Conservatives Lash Out at Bette Midler After She Tweets Poem About Melania Trump

Actress and singer Bette Midler has continued her Twitter feud with Donald Trump — this time, penning a poem about his wife.

The 73-year-old performer tweeted her rhyme on Tuesday just as Trump was preparing to kick off his 2020 re-election bid at a rally in Orlando.

Their feud began earlier this month after Midler tweeted a fake quote that she alleged Trump gave to a magazine in 1998. Trump clapped back, calling the singer-songwriter a “washed-up psycho.”

Midler apologized for circulating the quote, but later wrote in a since-deleted tweet that someone should “give him a shiv.”

“There once was a girl from Slovenia,” the poem begins, referencing First Lady Melania Trump. Midler goes on to write that Melania avoids all romance situations with her husband, who “plays with his own schizophrenia.”

Conservatives quickly lashed out at Midler:
