The war of tweets between Bette Midler and Donald Trump has deepened to a point where the former went as far as to exhort someone ought to give the latter "a shiv," in a joking manner. And now she has even dragged the First Lady Melania into the picture by tweeting a poem obviously referencing Donald's wife.
The poem was the singer's response to a tweet that the President had posted on social media which referred to the comedian as a "washed-up psycho." In the aforementioned poem, she pointed to a "girl" who was "from Slovenia" and now resided on "Pennsylvania."
The rhyme continued with saying that "she'll flee" and take refuge in the "East Room" to try and avoid any intimacy with her husband who, it says, "plays" with some mental issues, "schizophrenia."
As expected, the short rhyme had impressed the president's detractors but enraged his supporters. The online repartee between the 73-year-old star and Trump is nothing new, as they have been at it for some time.
The inclusion of Melania in this exchange was meant to give a sharp dig at the President of the United States, although he had only been reacting to an earlier post of hers. That one had quoted him as having said that, were he to run then (for office), he would do so as a "Republican," because, accordingly, they represented the "dumbest group" of "voters" out there.
She had later given an apology for having shared that post she had attributed to Trump, after her social media followers signified the quote was a fake one. Even then, she did not let go without giving another dig by saying she could not imagine how she could have "missed" identifying the aforesaid as fake, since the inaccurate quote, according to her, sounded very closely like Trump. That's why she had "believed" it to be "true."
To this, the President got back at Midler, saying she was a "sick scammer" who had gotten "caught," same as those proponents of fake news.
Still on the warpath though, Midler would not be stopped and proceeded to tweet that message which gave the suggestion someone "shiv" Trump, a tweet she then later deleted after receiving some backlash for it.
This recent spate of commotion between Midler and Trump that had yanked the First Lady into the middle of it came as the President had geared up for his 2020 bid for re-election at a MAGA rally in Orlando, Florida.
