Cardi B Deletes Social Media Post After Trump Win

After the results rolled in, Hollywood was in full meltdown mode as Kamala Harris’s bid for the presidency ended in a decisive victory for Donald Trump.

The left-leaning celebrity crowd, predictably, had a lot to say—and most of it wasn’t pretty. While some A-listers who threw their weight behind Harris stayed conspicuously quiet, others took to social media to broadcast their frustration, despair, and, of course, a good dose of doom.

Starting off with rapper Cardi B, who’s known for her colorful commentary, she initially posted a video blaming red states for “getting hurricanes,” a jab that didn’t exactly land well. She quickly deleted it, but not before Variety picked up the slip. In an Instagram Live, she seemed genuinely distraught, snapping back at someone who asked if she’d attend Trump’s inauguration, saying, “I hate y’all bad,” she said. “Burn your hats! I swear to God I’m really sad.” Cardi’s outburst was the first of many celebrity reactions, each one angrier than the last.

Then there’s Jamie Lee Curtis, who used her Instagram platform to warn of a “return to a more restrictive, draconian time,” calling on her followers to “wake up and fight.” According to Curtis, the country is facing threats to reproductive rights and LGBTQ freedoms, though she offered to “help” those affected by this supposed dystopia. John Cusack didn’t hold back either, characterizing Trump voters as deeply “nihilistic” and describing the election results as a sign of the country’s desire to self-destruct. Subtle as always, Cusack.

Christina Applegate joined the chorus with a personal touch, sharing that her daughter was in tears over what she feared would be the loss of women’s rights. Applegate wasn’t taking any criticism on this one—she bluntly told her followers to unfollow her if they disagreed before announcing she’d be shutting down a fan account she’d run for years. The message? If you’re not fully on board with her worldview, you’re out.

As we can see by the vote, the nation is done with this propaganda- read the comments below her post. People are done.

Meanwhile, Stephen King, never shy to throw his hat into the political ring, posted an ominous message comparing American democracy to a fragile trinket. He seemed to suggest the country’s broken, though he left it at that—no solutions or ideas on how to move forward, just that signature sense of doom and gloom.

Pop star Billie Eilish jumped in with her own message on Instagram, calling the outcome a “war on women,” while Ariana Grande posted her support, talking about the “immeasurable heaviness” everyone must be feeling. Even comedian Jon Stewart, who usually keeps his commentary laced with humor, could only muster a single expletive, promising his audience that the fight wasn’t over but offering little insight into what that actually means.

For Hollywood, this election result wasn’t just a political loss; it felt like a personal affront. Yet their reactions—angry, accusatory, and mostly directed at Trump’s supporters rather than at policies or ideas—aren’t likely to win any hearts or minds. Actually, they’re all throwing immature temper tantrums.

Does this seem rational?

For many Americans, the Trump victory represented a hope for secure borders, economic growth, and a chance to scale back federal control. But instead of listening Hollywood’s elite doubled down on the disdain, with ultimatums, unfollows, and vague promises to “fight” some invisible tyranny. Maybe it’s time they realized that when half the country disagrees with you, the answer isn’t to get louder—it’s to get real.
