Government is Dismantling All the Freedoms We Have Been Fighting for, Madonna Says

Madonna is criticizing the Donald Trump administration for issuing a series of anti-trans executive orders, including one prohibiting transgender people from serving or enlisting in the military and another prohibiting federal funding for youth gender-affirming care.

“It’s so sad to see our new government slowly dismantling all the freedoms we’ve fought for and won over the years,” she wrote on Tuesday (Jan. 28), accompanied by a selfie on X. While she did not specify which freedoms she was referring to, she did include broken heart and Pride flag emojis in her post. “Don’t give up the Fight!”

Madonna has been open about her disapproval of Trump over the years. Following the November election, she took to Instagram Stories to post a photo of a yellow and orange cake with “F— Trump” written across the top, surrounded by cherries. “Stuffed my face with this cake last night,” she captioned the photo.

She posted a selfie alongside the cake, writing, “Trying to get my head around why a convicted felon, rapist, and bigot was chosen to lead our country because he’s good for the economy?”

The star also shared a post on her feed, writing in the caption, “I woke up this morning and the first thing that came to my mind was-America hates women! – Not that I haven’t always felt the wrath of misogyny on my neck.”

She continued, “They straight up hate Freedom. They want lower taxes, but they don’t mind if they live in a Totalitarian government to get them. I don’t want to let go of our democracy!! Now we will all have to fight even harder to hang onto it. Americans who voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all- showed that many people are OK with a dictatorship to take over . I don’t want my friends that are not naturally born Americans to live in internment camps.!! I want my daughters and all of their friends to have agency over their bodies!! To feel valued. Not like second-class.citizens. How could women vote for Trump? We fought for so long for so much!”
