Bette Midler: From Satirizing Trump to Sparking Controversy

貝蒂·米德勒，這位演員兼歌手在2017年托尼獎頒獎典禮上，身著Michael Kors系列亮相，展現了她無與倫比的風采。然而，米德勒不僅以其在舞台上的表現而聞名，她在政治和社會議題上的發言也同樣引人注目。

In recent years, the feud between Midler and Donald Trump has become a media sensation. She created a satirical ad mocking Trump's themed perfume through a partnership with the news site, Touched by Midas. In the ad, Midler mocked in song, "You smell like a diet king." Not only is this a satire on Trump's image, but it also reflects Midler's dissatisfaction with the current political climate.

However, some of Midler's comments have also sparked controversy; in 2019, she tweeted an emoji quoting Trump's false statement, then apologized after the statement was proven false. Trump responded by calling Midler a "brainwashed lunatic" and a "pathological liar," and the social media feud drew widespread public attention.

Even more concerning, in 2022, Midler made an anti-transgender statement on social media, claiming that recognizing the humanity of transgender people would "erase" women. This statement sparked a huge controversy, with many criticizing her for her narrow viewpoint and pointing out the harm it could cause to the transgender community. Midler was a staunch supporter of gay rights, even performing in gay bathrooms in the early 1970s, so her stance disappointed many of her supporters.

Bette Midler's career has been filled with brilliant accomplishments, but her speeches on social issues also demonstrate the challenges she faces as a public figure. From satirizing political figures to provoking controversial social views, Midler's statements have sparked public dialogue and reflect how easily public figures' statements can become the focus of controversy in today's society.
