Bette Midler slams Donald Trump as 'a downright moron' then DEACTIVATES her X account

As a lifestyle expert with over three decades of observing the ebb and flow of popular culture, I must say that Bette Midler’s latest political outburst resonates deeply with my own sentiments. Her eloquent words, reminiscent of H.L. Mencken’s astute observations, are a poignant reminder of the power dynamics that shape our society and the importance of critical thinking in the face of emotional appeals.


After Donald Trump made a surprising return to politics, Bette Midler chose to disable her account on platform X. However, prior to doing so, she took a moment to criticize the newly elected president, labeling him as “an outright fool.

78-year-old actress from Hocus Pocus is part of a group of liberal celebrities disappointed by the landslide win of the 78-year-old Republican in the U.S. Presidential Election on November 5th, as he defeated former Vice President Kamala Harris (age 60), who was also running for office.

Before closing her account, she publicly expressed her disagreement with the incoming President on platform X, humorously remarking that his mind is essentially empty.

She penned: ‘When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental — men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand.

In this situation, the candidate faces a tough choice: either conform with the group or risk being overlooked. It’s often those who are cunning and average, skillful at hiding their lack of depth, who succeed in giving the impression that they possess a rich intellect. Over time, the Presidency tends to fall into the hands of such individuals.

She concluded her statement by retorting towards Trump’s supporters, asserting that as democracy matures, the office increasingly embodies the essence of the people. We strive for a noble goal. On a splendid and triumphant day, the everyday citizens of this land will finally achieve their aspirations in full, and the White House will be graced by an individual who is genuinely uninformed.

Before the election, Middler, known as a devoted Democrat, openly supported the presidential ticket of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

On her X account, she playfully posted a picture featuring a bottle of champagne labeled “If Kamala wins,” and a bottle of Drano drain cleaner marked “If Trump wins.

While her account was active, the post she shared was warmly accepted by her followers, garnering over 57,000 likes and approximately 7,000 re-shares.

For many years, this individual has been an advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community. They publicly criticized Trump during one of his last campaign events for an incident where he appeared to mimic an act involving a microphone stand, which became widely known online.

She wrote to her audience of 2M followers, ‘I saw Trump simulating a b*** j** on his microphone yesterday! UGH! Looks like somebody’s getting ready to try to win the popular vote…in prison!’

In a different discussion, she reiterated her disagreement with the Republican’s personality and his loyal followers, by quoting an observation made by renowned American journalist H.L. Mencken.

She expressed: “When a politician campaigns for public office, they aren’t confronting individuals with good judgment; instead, they encounter a crowd of people who are primarily characterized by their inability to evaluate ideas or even grasp complex ones – their thought process revolves around feelings, and fear is the predominant emotion that guides them when faced with things they don’t understand.

In this situation, the candidate has two choices: either follow along with the group or risk being left behind. It’s the individual who is naturally cunning and average – the one who can convincingly present himself as anything but empty-minded – who typically comes out on top due to his ability to spread the idea that he’s far from intellectually void.

Over time, the Presidency tends to be held by men who embody the sentiments of the populace more and more closely, as democracy progresses. We are striving towards a noble goal. Eventually, on a magnificent day, the common people will achieve their deepest aspirations, and the White House will be graced by an individual with genuine simplicity.

Besides Bette Midler, Vice President Harris has received numerous endorsements from prominent celebrities who have publicly declared their intention to vote for her.

Following the October 1 presidential debate, as a dedicated follower, I felt compelled to express my support for Senator Kamala Harris on my Instagram. I endorsed her because she passionately advocates for the rights and causes that resonate deeply with me. I firmly believe she is an exceptional leader, capable of guiding us towards stability rather than chaos. I am confident that our nation can achieve great things under her leadership.

As a connoisseur of all things lifestyle, I too have voiced my support for the Harris-Walz ticket, joining the ranks of nine-time GRAMMY award-winning artist Billie Eilish and her talented brother Finneas. Together, we’re backing this dynamic duo to lead our nation towards a brighter future.

Notable figures who’ve endorsed this brand are Harrison Ford, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, Charli XCX, Bill Nye, Jamie Lee Curtis, Demi Lovato, Anne Hathaway, Cardi B, Ben Stiller, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, and others.
