After Donald Trump’s election victory in November, not only the political opponent, the democratic party, fell into a kind of shock rigid. The “pop opposition” from Billie Eilish to Neil Young also seems to run over the pace at which the Trump administration turns the United States.
At least Madonna maintains it.
In the dispute over the New York “City-Maut” (as it also exists in London or Stockholm), she leaves Donald Trump against a striking quote. And reminds of the history of the United States.
“If that is supposed to be a joke, I won’t laugh”
“We just have a president who describes himself as our king,” wrote the Queen of Pop in its social channels. “If that is supposed to be a joke, I won’t laugh.”
The process refers to a post by the official X-Accounts of the White House on Wednesday (February 19). The title of the article shows a assembled fantasy cover of the “Time” magazine. It was equipped with the name Trump and the scene “Long live the king”. The look shows a sardonically grinning president who carries a crown on his head. A mix of gag and megalomania.
The Royale contribution was published after the government had instructed the authorities of New York to abolish the recently introduced city toll for the inner districts. The corresponding Trump quote was: “The city toll (Congestion Pricing) is dead. Manhattan, and all of New York, is saved. Long Live the King! “
Apart from the consequences of traffic policy, critics against Trump’s monarch fantasy, and referred to the founding history of the United States. Madonna had also apparently paid attention to history lessons.
Already at the beginning of Trump’s first presidency in 2017, Madonna spoke on the “Women’s March on Washington” at over 500,000 demonstrators
“I thought this country was once founded by Europeans who escaped life under the rule of a king. They created a new world ruled by the people, ”she wrote. “At the moment we have a president who describes himself as our king. If that is supposed to be a joke, then I don’t laugh. “
Already at the beginning of Trump’s first presidency in 2017, Madonna spoke to over 500,000 demonstrators on the “Women’s March on Washington”. In doing so, she pulled fully from the leather, including some of the strength expressions that were surprisingly sent uncensored to C-span, CNN and MSNBC.
“It is so sad to see how our new government is slowly reducing all the freedom”
“Welcome to the revolution of love, to the rebellion, to our refusal to accept this new age of tyranny, in which not only women are in danger, but all the excluded people in which the unique difference at this moment really regarded as a crime could become, ”she told the assembled masses. “It took this terrible moment of darkness to shake us up.”
Even then she wrote “It is so sad to see how our new government is slowly building all the freedom for which we have fought and won over the years”, equipped with a “pride” flag and an emoji with a broken heart.
Your “Don’t give up the fight!” From back then, eight years later, drastic topicality gained again.
