Whoopi Goldberg turns the tables on Donald Trump
The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg mocked President Donald Trump's threat of 10-year prison sentences for those responsible for damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Trump claimed vandals illegally placed chemicals in the water and created a 300-foot gash, subsequently arresting five people. Goldberg laughed while responding, sarcastically, suggesting Trump should face the prison time himself. She argued, It seems to me, that had he not messed with the pool, it would still be a reflecting pool instead of a liquid jungle.Questioning whether evidence supported the vandalism claims, Goldberg proposed the country sue Trump for proceeding without permission and sue the workers who carried out the renovation. She characterized the situation as wasteful government spending, suggesting someone should hold Trump accountable for the failed project, similar to suing a contractor for poor work on a private residence.Watch the video below.
