Madonna Slams Trump’s 2024 Victory, Declares ‘America Hates Women’ on Instagram
4 min readThe 2024 U.S. presidential election has stirred emotions across the nation, and pop icon Madonna is no exception. Following Donald Trump’s controversial win, the Queen of Pop took to Instagram to express her outrage, posting a series of bold and politically charged messages aimed at the newly re-elected president and the state of American politics.
Madonna’s Instagram Outburst
On her Instagram Stories, Madonna shared a striking image of a yellow and orange cake adorned with the words “F— Trump” written in icing, surrounded by cherries. The singer captioned the post, “Stuffed my face with this cake last night,” making it clear that she was using humor to cope with her frustration.

However, the mood quickly turned serious in her subsequent posts. The 65-year-old artist shared a selfie with a somber caption that read, “Trying to get my head around why a convicted felon, rapist, bigot was chosen to lead our country because he’s good for the economy?” This statement reflects Madonna’s disbelief over Trump’s victory, given his criminal convictions and divisive rhetoric.
“America Hates Women” – Madonna’s Emotional Reaction
The Material Girl singer continued her rant with a powerful post addressing her 19 million followers. In a heartfelt caption, she wrote, “I woke up this morning and the first thought that came to my head was — America hates Women!” She elaborated on her frustration, stating, “Not that I haven’t always felt the wrath of misogyny breathing down my neck.”
Madonna’s impassioned message did not stop there. She criticized Americans for seemingly supporting a totalitarian government for the sake of lower taxes, arguing that Trump’s re-election is a threat to democracy. “They want lower taxes, but they don’t mind if they live in a Totalitarian government to get them,” she added.
The pop legend expressed concern for the future, especially regarding women’s rights and the status of immigrants in the U.S. “I want my daughters and all of their friends to have agency over their bodies!! To feel valued. Not like second-class citizens. How could women vote for Trump? We fought for so long for so much!” she lamented, emphasizing her fear that the progress made in recent decades could be undone.
Madonna has been a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris, both in the 2020 election when Harris ran as vice president alongside Joe Biden, and in the 2024 race where Harris was the Democratic candidate for president. Just days before the election, Madonna posted a series of photos from her trip to Paris, urging her followers to vote. “@kamalaharris For President!!!! ♥️” she wrote, showing her continued support for Harris’s political career.
Despite her endorsement, Harris conceded to Trump on November 6 after losing the electoral college vote. Trump’s victory, which marks his return to the White House as the 47th president, follows a tumultuous political career that includes two impeachments, a criminal conviction, and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Social Media Reactions to Madonna’s Comments
As expected, Madonna’s posts sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. While some praised her for standing up against Trump, others dismissed her opinions. One user commented, “Madonna always on the right side of history her whole life,” while another dismissed her influence, saying, “She was relevant like 50 years ago💀.”
There were also critics who questioned why she remains in the U.S. despite her disdain for the political climate. “Nobody cares. Tell me when Madonna leaves the U.S.,” one user quipped. Another added, “Does anybody care about what Madonna says?! 🦗🦗🦗 didn’t think so.”

Madonna’s outspoken criticism of Trump is consistent with her history of activism. Over the years, she has used her platform to champion women’s rights, LGBTQ+ issues, and social justice causes. Despite the backlash, it’s clear that Madonna remains undeterred in her fight against what she perceives as injustices in American society.
As Trump prepares for another term in the Oval Office, it’s likely that Madonna will continue to be a vocal critic of his administration. Whether you agree with her or not, the pop icon’s latest Instagram posts serve as a reminder of her enduring influence and her commitment to speaking her mind, no matter the consequences.
