Donald Trump and Bette Midler Are Feuding, but the Actress Managed to Perfectly Shut Him Down

Even meeting the British Royals isn’t going to keep President Trump from his late-night Twitter habits. Indeed, last night Trump stayed up late to enter into a Twitter feud with Bette Midler.
While
he was in London to meet with Queen Elizabeth II, Trump went onto
Twitter at 1:30 a.m. local time to call out Midler, who had recently
shared a meme about Trump that the president did not like. A couple of
days ago, Midler apologized for tweeting an old photo of Trump with the
quote “If I were to run, I’d run as a Republican. They’re the dumbest
group of voters in the country. They love anything on Fox News. I could
lie and they’d still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific.” She
added her own caption to the post: “He certainly knew his crowd.”
But
anyone who spent much time on Twitter during the 2016 election cycle
might be aware that Trump never said those words—at least publicly. So
Midler responsibly announced to her followers that it was fake news,
sharing a link to a fact-checking website and writing, “I apologize;
this quote turns out to be a fake from way back in ‘15-16. Don’t know
how I missed it, but it sounds SO much like him that I believed it was
true!”
Apparently
that apology didn’t sit well with the president, because shortly after
she issued it Trump resorted to name-calling. “Washed up psycho
@BetteMidler was forced to apologize for a statement she attributed to
me that turned out to be totally fabricated by her in order to make
‘your great president’ look really bad,” he wrote. “She got caught, just
like the Fake News Media gets caught. A sick scammer!”
This
isn’t the first time Trump has come for Midler on Twitter. Back in
2012, he tweeted, “While @BetteMidler is an extremely unattractive
woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically
correct.” Plus, in 2014, he took aim at Midler’s performance of “Wind
Beneath My Wings” for the Oscars ”In Memoriam,” tweeting that it “sucked.”
But
Midler had the final word. After Trump’s latest attack, she delivered
the perfect mic drop, writing, “I want to thank everyone who came to my
defense last night during my personal Battle of the Bulge with he who
must not be named. Your wit and good nature really lifted my spirits;
as a newly washed up psycho, I am very grateful for your thoughts and
prayers.”
