Pop icon Madonna turned to social media to express her frustration following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, posting a photo of a cake with an explicit anti-Trump message.
The cake, which read “F*** TRUMP” in bold icing, was shared on Madonna’s Instagram Story, where she told followers, “Stuffed my face with this cake last night!” The 66-year-old pop star had been vocal in her support for Harris, even cutting short a trip to Paris to return to the U.S. and vote.
In her Instagram post, Madonna further expressed her disappointment over the election outcome. She wrote, “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?”

The post reflected the sentiments of several high-profile celebrities who backed Harris and openly opposed Trump.
Madonna’s support for Harris was evident before the election. Just days prior, she shared photos from Paris with a caption encouraging her fans to vote for Harris, whom she called an “intelligent, compassionate, well-spoken leader who stands for justice and equal rights.”
Madonna had also endorsed Harris in 2020 when she ran as Biden’s vice-presidential pick.
The reaction from the entertainment world to Trump’s victory included similar messages from other prominent figures.
Christina Applegate, actress and long-time advocate for disability rights, tweeted, “Please unfollow me if you voted against female rights… disability rights. Don’t want followers like this. So yeah. Done.”
Please unfollow me if you voted against female rights. Against disability rights. Yeah that. Unfollow me because what you did is unreal. Don’t want followers like this. So yeah. Done. Also after today I will be shutting down this fan account that I have had for so many years…
