Whoopi Goldberg addressed Donald Trump after the U.S. president received the bodies of six soldiers who died in Iranian attacks on an American base in Kuwait.
In Monday’s episode (9), the host reacted to the repercussions of the conflict between the United States and Israel against Iran.
She commented on images of Trump wearing a white cap with the word “USA” written in gold while participating in the transfer of the bodies at Dover Air Force Base.
“That really bothered me, and maybe I’m being too picky. When those coffins came out of that plane? Take that damn hat off. Take that damn hat off,” said Whoopi Goldberg.
“I don’t understand why nobody pulled on his coat and said: ‘Sir, just out of respect?’” she continued.
Sunny Hostin, Goldberg’s co-host, cited a time when Barack Obama held a salute for 45 minutes, “without a cap,” for soldiers who died while serving in the U.S. Army.
“It was a very solemn moment. It wasn’t about him, it was about the loss of our soldiers who gave their lives for this country,” Hostin recalled.
Whoopi Goldberg also criticized Trump’s military actions and the possibility of U.S. troops engaging in a ground offensive.

“His children aren’t going. I don’t want anyone’s son or daughter to go, because this isn’t what we should be doing,” she said.
