The abortion-loving cast of ABC’s The View were outraged on Tuesday’s episode because of a new Trump administration policy designed to increase America’s fertility rate by making it easier to have kids. Their insane reactions ranged from lying about it being only available to white families to Trump wanting “toddler white nationalists” to claiming it was bad because it didn’t cover all child expenses until the age of 20.

After playing soundbites of the Oval Office event announcing the program, moderator Whoopi Goldberg, who tried to pressure her own daughter into killing her unborn child (grandma failed in that endeavor, now she’s a great grandma), shouted about how Trump needed to have the government pay for everything in a child’s life:

Because it's not enough to say have babies! You have to -- those babies are with you every day! You got to take care of them. You got to feed them! You got to keep them occupied! You got to put them in child care! You got to put them in school! You got to take care of them! You have to do Summers with them! You have to pay for stuff. (…) And you need to give people money while the child is growing! You can't just hand them $18 million -- $18,000 and say go to school! You can't do that!

 

 

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, no fan of President Trump, actually pushed back on Goldberg and gave him credit for the program. She admitted to having “set up one of these Trump accounts for my son when he was born” and praised the fertility program since she used IVF to have her son:

It took me five rounds of IVF. Six figures to get pregnant. I didn't have any coverage from employers from it because I'm a contractor. This - One of my medications alone on this TrumpRX is about 10 percent of what I paid for. I paid 10 times more than what it's now available for. This isn't new. Mark Cuban has something very similar where he has low-cost drugs. But are tangible impacts to help people.

“Trump gives us plenty to critique him on legitimately. This, to me, is not bad policy,” she insisted.

 

 

 

Pro-abortion activist and mother of multiple kids Sara Haines, who once said pro-lifers should die of cancer, was upset that the program designed to increase America’s fertility rate did not promote abortion and promoted breastfeeding on its website (Click “expand”):

And the two things that bothered me were the crisis lines you call, I think if you're going to have a site like this, there should be no judgment or messaging in it. It should be here are all your options. You can make this decision for yourself.

A lot of crisis was only anti-abortion Christian funding so it was not going to allow for someone who might have to make that tragic decision not to complete the pregnancy. There were no options for that.

And the second thing, the emphasis on breast-feeding. I breastfed my babies. I love that I was able to. That is such a shame-ridden area where women are told. It said, and if you can't breast-feed and this is how long you should, then maybe you can give them this.

Again, a website should say these are the ways you can feed your baby and no more should be placed on the shoulders of women in our society. Because too much has been done since the beginning of time.

 

 

The anti-Trump hate continued to flow with co-host Joy Behar falsely suggesting the program was only available to whites. “What gets me is this sort of this lie that they care about children. They seem to care about white children, but like when they say more Trump babies, what does that mean? Okay, I'm just asking the question,” she chided.

Behar went on to suggest America should NOT be having more kids because Trump cut foreign aid and parroted the completely fabricated lie that Trump killed 500,000 kids with 4.5 million set to die in the future:

And I would like to just remind people that this administration dismantled USAID, which helped children around the world. They cut $13 billion in foreign aid resulting in an estimated 500,000 children dying and 4.5 million children under five could die by 2030 due to largely preventable diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea, HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis.

“So don't tell us you care about children. You only care about these children that you call Trump children,” she sneered.

“But it is accessible to any American,” Farah Griffin countered Behar’s lies of the program discriminating based on race. “No. I'm looking at the overall picture of this administration, and stop BSing me, okay,” she snapped at Farah Griffin.

 

 

Chronically aggrieved Sunny Hostin was next to spout off and she, of course, played the race card. Playing into Behar’s false suggestion of racist undertones, she proclaimed Trump’s “intent can be questioned” because he didn’t specifically mention “the black maternal mortality crisis” during the Oval Office event.

“I think it's true he wants Trump babies which implies he wants American born white children,” Hostin declared, without evidence. “He wants toddler white nationalists,” Behar added, with Hostin agreeing, “That may be part of the intent.”

 

 

But even Hostin’s life experience in needing IVF to have her son and daughter was too strong for her to condemn the entire program outright. “[T]he fact that this is - that something like this is available, where you do have help with IVF, that you do have help with the drugs, the IVF drugs I think is a win,” she conceded.

She even admitted that Trump accounts were a good policy:

There's so much to criticize Donald Trump for especially his racism and his xenophobia and his misogyny, yes, but this particular -- these particular things where you have an account, a Trump account where your children can have $200,000 when they're 18 years old and the help with infertility which is also a crisis in the country, I think you call a thing a thing and I think these are good policies.

 

 

As they were getting ready to head to the commercial break, Goldberg gave herself the last word. She condemned the program again and demanded that government needed pay for everything: “I think the infertility is great and I believe it when I see people actually getting to do it but I will not give him this until he takes care of the kids from birth to 18 or to 20.”

This was the most Trump accounts had been spoken about on the show. Back in in March, Goldberg shouted down guest co-host Sara Eisen when she brought then up.

(…)

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Well listen, really want to help. If you really, really want to help, stop spending 29 billion on a war -

JOY BEHAR: Yeah.

GOLDBERG: -400 million on a ballroom and 13 million painting the reflecting pool and put that money towards child care and accessibility.

Because it's not enough to say have babies. You have to -- those babies are with you every day. You got to take care of them. You got to feed them. You got to keep them occupied. You got to put them in child care. You got to put them in school. You got to take care of them. You have to do Summers with them. You have to pay for stuff.

