Singer Kacey Musgraves Blasts Donald Trump Over His Insensitive Coronavirus Tweet

When it comes to singer Kacey Musgraves, she has always has been one of the outspoken celebs, not afraid of putting forward their thoughts.

She has been pretty vocal about not liking the way President Donald Trump goes about with his administration and lately, his method of handling the coronavirus pandemic. He has been all overly-optimistic about the outbreak and had been planning to lift the lockdown on Easter, hoping that the virus will magically disappear.

While he did go back on his previous stance and has extended the lockdown to Aril 31, he is still not managing the crisis with the empathy people would expect from a president accountable for an entire nation.

He recently took to Twitter to post a rather insensitive remark on the coronavirus rampaging through the US and how because of it he is a “ratings hit” now.

"President Trump is a ratings hit. Since reviving the daily White House briefing Mr. Trump and his coronavirus updates have attracted an average audience of 8.5 million on cable news, roughly the viewership of the season finale of The Bachelor. Numbers are continuing to rise," he wrote.

The controversial tweet prompted Musgraves to call out Trump in her Instagram story post, with a screenshot of his tweet, where she called the U.S. President a "F—ing Tool".

And she is not the only one, furious with Trump’s remarks as many others took to Twitter to slam the president for his senseless tweet.

"Even in the middle of a deadly pandemic that has taken over 2,000 Americans Trump is still only concerned with TV RATINGS. Does anyone really want 4 more years this BS?!" radio host Dean Obeidallah replied.

"I literally cannot believe Trump cares this much about his ratings in the middle of the worst pandemic in modern history as Americans worry about their loved ones and their basic survival. This is like a reality TV show to him while it's like the real life Hunger Games for us," tweeted Dr. Eugene Gu.

"Trump has high 'ratings' because he is the President of the United States and we are all scared shitless. He has all the power and the resources to do something about it so of course, people are tuning into his news conferences. Yet he thinks this is like some gross entertainment," Gu continued.
