Whoopi Goldberg Laughs at Donald Trump's Library Plans

Whoopi Goldberg thought Donald Trump's proposed library looked like 'a giant p----.'
"Look, there's so much crazy stuff going on. The fact that... did you see the rendition of the library that he's building?" the TV star asked as she began to laugh.
"It's a giant... it looks like a giant p----," she confessed, sparking laughter from the audience. "It's just this giant thing."
"Oh, let me see that," quipped Joy Behar of the rendition.
'He Can't Read'

Joy Behar joked about the irony of the president's library, quipping, 'he can't read.'
"It's ironic, because he can't read as it is," Behar joked. "This big library!"

"It's like, where are you putting that? And why are you building a bunker under the White House?" she asked, referring to new reports. "The White House doesn't belong [to you]. It's not your building. You don't own the building! You can't just put stuff there. It's not your house!"

Donald Trump unveiled plans to build a presidential library in Miami, Florida.
Sunny Hostin also dissed the building's appearance and doubted the POTUS' intentions.
"His rendition of the library was fascinating to me, because first of all, it has of course the gold entrance, because he thinks gold is regal and looks appropriate. He puts his name on everything. He also has this huge gold statue of himself..." she noted.
"And I compared it immediately to President [Barack] Obama's presidential center, not a library, that I think should be the standard for what a presidential library does," she shared. "He's not even calling it a library, he's calling it the presidential center because he says it's a living civic center to teach people about civics."

Eric Trump shared an AI video of his dad's plans.
She went on to say that Obama's Chicago, Ill., center will have a fully digital library for kids, sports courts, community spaces and more.
"So I think the stark contrast is interesting, because President Trump will never be the type of president [that] President Obama was," the prosecutor said, prompting applause from the live audience. "And he lives rent-free in [Trump's] mind. That stark difference, I think, says it all."

'The View' co-hosts also slammed the president for renovating the White House since it's not his personal property.
"This is probably a malignant narcissist who only thinks about himself and wants to stamp his name on everything as opposed to doing something for the people," Hostin concluded.
Goldberg circled back to the fact that Trump keeps making changes to the White House even though he doesn't own it.
"I can't say it enough. It is not his house. It is owned by the federal government, making it public property," the actress emphasized. "It's not personal property of the sitting president. This is not his... This is publicly property. If I went out and destroyed public property, they would put me in jail!"
