Whoopi Goldberg and Julie Banderas Clash Over Trump’s Baby Bonus
A heated media showdown erupted in early 2025 after The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg criticized Donald Trump’s proposed $5,000 “baby bonus” for new parents. Calling it insufficient, Goldberg dismissed the policy with sarcasm, sparking backlash from viewers who saw the aid as meaningful. Fox News anchor Julie Banderas fired back on The Big Weekend Show, slamming Goldberg’s remarks as elitist and going further by taking a personal jab at Goldberg’s child-free status. The fiery exchange quickly escalated into a media spectacle, highlighting deep cultural and political divisions. Supporters and critics of both women took to social media, turning a policy debate into a national flashpoint.
