Actress Bette Midler took to Twitter to call President Trump a “vampire” and said someone needs to “drive a stake through his heart” during a multiple tweet tirade against the president.
“Sometimes I think Whats-his-name is a kind of vampire and someone needs to drive a stake through his heart, so we can #breatheagain,” Midler said, ostensibly referring to Trump. “Of course, he’s driven a lot of steak through his own heart tho, so…fingers crossed!”

Midler later responded to a tweet from attorney Lin Wood, who called Trump a “genuinely good man,” saying that Trump deserved to “go to jail.”
“PRESIDENTTRUMP is not a ‘genuinely good man,’” Midler responded. “He is a con-man, a fraud, blot on the American body politic HE deserves to go to jail. Anyone who does not understand this is simple-minded, dimwitted, or a product of the American public school system, which teaches NOTHING!”

Midler wasn’t done there. She then quipped that those who wanted Trump to run in 2024 should worry that Trump might be in prison, while also taking a shot at the president’s son, Barron Trump.
“The #Trump campaign is asking its donors if Donald should run again in 2024, but they forgot to include the key phrase ‘Well, you know, like if he’s not in prison,’” Midler joked. “Hope he goes to jail until BARRON graduates Borough of Manhattan Community College. #TrumpIsALaughingStock”

Midler, who doubles as a singer and songwriter in addition to her acting career, has been a frequent critic of Trump and his administration.
Last month, Midler told White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany to “go f— yourself” in response to McEnany’s tweet about election fraud in Michigan.
Midler has also gone after first lady Melania Trump, accusing her of being an “illegal alien” who doesn’t know how to “speak English” in an August joke about her accent. After facing backlash for the remarks, Midler later apologized and said she was “wrong to make fun of her accent.”
