Sat Feb 22 00:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Pop Icon Madonna Slams Trump’s “King” Self-Proclamation
**NEW YORK** – Pop superstar Madonna has renewed her criticism of President Donald Trump, this time targeting his self-proclaimed title of “King.” The singer took to social media Thursday to denounce Trump’s declaration, “LONG LIVE THE KING,” which followed his announcement of blocking a New York congestion charge. The White House even amplified the message with an image depicting Trump wearing a crown.
Madonna countered, arguing that the US was founded on escaping monarchical rule and establishing a government “by the people.” She questioned whether Trump’s self-styled title was a joke, adding, “If this is a joke, I’m not laughing.” This is not the first time Madonna has publicly opposed Trump; she previously criticized him during his first term and participated in anti-Trump protests. Her latest comments highlight a continued rift between the singer and the former president.
