Madonna is very publicly slamming Donald Trump.

For four decades, this day has been internationally recognized around the world by people from all walks of life, because millions of people’s lives have been touched by the HIV crisis,” Madonna began. “People have lost lovers and husbands and wives and girlfriends and boyfriends and mothers and daughters and children to this deadly disease, of which there is still no cure.”
She continued, “Donald Trump has announced that World AIDS Day should no longer be acknowledged. It’s one thing to order federal agents to refrain from commemorating this day, but to ask the general public to pretend it never happened is ridiculous, it’s absurd, it’s unthinkable. I bet he’s never watched his best friend die of AIDS, held their hand, and watched the blood drain from their face as they took their last breath at the age of 23.”
“The list of people that I have known and loved and lost to AIDS is pretty long. I’m sure many of you out there can relate,” Madonna wrote. “Let me say it one more time — there still isn’t a cure for AIDS and people still die from it. I refuse to acknowledge that these people have died in vain. And I will continue to honor World AIDS Day, and I hope you will honor it with me.”
Last week, the U.S. State Department sent an email to employees that stated, “The U.S. Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year,” according to CNN. This is the first time the U.S. has not commemorated World AIDS Day since the World Health Organization created this day in 1988.
The day remembers the millions of people who have died of AIDS-related illnesses and to recommit to fighting the epidemic that still claims the lives of more than half a million people each year.
Trump‘s decision to not acknowledge World AIDS Day comes after he recently cut federal funding efforts battling the AIDS/HIV crisis.
