Whoopi Goldberg Tells Donald Trump What We Wish We Could
The Huffington Post | By Katherine Fung
Whoopi Goldberg said Monday that Donald Trump's recent comments, specifically those about Americans with Ebola, were "dopey," "idiotic" and "stupid."
Two Americans, a doctor and another health care worker, were infected with the virus while treating patients in West Africa, and and were quickly returned to the United States for treatment, under close watch of the Center for Disease Control. This did not sit well with Trump, who tweeted:

The U.S. cannot allow EBOLA infected people back. People that go to far away places to help out are great-but must suffer the consequences!

Goldberg was dismayed by the comments on Monday's "The View." She noted that Trump is a friend of hers, but explained that the Americans are under the strict care of the CDC, and that Ebola virus can only be transmitted through bodily fluids. Dr. Kent Brantly, the first of the infected Americans to arrive in the U.S. for treatment at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, appears to be showing signs of improvement, reports Reuters.
Do your homework, Donald," said Goldberg. "Just do your homework ... Before you say something that dumb -- you know better than that. Come on.

No, Donald doesn't know better than that...he knows nothing, in fact.

(16,286 posts)I Love Whoopi and I know how important it is in NYC and show business to not burn bridges, and someone as wealthy and connected as that ass Trump is someone you wouldnt want to cross if you didnt have to.
But it is time, it was time when he demanded the birth certificate, to disavow any friendship with him and anyone like him.
I have had to cut off friends, family, professionals like a dentist who gave me nitrous for free in favor of one who charges the hell out of me for it, but I did it for the correct political reasons

And besides that, would you knowingly give your money to someone who supports the hatred of Women as in pro fetus only people or people who are racist?

(8,791 posts)I mean I've never gotten into a discussion about politics with my doctor or dentist, or even thought to talk to them about it. Honestly, I probably wouldn't care if they were good.
