The first concept images of Donald Trump’s presidential library were released this week and, to “The View” moderator Whoopi Goldberg, the building simply looks like male genitalia.
The ABC host offered her assessment of the building during the first Hot Topics discussion of the day on Tuesday. Initially, the conversation surrounded a recent fly-by of two Apache helicopters at Kid Rock’s home. But, as the discourse continued, the women got frustrated about more and more. For host Joy Behar, it was the money that the Trump family has made while in office. For Whoopi, it was the images of this building.
“Did you see the rendition of the library that he’s building?” she asked, needing a moment to compose herself mid-question. “It’s a giant — it looks like a giant penis!”
The other hosts had a good laugh at that, and Behar joked that it’s ironic for Trump to be proud of a library “because he can’t read, as it is.” Granted, a presidential library is an archive and museum, rather than a place where books are checked out.
Speaking more seriously, Whoopi unleashed her real anger, shredding the president for always being focused on construction.
“It’s just this giant thing, and it’s like, where are you putting that?” she said. “And why are you building a bunker under the White House? The White House doesn’t belong — it’s not your building! You don’t own the building! You can’t just put stuff there!”
“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
