Madonna: Waking up to President Trump is ‘like being dumped’

Madonna likens Donald Trump’s stunning White House win to waking up every morning after “being dumped.”

Since election night, the singer says she’s felt like she’s in perpetual break-up mode: “I wake up every morning and it’s like when you break up with somebody who has really broken your heart.”

“You wake up and for a second you’re just you, and then you go, ‘Oh, the person I love more than anything has just broken my heart, and I’m devastated and I’m broken and I have nothing. I’m lost.’ That’s how I feel every morning,” the single-monikered star tells Harper’s Bazaar in an interview published Tuesday.

Madonna, 58, was an outspoken supporter of Hillary Clinton, raising eyebrows last year for pledging during a concert to perform oral sex on voters who cast their ballots for the then-Democratic presidential nominee.

When asked by the magazine “What do we do now?” following the election, Madonna replies, “I feel like I’m already doing it to a certain degree anyway and have been doing it. But I have to get way more vocal and become a little bit less mysterious.”

But the Grammy winner and famously provocative star criticizes other performers for not getting political, saying, “What I find really astonishing is how quiet everybody is in my industry. I mean, nobody in the entertainment business except for maybe a handful of people ever speak out about what’s going on. Nobody takes a political stance or expresses an opinion.”

While countless celebrities weighed in on the 2016 race, Madonna says many of her peers “want to maintain a neutral position so they can maintain their popularity.”

“I mean, if you have an opinion and people disagree with you, you might not get a job. You might be blacklisted. You might have fewer followers on Instagram,” Madonna says. “There are any number of things that would be detrimental to your career. Everyone’s really afraid. Because it doesn’t affect their daily life yet, no one’s doing anything about it.”
