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.”
There once was a girl from Slovenia
Who now lives right on Pennsylvinia
To the East Room she’ll flee
From her husband’s wee wee
While he plays with his own schizophrenia— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) June 18, 2019
Conservatives quickly lashed out at Midler:
Sounds like your jealous ?
Don't worry I hear there is a new skin cream that can make you look 80 again 👍— JESSE JAMES (@1bigbeer) June 18, 2019

Time to turn in my Bette Midler fan card. Looks like she’s headed down the same road as Jim Carrey🙄 #sadness

There once was a frumpy old “singer”,
Whose festering hate was left winger,
She hates our winning POTUS,
She’s jealous of our lovely FLOTUS,
Her final years in her hate she will linger— Auntie J (@pancakeorama) June 21, 2019
@BetteMidler hasn't seen a wee wee in years. Wishful thinking. Although I don't think anyone would want to show her. https://t.co/RSdp1Dj1L2
