On President’s Day, Whoopi Goldberg delivered an impassioned salute to America’s first black president, Barack Obama, using the opportunity to remind Trump and his supporters “what a president does.”

During a Black History Month segment on The View, Goldberg paid homage to the recently outgoing commander-in-chief by bragging about his presidential accomplishments.

“We are saluting the President of the United States, Barack Obama. For all of those who continue to question his track record, here are few of his accomplishments,” Goldberg said before doing a run down on an abbreviated list of Obama’s achievements while in office:

He brought the country back from the brink of financial disaster after big banks caused the economy to collapse. He saved over a million jobs by bailing out the American auto industry. He gave healthcare to over 30 million Americans with the Affordable Care Act. He ended the war in Iraq and ordered the raid that killed terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden. In his second term, he fought to make same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states. He issued wide ranging executive actions on climate change, immigration and initiating sanctions against Russia for the atrocities in the Ukraine. So if you want to know what a president know what a president does…that’s what a president does!
