In this episode of "Just When You Thought 'The View' Couldn't Get More Idiotic"...
So as we all know, the lady geniuses of ABC's "The View" are not exactly fans of President Donald Trump. Nope, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, and various other co-hosts have called Trump everything from a white supremacist to a racist to homophobic, transphobic, and God knows what else.
Yet, on Wednesday's episode of the ridiculous Trump-bashing show, Sunny took home the trophy for taking the show's anti-Trump schtick to a new low. Her winning entry:
The president of the United States is committing "crimes against humanity." Who knew?
Whoopi took home the booby prize for adding that Trump is also "starving kids."
In other words, it was mostly just another example of the ravages of late-stage Trump Derangement Syndrome on the human brain — and, damn, it was ROFL hilarious in its caustic brainlessness.
At issue for the ladies was a report that the U.S. is set to incinerate roughly 500 metric tons of U.S. taxpayer-funded food meant for starving people around the world. According to a former USAID official, the high-energy, nutrient-dense biscuits have been sitting in a warehouse in Dubai for months. Now, because they expire this month, they will be destroyed.
So how on earth did Sunny concoct the dots to absurdly connect the above process to Donald Trump committing crimes against humanity? I'm glad you asked.

In a silly attempt to mock Trump supporters' obsession with the "Epstein files," Whoopi kicked off the festivities:
The demand for answers on Epstein was supposed to be in the name of protecting children. Okay. So, this investigation from The Atlantic should enrage them as well. They are reporting that the administration is set to incinerate 500 metric tons of food that was supposed to be sent overseas.
That's enough to feed 1.5 million starving children.
Now, you should ask yourself why? Was cruelty the point? Was Elon just trying to, you know, skinny up the government or were they just being bastards?
Cartoonish, Whoopi, please.
Assuming Goldberg is a math genius — just as she's a genius on everything else about which she spews bitter bilge — let's just go with the 1.5 million number, for argument's sake and move on. That is, other than to point out that the process of handling expired emergency food aid wasn't implemented by Trump.
Behar blathered, in response to Goldberg: “They’re just being mean. They’re mean.”
Right, Joy — calm down.
Then came Hostin's winner:
They have to destroy this food because they've gutted U.S. aid and so they have no system of disseminating food to children. I don't think that this is something that voters voted for.
[...]
Just burning it.
[...]
It feels criminal. This feels criminal. It’s like a crime against humanity.
"It is criminal," Whoopi sneered.
After a bit more acerbic back and forth, this final beauty from Sunny: "Food is a human right. Healthcare is a human right."
Hmmm. Is Sunny's claim true? Is food a human right? Or, healthcare?
Food as a "human right."
The right to food, which can also be characterized as a right to culturally appropriate nutrition that a person needs to live a healthy and active life, is recognized in the UN’s 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is enshrined in the 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. However, it has not historically been a mainstream concept in the U.S.
In 2021, the US and Israel were the only countries to vote against a United Nations committee’s draft that asserted food as a human right. The draft also expressed alarm that the number of people lacking access to adequate food rose by 320 million to 2.4 billion in 2020 – nearly one-third of the world’s population. The US said the resolution contained “many unbalanced, inaccurate, and unwise provisions the United States cannot support.”
The larger issue, here, in my view, is regardless of one's view of whether or not food is a human right, it's not the responsible of U.S. taxpayers to fund food for nearly one-third of the world's population. If that sounds cold — it's not meant to — so be it.
Healthcare as a "human right."
While some countries or organizations might view healthcare as an individual human right, and a result, provide a government (taxpayer) entitlement, others disagree. Recognizing regular medical care as a "right" would force an obligation on physicians and others in the medical field to provide services that may not be paid for — or paid for at a fraction of the cost they might otherwise earn.
Anyway, apologies to Sunny for raining all over her ridiculous parade.
