Trump Plots Revenge on Madonna

The White House - President Trump is apparently plotting a brutal revenge towards Madonna after she attacked him for stamping out World AIDS Day tributes. Sources close to the President of the United States reveal that he is planning to use immigration powers against the Material Girl that involve visa disruptions on the Super Star to complicate her return to the US if she embarks on an international tour. Madonna, being a non-US citizen, would typically require an 0-1 or P-1 visa to perform for a paying audience in the United States.

     

The sensational clash, reported by RadarOnline.com , centers on the December 1st commemoration of World AIDS Day, which has been formally recognised by the US government since 1988. Following a directive from Trump instructing federal employees not to acknowledge the traditional event and to skip any mention of World AIDS Day, Madonna launched into a series of Instagram messages that immediately drew the ire of the MAGA leader and his loyalists.

     

Health advocates and activists were immediately outraged by the reversal of policy, viewing it as a profound dishonouring of the millions of lives lost and affected by the HIV crisis. 

     

“Today is World AIDS Day. For four decades, this day has been recognized around the world by people from all walks of life, because millions of people’s lives have been touched by the HIV crisis,” said the global icon Madonna, who rose to prominence during the height of the crisis. 

     

The State Department, under the Trump  Administration, defended the shift in policy by arguing that ‘an awareness day is not a strategy’ and that efforts should instead focus on direct engagement with foreign governments to save lives.

     

“People have lost lovers and husbands and wives and girlfriends and boyfriends and mothers and daughters and children to this deadly disease, of which there is still no cure,” the singer continued on her social media platform. “Donald Trump has announced that World AIDS Day should no longer be acknowledged. It’s one thing to order federal agents to refrain from commemorating this day, but to ask the general public to pretend it never happened is ridiculous, it’s absurd, it’s unthinkable.”

     

The international pop and cultural icon went on to deliver a personal account, aimed at Trump’s apparent lack of empathy.

     

“I bet he’s never watched his best friend die of AIDS, hold their hand, and watched the blood drain from their face as they took their last breath at the age of 23,” she apparently referred to her dear friend and former roommate Martin Burgoyne.

     

A source familiar with the internal discussions stated that the President was incensed by what he viewed as a personal affront. He feels she was attempting to ‘embarrass him globally.’

     

“Donald feels she crossed a line and wants options on the table to dole out punishment… One idea being floated is slowing or disrupting any future visa filings connected to her touring operation,” the source revealed.

     

Madonna has carried her long commitment to HIV and AIDS advocacy through every era of her illustrious career. She has spent decades speaking out about the crisis, long before most stars touched the topic.

     

Madonna, now 67, vowed to keep commemorating the day. “I will continue to honor World AIDS Day. I urge my fans to honor it with me.”

       

The threats could create complications for Madonna. One touring source said visa pressure could rattle promoters since “no one wants to be caught in the middle of a war between a super star and a President.” 

     

Whether the threat of visa disruption is a serious policy tool or merely political posturing, the confrontation brings into focus the alarming real-world consequences when powerful figures seek to silence public dissent.
