Bette Midler Sparks Fears After She Threatened to Drink Drain Cleaner Over Trump Victory

In a series of dramatic posts, legendary actress Bette Midler, 78, stirred up worry after a shocking online outburst about the election, followed by her sudden disappearance from social media.

On the eve of Donald Trump’s electoral triumph over Kamala Harris, Midler made headlines with a post featuring a bottle of drain cleaner labeled “Trump Wins” beside a bottle of champagne marked “Kamala Wins.”

The star’s words seemed to carry a dark undertone: if Trump emerged victorious, she implied, she’d reach for the toxic drain cleaner.

Then, as swiftly as she sparked the uproar, Midler deleted her X (formerly Twitter) account. The post had already amassed more than 57,000 likes and close to 7,000 retweets.

Now, fans are concerned. A source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com, “Bette’s always been outspoken, but this is something else. Threatening to drink drain cleaner? It’s clear this election’s hit her hard.”

Midler’s deletion of her account has only fueled speculation. Another insider noted, “She’s totally off the grid now, and no one from her circle has heard from her. If she doesn’t resurface soon, some close to her are ready to call in a wellness check.”

It wasn’t the first time the iconic entertainer had taken a pointed jab at Trump. In fact, her history with him has been peppered with fiery exchanges, including a viral meme she once shared attributing a fictional, scathing quote to Trump. He fired back at her, branding her a “washed-up psycho.”

Hours before signing off, she shared another biting critique, referencing H.L. Mencken: “As democracy is perfected… the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” Midler’s words seemed as much a jab at Trump as a lament for the state of politics.

This latest outburst follows years of outspoken anti-Trump commentary from Midler, who’s used her platform to rally behind causes like public schools, gun laws, and free speech. But the frustration appears to have reached new heights as Trump remains at the center of American politics.

In a memorable August interview with The Times, she commented, “He probably wanted to be an actor or a comic… as a performer, he would have been a sensation.”
