Whoopi SLAMS Trump's "Racist" AI Video! Fans Stunned!
Movies & TV Series 10 February 2026

Whoopi Goldberg, the celebrated actress and voice of Shenzi the hyena in Disney's iconic *The Lion King*, has unleashed a scathing critique of Donald Trump after the former president shared a bizarre, AI-generated video that many are calling racially insensitive. The video in question, which quickly spread across social media platforms, depicted former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama as apes, while portraying Goldberg herself as a hippopotamus. The imagery immediately sparked outrage and ignited a fierce debate about the ethics and potential dangers of AI-generated content, especially when used in political discourse.

Goldberg, never one to mince words, didn't hold back in her assessment of Trump's actions. "You know, I don’t know why you feel the need to..." she began, her tone laced with both frustration and disbelief. Her criticism extended beyond the apparent racial undertones of the video. She also pointed out the sheer factual inaccuracy of portraying her as a hippo. It's not just that she wasn't the voice of a hippo in *The Lion King*; it's the fact that hippos, as she aptly noted, are arguably far more dangerous than lions – a creature Trump chose to depict himself as in the same video.

“Just be aware – hippos will kill you faster than a lion in the wild," Goldberg quipped, adding a touch of dark humor to the serious subject. "Hippos lay on you and you’re gone. They chase you…If you’re going to make fun of folks, just make your own stuff and admit that you did it.” The underlying message was clear: if you're going to engage in political satire, at least be original and own your creations, and for goodness' sake, get your facts straight. It's hard to argue with that logic.

Goldberg wasn't alone in her condemnation. Her co-host on *The View*, Sunny Hostin, also weighed in with a particularly pointed statement. Hostin suggested that the Obamas "live rent free" in Trump's head, implying that the former president is deeply insecure about his own achievements and popularity compared to Barack Obama. "He knows he will never be as excellent. He knows he will never have half of the class that they have. He knows that he won’t have the marriage that they have…He will never have the Nobel Peace Prize. He will just never have the swag that President Obama has. He will never have the popularity that President Obama has, and that’s what he wants. He’s just a deeply small man,” Hostin stated emphatically. These are strong words, reflecting the intense polarization that continues to grip American politics. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential for AI to be weaponized, exacerbating existing divisions and spreading misinformation. It also highlights the importance of media literacy in an age where distinguishing between reality and AI-generated fiction is becoming increasingly challenging.
