Veteran actress and TV host Whoopi Goldberg recently called out Donald Trump for his decision to announce a war against Iran.

Whoopi Goldberg slams Donald Trump amid Iran war
The 70-year-old comedian recently criticized the POTUS’ decision to start a war against Iran on the latest episode of her talk show.
During the March 9 episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg asserted that Donald Trump is putting the lives of numerous Americans at risk. She said, “Basically, we are sending people in to lose their lives. Because we have seen how fighting goes. We knew we shouldn’t have gone into Afghanistan. We knew that, and they decided to do it anyway. So now we are in the same position where someone who doesn’t seem to care that human beings are being sent to war. That’s people’s sons and daughters. His kids aren’t going.”
The Ghost star further conveyed that none of the Americans should send their daughters and sons to the war as “this is not what we should be doing.” She addressed Trump and said, “And you said you weren’t going to do this.”
Recently, Donald Trump spoke to CBS News on the phone and suggested that the war with Iran is about to end soon. He told the outlet, “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. [Iran has] no navy, no communications, they’ve got no air force. Their missiles are down to a scatter.”
The two-time President further went on to add in his statement, “Their drones are being blown up all over the place, including their manufacturing of drones. If you look, they have nothing left. There’s nothing left in a military sense.”
