Following former President-elect Donald Trump’s landslide victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, actress Bette Midler deleted her X account after making crass comments regarding Trump and the election. Before deleting her account, the Hocus Pocus actress posted a video indicating that she would celebrate a Kamala Harris victory with a bottle of champagne. On the contrary, she indicated that if Trump won, she would consume Drano.
After posting the picture with two sticky notes, one of the alcohol that read “Kamala Wins” and another on the Drano that said, “Trump Wins,” Midler ultimately deleted her account. After making the post, which seemingly joked about suicide, Midler received substantial backlash from conservative users on social media, calling out her comments and the broader sentiment from leftist celebrities.
“Sad people has so little to give when it comes to respect peoples opinion same with celebs who wants to leave. Sad they are so narrowed to literally say my way or high way as a kid throwing a tantrum its sad to see. I wish and hope that these people learn to reflect better, it would be better for the world in general,” one person said on X.
Like countless other celebrities, Midler has been known for her anti-Trump sentiment, which she has proudly voiced on the internet. Earlier this summer, she expressed her staunch disagreement with a federal court’s decision to dismiss the documents case against former President Donald Trump. Midler also lashed out when Elon Musk restored Donald Trump’s account on X in 2022 after the billionaire purchased the social media platform.
In the wake of the election, The American Tribune has reported extensively on the fallout among celebrities and the mainstream media after Trump’s decisive victory. As to be expected, the panel of liberal ladies on ABC’s “The View” was less than thrilled about the outcome of the 2024 election. Co-host Sunny Hostin claimed she was “profoundly disturbed” at the “perilous” decision the country made in selecting Trump as the 47th president.
Hostin began her monologue during a post-election segment, “I don’t know. I’m profoundly disturbed. I think if you look at the New York Times this morning, the headline was, ‘America makes a perilous choice.’ I think that in 2016 we didn’t know what we would get from a Trump administration, but we know now, and we know now that he will have almost unfettered power.”
“I worry about my children’s future, especially my daughter, who now has less rights than I have. And I remember my father telling me many, many years ago that I was the first person in his family to enjoy full civil rights, and now I have less civil rights than I had when he told me that,” she continued, without substantiating how Trump would threaten “civil rights” or any other rights for that matter.

“So again, I’m profoundly disturbed that the 14th Amendment of the Constitution did not prevent someone who participated in an insurrection from becoming president of the United States. I think that going forward, the convicted felon box unemployment applications better be taken off, because if you can be the President of the United States,” Hostin emphasized.
