ACTUALLY INFLUENCE PEOPLE'S THINKING' WITH HER CRITICISM OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

This is not a show that anyone should consider a "news" program, despite its ABC News pedigree. It’s not "fact-based" at all, and the hosts routinely display that they haven’t studied the issues and the policies they’re discussing. Despite this, "The View" typically draws more than two million viewers, a top show in the daytime frame, like "The Price Is Right." 

The show is led by two comedians named "Whoopi" and "Joy," who specialize in speaking angrily into the camera. This week, after Trump promised a $1,776 bonus for military personnel in his primetime speech, Goldberg first doubted the checks would arrive then suggested it was a bribe: "What he's doing is, he's thinking, 'If I make sure that the soldiers have what they need, they'll back me and what I want, see?" 

When the show came out of the Memorial Day weekend, Goldberg bizarrely claimed Trump hadn’t honored Gold Star families: "It was about time we heard him give the Gold Star families their due. It was about time he did that, because he spoke and said we are proud of our Gold Star families. This is the first time — at least maybe — unless you've heard him do it."'

This show doesn't sound half-cocked. That's too generous.
