Madonna is calling out Donald Trump once again after the current President of the United States called himself a king.
The “Hung Up” singer took to social media to comment on Trump’s Truth Social post, in which he likened himself to a king.
“CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED,” he wrote. “LONG LIVE THE KING!”
The White House’s social media team took it further and shared Trump’s quote on Instagram. In addition to the quote in the caption, Trump’s team shared an image that channeled a Time magazine cover with the POTUS wearing a crown.
“Long live the thing,” read the fake illustration of the fake magazine cover.
Madonna, who has been vocal in calling out Trump, shared a message on X, the microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter, to express she didn’t find any of this humorous.
“I thought this country was built by Europeans, escaping living under the rule of a King, to establish a New World governed by the people,” she posted on X. “Currently, we have a president who calls Himself. Our King.”
She continued, “If this is a joke, I’m not laughing.”
Madonna had recently spoken out against Trump for his anti-LGBTQ+ agenda since taking office earlier this year.
“It’s so sad to watch our new Government slowly dismantling all the Freedoms we have been fighting for and WON over the years. Don’t give up the Fight!” Madonna wrote on X.
Madonna’s message comes after the divisive Trump signed an executive order titled “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness that restricts transgender military service. The order reinstates a policy from Trump’s first term that Joe Biden rescinded in 2021, which allowed trans people to enlist in the military and serve openly.
When Donald Trump returned to the White House, his Inauguration speech was plagued by anti-trans rhetoric, saying it would be “official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.” Trump would later make it official by signing an executive order that recognizes only two genders.
