‘Open Your Heart‘ hitmaker Madonna was likely shocked to open social media and see herself on the receiving end of criticism after taking to Instagram to criticize President Donald Trump on Thursday (February 20).
I thought this country was built by
Europeans, escaping living under the rule of a King, to establish a New World governed by the people.
Currently we have a president who calls Himself.
Our King
If this is a joke,
I’m not laughing pic.twitter.com/SKblEYiRo1— Madonna (@Madonna) February 21, 2025
Having made headlines in the past for slamming the businessman-turned-politician, the Pop Queen is no stranger to landing on the wrong side of his supporters.
This time, however, she got double the disses after she took to Instagram and X (formerly known as Twitter) to weigh in on a fake ‘TIME‘ magazine cover posted on the White House’s official social channels.
“I thought this country was built by Europeans, escaping living under the rule of a King, to establish a New World governed by the people,” she wrote in response to the White House tweet that referred to Trump as “the King.” “Currently, we have a president who calls himself our King. If this is a joke, I’m not laughing.”
While some applauded Madge’s brazen take on the post, others criticized her for disregarding the contribution of Native Americans and enslaved Africans to the fundament of the USA.
Look below to see highlights of the responses to her tweet.
Ouch! At writing, Madonna has not responded to the hoopla.


Trump is a Putin lap dog 💅
Die b I t ch! Stays mad! Trump stay winning! 💅🏽 y’all forgot the fact that Black people sold their people to White pepper for s l a v e trade
Madonna has more courage than every single elected Republican who refuses to call out Trump’s clear shift toward authoritarianism. 😆
Reporter: egg prices have reached all-time high
Trump: there’s a flu before I’ve gotten here…This country has made more progress in the last 3 weeks than in the last 4 years. And we’re respected again as a country.”
(fact check: false) 😂
This economy is why me and mans will be spending more in the bedroom.
And I’m not mad either 👄
When life throw you lemons…
Mind you muslims and Arabs think the same about the countries they colonized outside of Arabia 🤣
It’s so bad that people in Asia don’t even know their original cultures, Islam completely erased their history unlike in the US.
The concept of America did come from Europeans. They just used enslaved black labor to help execute it.
Unfortunately, back in that time slaves was a global thing.
This old broad. Clearly her mind is just as gone just as bad as her knees now
It was built by blk ppl period. Why do u think they needed us? Yes they got free labor but when they tried to build America on their own without us they failed.
This was taken out of context! She was speaking to white people who have historically said that America was built by people who wanted to escape a king. Not that America was actually built by Europeans. She just questioning their logic
