Whoopi Goldberg Urges 25th Amendment Consideration After Trump’s UN Speech

Her on-air remark followed a UN speech marked by technical glitches that now face conflicting explanations.

Overview

  • On The View, Goldberg said it may be time to invoke the 25th Amendment after Trump’s roughly 56-minute off-script address to the UN General Assembly.
  • Sunny Hostin clarified the amendment’s relevance to presidential capacity and accused Trump of falsely claiming he had ended seven wars, saying he seeks a Nobel Peace Prize.
  • Sara Haines labeled the speech a “trainwreck,” while Joy Behar and Hostin called it an “embarrassment,” and Goldberg said global audiences are more worried than amused.
  • During his remarks, Trump highlighted a stalled escalator ride with the first lady and a malfunctioning teleprompter, joking about delivering the speech without it.
  • UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said a U.S. delegation videographer may have triggered the escalator’s safety stop, as the White House suggested deliberate staging and Trump alleged “triple sabotage” and demanded an investigation.
