“A convicted, fanatical rapist has been selected”

Madonna is the latest high-profile artist to voice her disapproval after Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris in the presidential election, taking to social media to express her anger and confusion over the results.

“I'm trying to understand why a convicted felon, rapist and bigot was elected to lead our country because he's good for the economy?” Madonna said in an Instagram Story on Thursday. She also posted a picture of a cake with the words “Fuck Trump” written on it, adding: “I stuffed this cake in my face last night!”

Many other artists shared their disappointment over the last two days. Billie Eilish said on social media that Trump's election represents “a war on women,” and went on to tell a crowd during a concert last night that “someone who hates women so much is about to be president of the United States.” to become States of America.”

Sabrina Carpenter, who helped register thousands of voters through activations with her Short and sweet Tour also tried to comfort fans during their concert Wednesday night in Seattle. “I’m sorry for our country and for the women here,” she said. “I love you so, so, so, so much and I really hope you enjoy the rest of this night because you absolutely deserve it.”

Jack White, who sued Trump in September over his unauthorized use of the Seven Nation Army, was scathing about Trump's victory, citing concerns about Project 2025, curbs on LGBT rights and promotion of climate change, among other things.

“It is absolutely astounding that this fraudster was able to dupe so many Americans not once, but twice,” he said.

Harris gave her concession speech at Howard University on Wednesday, telling the crowd: “Sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn't mean we won't win.” The vice president urged: “The result of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me if I say: The light of America’s promise will always burn bright.”
