Mark Ruffalo is another actor known for criticizing Trump. Similarly, Ruffalo is political and outspoken, as is Bette Midler. He has spoken out about Trump as the midterm elections near. The 58-year-old attended a Hands Off Our Vote rally on Sunday, October 4. In his speech, he criticized Trump and urged action. He said they must remove him from office. The rally drew attention to voting rights and the concerns they share.
Nevertheless, Bette Midler is mentioned.
Bette Midler has publicly slammed Trump since reportedly 2019.
Additionally, the 80-year-old actress remains a vocal critic of the president.
In October 2025, Bette performed a parody of The Wind Beneath My Wings on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
In April, Bette reworked a 1994 Woody Guthrie song, All You Fascists Bound to Lose.
The result was an anti-Trump protest song.
The song featured other Broadway stars, including Shoshana Bean, Jennifer Lewis, Marisha Wallace, and David Hyde Pierce.
Bette also performed her rendition at Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment.
It was hosted by the Committee for the First Amendment, relaunched by Jane Fonda.
Rosie O’Donnell
Rosie O’Donnell has been feuding with Trump since 2006. It reportedly began when the former talk show host criticized his decision not to fire Miss USA Tara Conner and the reasoning behind it. Rosie went on to also slam Trump personally and his multiple marriages, calling him a ” snake-oil salesman on Little House On The Prairie.” During the 64-year-old actress’s time guest hosting for Jimmy Kimmel Live! in August, she took aim at Trump repeatedly. Rosie referred to him as Mango Mussolini, President Oompa J. Loompa, and performed an anti-Trump song spoof of Danny Boy (Donnie Boy), which called for him to resign.(Image: Camara Porter/AdMedia/MediaPunch/Shutterstock)
