Bette Midler has publicly criticized Donald Trump on social media this week after the president made comments about Elizabeth Warren's decision to suspended her presidential campaign.
After the news broke of Warren's intention to pull out of the running, the Republican leader took to Twitter to lambast Warren, stating: "Elizabeth 'Pocahontas' Warren, who was going nowhere except into Mini Mike’s head, just dropped out of the Democrat Primary...THREE DAYS TOO LATE. She cost Crazy Bernie, at least, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas. Probably cost him the nomination! Came in third in Mass. [sic]"
Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders has been storming ahead after a victory in New Hampshire:

Per Fox News, when asked about Warren's lack of success by reporters on Friday, Trump replied: "But people don't like her. She's a very mean person... People don't want that. They like a person, like me, that's not mean."
Taking to Twitter, the singer, songwriter, comedian, and actor didn't mince her words when it came to describing how she felt about Trump, and in response she wasted no time in disparaging him at length.

Midler tweeted: "Today #Trump said that #ElizabethWarren was mean; this from a MF who put children in cages with aluminum blankets; that she had no talent. Meaning she was not a corrupt parasitic traitor who's managed to get away with some of the most appalling criminal behavior ever seen in US. [sic]"

In a follow-up post, she continued: "#EllizabethWarren is a powerhouse, but Donald Trump, that stable genius, said she was unlikeable. Well, Don, in breaking news, she's 100% more likable than you! You are the most hated, most repulsive human male on the planet today, & God knows, there are plenty to choose from. [sic]"

She added: "And BTW , #ElizabethWarren was a tremendous candidate. I admired her conduct, her platform, and her determination to drive corruption out of government. She knew the numbers. Why do smart women freak Americans out so bad? Personality contests are the gateway to mediocrity. [sic]"
