The buzz around Joe Biden’s exit from the presidential race has stirred up a fresh round of commentary, this time from Hollywood legend Bette Midler.
Midler, known for her outspoken views, especially on former President Donald Trump, took to social media to share her thoughts on Trump’s recent criticisms of Biden. In a tweet, Midler used Trump’s comment about Biden being “the worst president in U.S. history” as a springboard to criticize Trump’s behavior. She described Trump’s remarks as just another “kick with his hobnailed boot,” using a metaphor to suggest that Trump is unfairly attacking Biden as he leaves the race.
Rather than focusing on the incoming Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, Midler sarcastically noted Trump’s “ever gracious” demeanor and implied that his accusations are often self-incriminating. She ended her tweet with a colorful insult, calling Trump a “schmuck,” which added a touch of her trademark humor and disdain.
Midler’s critique aligns with her recent anti-Trump stance. This year alone, she’s taken jabs at Trump for various comments and actions, celebrated Kamala Harris’s potential rise, and shared memes and criticisms related to Trump’s presidency and legal troubles.
Midler isn’t alone in reacting to Biden’s departure. Other celebrities like George Takei from *Star Trek*, Mark Hamill from *Star Wars*, and Barbra Streisand from *A Star Is Born* have also weighed in, generally supporting Biden’s term and criticizing his opponents.
With such a lineup of star power and Midler’s penchant for dramatic flair, fans are hoping for a favorable outcome in the upcoming election, with hopes that Kamala Harris will step into the White House and turn the page on the tumultuous Trump era.
