US Edition‘The View’: Whoopi Goldberg Slams ‘Ridiculous’ Legal Note About Trump Joke
Whoopi Goldberg expressed frustration over having to clarify a joke about Trump's autopen use amid discussions on his contradictory pardon statements on The View.
- On Sunday, The View hosts discussed President Donald Trump's 60 Minutes interview, sharing their takeaways during the Hot Topics segment the show highlighted on November 3, 2025.
- Questions about an autopen's use prompted legal disclaimers from Sunny Hostin, who noted it's unknown if the device signed Changpeng Zhao's pardon, while Trump admitted he didn’t know Zhao despite pardoning him.
- The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg reacted sharply on air, growing frustrated Monday, cutting off mid-sentence to read and rip up a card while defending her joke and nuance.
- Passing a note, Sunny Hostin punctuated the segment's closing moments as she passed a note to Whoopi Goldberg and questioned why Trump criticizes former President Joe Biden for autopens while seeming unaware of his own pardons.
- The panel's back‑and‑forth mixed levity with questions about presidential pardons as Alyssa Farah Griffin laughed that she 'loves when Sunny passes notes,' while Whoopi Goldberg stressed she is deliberate when joking.
