Bette Midler Deactivates X Account After Trump Victory

Bette Midler has deactivated her X account following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election, a result that she vehemently opposed. On Election Day, she posted a satirical image showing a bottle of Drano labeled 'Trump wins' alongside a champagne bottle marked 'Kamala wins,' suggesting she would drink the toxic cleaner if Trump emerged victorious. Midler, a long-time critic of Trump, expressed her dismay through a quote from H.L. Mencken, condemning the emotional reasoning of voters and labeling Trump a 'downright moron'. After her account was deleted, reactions from Trump supporters included mocking comments about her posts. Midler has been vocal in her opposition to Trump and his policies over the years, often engaging with him directly on social media. Her departure from X marks another chapter in her public battle against the former president and his supporters.
