For years, Donald Trump has claimed heâs unbothered by late-night jokes, celebrity criticism, or TV hosts calling him out. But this past week proved something different â two people on television have mastered the art of making him absolutely lose his mind: Jimmy Kimmel and Whoopi Goldberg.

And together, they set off a political explosion that had Trump raging on Truth Social in the middle of the night, threatening networks, and even dragging the FCC chairman into his personal vendettas.
The spark came from Whoopi Goldberg, who opened The View on December 8th by dismantling Trumpâs latest attempt to boost his ego: a bizarre, never-before-seen âFIFA Peace Prize.â Nobody knew what the award was. Nobody could confirm why it existed. But Whoopi knew exactly what it meant.
âYou havenât been the president for anybody,â she said bluntly. âHe just wants his butt kissed.â

Her co-hosts piled on. Alyssa Farah Griffin called the prize âpure cringe.â Sunny Hostin took it further, saying this entire spectacle was rooted in Trumpâs lifelong jealousy of Barack Obamaâs Nobel Peace Prize â the one thing Trump can never seem to stop obsessing over.
Then came the knockout blow.
Ana Navarro reached under the desk and pulled out fake gold medals for every host. Each one sparkled under the studio lights.

âFIFA figured out that if you bring a shiny toy to the three-year-old in the Oval Office, heâll be happy,â Navarro joked.
The audience roared.
Trump did not.
Because while Whoopi hit him with humor, Jimmy Kimmel hit him with precision.

Just four days earlier, on December 4th, Kimmel opened his show with what may be his most calculated troll move yet. Google had released its global Trending People list for 2025 â and Kimmel landed at number three. Instead of thanking fans, he thanked someone else:
âNone of this wouldâve happened without the loyal viewership of President Donald Trump.â
The delivery was perfect.
The timing was brutal.
The message was clear: Trumpâs obsession was fueling Kimmelâs success.

And Trump couldnât deny it.
Every insult, every overnight rant, every Truth Social meltdown had backfired and made Kimmel even more famous.
Behind the jokes was something more serious: Trumpâs increasingly frantic attempts to silence critics. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has already taken heat for comments that sounded suspiciously like threats against Kimmel and Goldbergâs networks â all while Trump publicly complained that comedians should be âpunishedâ for mocking him.

But Whoopi was far from finished.
Back in October 2024, Trump had used a Pennsylvania rally to launch into an unhinged tirade about her â calling her âfilthy,â âdisgusting,â and âdemented,â and claiming he once fired her from a comedy show at his casino.
The next morning, Whoopi walked onto The View wearing a grin and letting Christina Aguileraâs âDirrtyâ blast through the speakers.

âI was filthy,â she said proudly. âAnd you knew that when you hired me.â
Then she twisted the knife:
âI headlined your casino, babe. I wouldâve kept playing there â if you hadnât run it into the ground.â
She finished by staring straight into the camera and delivering the line that echoed across social media:
âHow dumb are you? You hired me four times.â
These two â Whoopi and Kimmel â arenât just mocking Trump. Theyâre exposing something deeper: a former president who cannot tolerate criticism, cannot let go of grudges, and cannot stop spiraling whenever someone punctures his ego on live television.
And Trumpâs furious responses â the tirades, the threats, the all-night posts â keep proving their point for them.
This isnât a celebrity feud anymore.
Itâs a full-blown psychological unraveling playing out in real time, and millions of viewers are watching the spectacle unfold.
