Whoopi Goldberg argues America is 'de-balled' and unserious on the world stage

"Not even a little bit," Trump replied. "The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran - they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing - we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all."

Many Americans, including his supporters, have lamented that the war was not only a major betrayal of his campaign promises, but has also made their economic situations far worse. The co-hosts of "The View" blasted Trump for the statement he made, arguing it shows his indifference to Americans and even "his own cult."

The co-hosts later noted that multiple high-profile members of Trump's administration have been lampooned as unserious people or security liabilities for the nation itself, arguing this often reaches such a pitch that even Trump eventually sours on them and fires them.

"We have been de-balled as a nation, I feel," Whoopi said.

As other co-hosts asked if she meant to say castrated, Whoopi replied, "It's the same thing. I don't have them, but I know it's the same thing. But the idea that no one is in charge freaks me out."

"I think America still has its basketballs. I just think we have some very struggling leaders right now," co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin replied.

The sentiment around the world, Whoopi argued, is that "They just don't believe anything we're doing, because nothing we do seems to have any weight."

"Deeply unserious, de-balled," Whoopi concluded. "Whatever it is, it's not what America should be seeing and how we should be seeing it."
