Just in case you are not up to speed with queer history, we should remind you that actress and singer Bette Midler …. The Diving Miss M…. has been a staunch ally of our community since she kicked off her career performing in a gay bathhouse in the early 70s – something she’s still proud of. Ever since she has used her platform to speak out for gay rights.
Now she has made a video with the news site THE MEiDAS TOUCH on a satirical advertisement for a Donald Trump-themed perfume that makes you “smell just like a big fat loser. You can reek like a repulsive fool.”
Miss M sings “With a hint of sexual abuses and toxic notes of universal ridicule. If you like a fragrance that’s psychotic, infused with rage and defamation too, a litany of liks so pathologic, Eau du Trump is certainly the stench for you.” The video then lists a tongue-in-cheek series of potential side effects, including stupidity, incessant whining, deceit, disgrace, treason, and comb overs.
We love the act that Trum has always been threatened by Miss M. In 2019, Trump called her a “washed up psycho” in a Twitter feud. Midler posted a meme with a fake quote attributed to Trump, where he insults Republicans by saying, “They’re the dumbest group of voters in the country…. I could lie and they’d still eat it up.” Trump never actually said that, but the meme has been appearing on social media since 2015.
Midler apologized after posting it: “I apologize; this quote turns out to be a fake from way back in ‘15-16. Don’t know how I missed it, but it sounds SO much like him that I believed it was true!” Trump, always a real gentlemen, responded by calling Midler both a “washed up psycho” and “a sick scammer.”
