Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of the daytime program “The View,” voiced her thoughts on air about comments President Trump made recently regarding entitlement programs.

For some unknown reason, she apparently thinks: “We could put you in jail!”

Um, seriously?

First off, who is “we?”

Secondly, unless “we” is part of a jury or an official in the justice system, they can’t jail someone.

That’s kidnapping and false imprisonment, to my knowledge.

Most importantly, Trump wasn’t talking about taking anyone’s social security.

CNN reported on what Trump was actually discussing, via his campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt:

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt later told CNN that Trump was “clearly talking about cutting waste, not entitlements.”

“President Trump delivered on his promise to protect Social Security and Medicare in his first term, and President Trump will continue to strongly protect Social Security and Medicare in his second term,” said Leavitt, who argued: “The only candidate who poses a threat to Social Security and Medicare is Joe Biden.”

“By unleashing American energy, slashing job-killing regulations, and adopting pro-growth America First tax and trade policies, President Trump will quickly rebuild the greatest economy in history and put Social Security and Medicare on a stronger footing for generations to come,” Leavitt said.

Whoopi seems to think she has some kind of authority that she doesn’t.

Goldberg also recently stated that she would move to China when Trump wins in November.

I think we’ve heard this line before…how many followed through?

The Daily Wire reported on Whoopi’s absurd take on Trump’s comments:

Goldberg began the segment with a clip of Trump giving a phone interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” where he lamented the poor management of entitlement programs in years past.

“The bad management, the tremendous bad management of entitlements, there’s tremendous amounts of things, number of things you can do,” Trump said, apparently suggesting entitlement reform in some fashion.

“Yeah, we could put you in jail — for all of your entitlements,” Goldberg said as the clip ended. “You know, Social Security is not an entitlement, we paid for that. We paid for that. Every time you get a check, you paid into the … you know, this is your money!”

Goldberg did not mention a whole host of other entitlements – including a litany of federal welfare programs — most of which provide funds, resources, or services to people who did not pay into the system in the way they would for Social Security.
