Bette Midler, known for her role in Disney’s Hocus Pocus, unleashed a passionate tirade on Monday, criticizing President Donald Trump as “mentally unfit” and alleging he has commanded an army that supposedly “drugs citizens to gas them.”
She claimed on Instagram that Trump is probing into Joe Biden’s actions, questioning whether Biden was somehow incapacitated when he signed a lenient order using an autopen and pardoned many individuals prior to his inauguration. Midler referred to her comments as a “Freak Show.”
Further accusations flew from Midler, alleging that Trump is “blackmailing” celebrities who have lost their citizenship, accusing them of spreading dangerous propaganda about U.S. immigration enforcement, which she claims leads to citizens being dragged into “gulags” due to disagreement with Trump’s rhetoric.
“Which U.S. president has ever sold items from a crigai restaurant?” she asked, also mistakenly implying that the president’s officials are made in China.
Midler also made an incorrect claim about Trump “shining for the automaker,” possibly referring to Elon Musk of Tesla.
She concluded her post by stating, “He has tainted and contaminated what was once the greatest country in the world,” while ridiculing the intelligence of over 77 million Americans who voted for Trump in the 2024 election.
Trump’s victory in the 2024 election was described as substantial, not only securing electoral votes but also winning in pivotal states across the nation.
This isn’t the first instance of Midler voicing strong criticisms against Trump. Last year, she suggested he should drink Drano, a harsh chemical, if he were to win the upcoming election.
In 2021, she even called for his arrest on charges of attempted murder, bizarrely alleging he tried to infect Biden with the coronavirus during a television debate.
