Madonna shared her reaction on her Instagram Stories after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election.
On her Story, the pop diva posted a photo of a yellow and orange cake with “F–Trump” written on it, surrounded by cherries. “I shoved this cake in my face last night,” she wrote in the caption of the photo.
On a more serious note, Madonna followed up the cake photo with another selfie, writing: “Trying to make me understand why a convicted felon, rapist, bigot was chosen to lead our country because he Good for the economy?
She also shared a post on her feed, writing in the caption: “I woke up this morning and the first thought in my head was – America hates women! – not that I’ve always felt that Misogynistic rage crawled up my neck.
The star continued, “They straight up hate freedom. They want lower taxes, but they don’t mind if they live in a totalitarian government to get those taxes. I don’t want to give up on our democracy! Now we all have to fight harder to hold on.” Go down. Americans who voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all showed that many agreed with a dictatorship taking over. I don’t want my daughters and all of their friends to live in internment camps. Have agency over their bodies! Not like second class citizens. How can women vote for Trump? We have fought for so long and done so much!
She concluded by stating that she “will not give up hope.” See her full message here.
Ahead of the election, Madonna endorsed Kamala Harris and posted a series of photos from her recent trip to Paris. “Paris was so much fun! 🇫🇷. It was hard to leave but I did it. Going home to vote 🇺🇸🇺🇸,” she wrote in the caption. “@kamalaharris for. The President!!!! ♥️”
The “Express Yourself” singer previously expressed support for Harris in 2020, when she was a vice presidential candidate running against Joe Biden. “Camilla [sic] She is a smart, compassionate, and articulate leader who stands for justice and equal rights for all people,” she wrote at the time.
In the early hours of Wednesday (November 6), Harris recognized her election after Trump won 295 Electoral College votes. Four years after leaving Washington as the 45th president, Trump also became the 47th president after attempts to overturn the 2020 election, two assassination attempts, two presidential impeachments and a criminal conviction.
