Donald Trump was attacked by Natalie Maine of the Chicks in a scathing tirade
The Chicks singer Natalie Maines has unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade on Donald Trump, labeling the president a “fugly sl-t.”
RadarOnline.com can reveal the 51-year-old country star has been placed in the commander-in-chief position as he warns “our democracy is disappearing right before our eyes.”
Maines delivered her rant 23 years after saying on stage that her band, then known as The Dixie Chicks, was embarrassed by former President George W. Bush’s 2003 invasion of Iraq.
The political fallout led to the trio – which also includes sisters Emily Strayer and Martie Maguire – being banned from thousands of country music stations and sparked a wave of death threats against them.
Maines kicked off her post with an official portrait of the 79-year-old Trump, in which he stares grimly into the camera with a raised eyebrow as he stands in front of an American flag.
She wrote: “Our democracy is disappearing before our eyes.
“This dirty sl-t is using your gas money to pay the insurgents,” apparently referring to Trump’s war in Iran, which has caused a massive increase in gas prices, and to a controversial deal he made with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to set up a nearly $1.8 billion fund that is being harshly criticized by Democrats and ethics experts.
She continued, “But don’t worry about it. I’m sure posting selfies will fix everything.”
The Ready to run singer also claimed that her “last post calling (Trump) a fugly sl-t was deleted. We’ll see how long this one lasts.”
Maines concluded by appealing to her followers to share her post to “keep the message alive,” and she referenced Rep. Jamie Raskin’s claim to Axios in February that his search for “Trump” in a database of unredacted files related to Jeffrey Epstein returned more than a million search results.
Raskin later clarified that he had searched for the terms “Trump,” “Donald” and “Don,” and he said not every search result necessarily referred to Trump.
Maines added hashtags for “democracy,” “free speech” and “fugly sl-t.”
Her anger appears to have been fueled by the news that the president, his sons Don Jr. and Eric and the Trump Organization filed a lawsuit against the Treasury Department and the IRS in the Southern District of Florida in response to the leak of their tax returns.
In exchange for dropping the lawsuit, the IRS agreed to establish a $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” which will be able to issue a formal apology and provide financial relief to plaintiffs.
The fund will be governed by a five-member committee appointed by the attorney general, who was appointed by Trump. The president will also have the power to remove any member from the committee.
While Trump is technically prohibited from receiving payments directly from the fund, entities associated with him are not explicitly prohibited from making additional claims.
The settlement immediately drew ire from Democrats, including Senate Finance Committee member Ron Wyden, who said the measure represented a blatant new level of corruption.
He said: “Even by his standards, the move he is now getting away with is a staggering act of corruption.
“What Trump wants is a $1.7 billion slush fund for right-wing political violence and subversion, and if he goes through with this, it will be the most brazen theft and misuse of taxpayer dollars by any president in American history.”
