Unlike other celebrities out there, Lady Gaga does not think Melania Trump is a brainless b-tch.
At least not in so many words.
But the musical superstar isn’t a big fan of the aspiring First Lady, explaining why in a pointed Tweet over the weekend.
Gaga felt a need to speak out after Trump gave a speech late last week in which she came down hard on the issue of cyber-bullying.
Melania said this would be a major focus of hers as First Lady, if the Apocalypse really did befall humanity and her husband was elected to the Oval Office.
Thats a wonderful cause, of course, but Gaga said on social media what many of us were thinking:
How can Melania Trump claim to care about bullying? Has she ever listened to her husband speak or read his Twitter account?!?
“To say u will stand for ‘anti-bullying’ is hypocrisy,” wrote Gaga. “Your husband is 1 of the most notorious bullies we have ever witnessed.”
It’s true.
And Gaga has established the non-profit Born This Way Foundation, which is aimed at combating online bullying and promoting mental health awareness.
She speaks from a background of someone familiar with this problem and as someone trying to do something about it.
Said Melania in the speech in question:
“Like anything that is powerful, [social media] can have a bad side. Children and teenagers can be fragile. They’re hurt when they’re made fun of or made to feel less in looks or intelligence.
“This makes their life hard and can force them to hide and retreat. Our culture has gotten too mean and too rough, especially to children and teenagers. It is never ok when a 12-year-old girl or boy is mocked, bullied, or attacked…
“We have to find a better way to talk to each other, to disagree with each other, to respect each other.”
Yes, for sure. Absolutely.
Melania just might want to see what Donald Trump has said over the past several months about Muslims, immigrants and women before taking up the topic of bullying.
Or at least before taking it up with anyone outside of her own bedroom.
Poor Melania has been the subject of much ridicule during this Presidential campaign.
She plagiarized large portions of her Republican National Convention speech from Michelle Obama and then she ridiculously blamed Billy Bush for egging her husband on during the infamous Access Hollywood video from 2005.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga also slammed the Republican candidate on a television show in Japan last week, where she spent several days promoting her latest studio album, Joanne.
“The truth is that, as an insider, because I am a celebrity, I have insight into the type of person that Donald Trump is,” she said.
“The truth is that we celebrities know that he is an actor, and that this is an act. So, we are standing with Hillary [Clinton] not just because she is far superior as the choice for president, but we are also standing with her because it would be a complete disaster to elect someone that is essentially a political impostor.”
Gaga has even changed the name on her Twitter handle to “#VoteHillary.”
We’ll find out on Tuesday night whether a majority of people in the nation follow this hashtag.