This idea of -- so they have 29 -- you median household income, they say, in 2024 is 83,730. The cost of child care birth is $18,000 without insurance.

Now, in 18 years when all of this comes out, this money, what is it going to be? And you need to give people money while the child is growing. You can't just hand them $18 million -- $18,000 and say go to school. You can't do that.

I mean, what do you think about this?

ALYSSA FARAH GRIFFIN: So, I actually agree with this but I'm going to preface it to say the fact he puts his name on everything is just so cringe. I set up one of these Trump accounts for my son when he was born. The government matches $1,000. And if you are were to contribute 5,000 a year, which that is the higher end you would do, that's like tax deferred. Charles Schwab says that at 18, when you’re child has access to it, it would have about 100,000 - almost $200,000 in it. So, this is similar to like a 529 account or a Roth IRA.

And then, on the fertility part of this. I've been super open with my fertility journey.

GOLDBERG: Yes.

FARAH GRIFFIN: It took me five rounds of IVF. Six figures to get pregnant. I didn't have any coverage from employers from it because I'm a contractor. This - One of my medications alone on this TrumpRX is about 10 percent of what I paid for. I paid 10 times more than what it's now available for. This isn't new. Mark Cuban has something very similar where he has low-cost drugs. But are tangible impacts to help people.

So, my thing is like, Trump gives us plenty to critique him on legitimately. This, to me, is not bad policy.

GOLDBERG: But how do you - If you don't pay for the child after the child is born, how - what do you do?

SARA HAINES: So, that's actually a point I wanted to make. Because I see all the points you're bringing up, Alyssa. Any time we can help mothers and women in this country, great.

I think the messengers are problematic because right now I don't have a ton of faith in Donald Trump and female policies and RFK Jr., don't get me started.

But I do think that the bigger problem is to help with birth does not therefore increase birth rate. The reason people aren't having babies is they can't pay their bills. They don't have healthcare. They can't pay for gas or food. They don't -

[Applause]

So they don't have the type of infrastructure so I do commend the effort, though, because this country is the wealthiest country in the world, and we have a higher mortality -- maternal morality rate than the country that comes in second which is Chile and it's 55 percent less than us. That is a problem when you have a wealthy nation and moms continue to die giving birth. I mean, this is a big problem and I think it's not addressing that problem.

The other thing that I have to say, I perused the website and there were two areas that bothered me a little. I'm all for stopping shaming women, not only shaming them that they were built to have babies and they should but how they do it.

And the two things that bothered me were the crisis lines you call, I think if you're going to have a site like this, there should be no judgment or messaging in it. It should be here are all your options. You can make this decision for yourself.

A lot of crisis was only anti-abortion Christian funding so it was not going to allow for someone who might have to make that tragic decision not to complete the pregnancy. There were no options for that.

And the second thing, the emphasis on breast-feeding. I breastfed my babies. I love that I was able to. That is such a shame-ridden area where women are told. It said, and if you can't breast-feed and this is how long you should, then maybe you can give them this.

Again, a website should say these are the ways you can feed your baby and no more should be placed on the shoulders of women in our society. Because too much has been done since the beginning of time.

That would be my criticism.

BEHAR: You know what gets me?

GOLDBERG: What gets you? We get you but what gets you.

BEHAR: What gets me is this sort of this lie that they care about children. They seem to care about white children, but like when they say more Trump babies, what does that mean? Okay, I'm just asking the question.

And I would like to just remind people that this administration dismantled USAID, which helped children around the world. They cut $13 billion in foreign aid resulting in an estimated 500,000 children dying and 4.5 million children under five could die by 2030 due to largely preventable diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea, HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis.

So don't tell us you care about children. You only care about these children that you call Trump children.

FARAH GRIFFIN: But it is accessible to any American.

BEHAR: But that - Let's look at the over --

FARAH GRIFFIN: My child is not a trump child, it's accessible to anyone who wants to apply for it.

BEHAR: No. I'm looking at the overall picture of this administration, and stop BSing me, okay? That's all.

GOLDBERG: Go ahead.

SUNNY HOSTIN: I'll just quickly say because I think everyone is making great points. I think two things can be true at the same time. I think that the intent can be questioned behind these new Trump policies. There was no acknowledgement of the black maternal mortality crisis because black women die at a up higher rate than any other demographic.

HAINES: Two times higher.

[Crosstalk]

HOSTIN: Than any other demographic. And he doesn't seem to be - this administration is not concerned about that. I think it's true he wants Trump babies which implies he wants American born white children.

BEHAR: He wants toddler white nationalists.

HOSTIN: That may be part of the intent.

But as someone who also struggled with infertility, Manny and I went through our entire life savings to have our children. There was no insurance. We were fortunate enough to have a home that his parents gave us a down payment for and we borrowed against our entire home and lost -- and our entire savings to have our two children.

And so, the fact that this is - that something like this is available, where you do have help with IVF, that you do have help with the drugs, the IVF drugs I think is a win.

There's so much to criticize Donald Trump for especially his racism and his xenophobia and his misogyny, yes, but this particular -- these particular things where you have an account, a Trump account where your children can have $200,000 when they're 18 years old and the help with infertility which is also a crisis in the country, I think you call a thing a thing and I think these are good policies.

GOLDBERG: I think the - I think the infertility is great and I believe it when I see people actually getting to do it but I will not give him this until he takes care of the kids from birth -

BEHAR: That's right.

GOLDBERG: -to 18 or to 20. I'm sorry. That's me. We'll be right back.
