World-renowned pop superstar Madonna has reminded the world of exactly what she thinks about Donald J. Trump, after the sitting US president publicly referred to himself as “the King.”
In a recent public social media post, Donald Trump declared “LONG LIVE THE KING” as his sign-off message, following his announcement that he had officially killed a New York that would charge a $9 peak congestion charge for cars coming into the majority of busy Manhattan.
That disturbing message was then re-posted by the official White House account, complete with a deeply disturbing illustration that featured Donald Trump wearing a diamond-encrusted king’s crown on a mock-up of a Time Magazine cover.
“CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!”

Madonna, widely known the world round as the “Queen of Pop,” was having no part of that mess.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter,) the infamous pop star responded to the president’s horrifying “king” message, writing, “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.”
“Currently we have a president who calls Himself Our King. If this is a joke, I’m not laughing,” the 66-year-old singer added.

This is far from the first time Madonna has gone toe-to-toe with Donald Trump and made her disdain for the man more than clear to the public.
In fact, during Donald’s first presidential term, she personally participated in a demonstration along with countless other Trump critics following his inauguration.
She has also repeatedly used her platform and voice to highlight this administration’s incessant and disgusting attacks against the LGBTQIA+ community.
Unfortunately, this is also far from the first time Trump has attempted to refer to himself as American royalty, despite this country’s foundation of democracy.
During his inaugural address last month, Trump told the world that he was “saved by God to make America great again,” referencing the infamous assassination attempt against him last year.
