Madonna, the legendary pop singer, has once more voiced her sharp criticism of Donald Trump, accusing him of aspiring to rule like a monarch. In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), she expressed her dissatisfaction with the current U.S. president, who was controversially depicted as a king on his social media platform, Truth. This portrayal, which was shared by the White House, sparked significant debate.
“I believed this nation was founded by Europeans fleeing the rule of a king, establishing a new world governed by the people. Now, we have a president who refers to himself as our king. If this is a joke, I'm not laughing,” Madonna stated on her official X account.
The Pop Queen's criticisms of Trump are nothing new. Back in 2017, after the business mogul took office, Madonna emerged as one of his staunchest opponents, even going so far as to claim she had considered "blowing up the White House" as a form of protest. Those remarks triggered a strong backlash, including from Trump himself, who labeled her as “disgusting.”
Throughout the years, Madonna has frequently expressed her disdain for the Republican leader. In 2018, she hinted that relocating her family to Portugal was partly motivated by a desire to escape the political climate in the U.S. under Trump's administration.
Trump, known for his combative responses to critics, has had public run-ins with numerous entertainment figures. Over recent years, celebrities like Taylor Swift and Barbra Streisand have also openly voiced their disapproval of Trump.
Meanwhile, Madonna remains one of the most influential artists and an outspoken figure in American politics, unafraid to speak out against those she perceives as threats to democracy.
