Cher Claps Back at Donald Trump as a 'Thug' and a 'Lizard Brain' After He Said They Agreed

Cher had harsh words for President Donald Trump after he said he agreed with her on what he apparently thought was her support for his anti-immigration politics.

The 72-year-old songstress tweeted on Sunday that Los Angeles, where she lives, wasn’t “taking care of its own” and that 50,000 people live on the streets, many of them veterans.

“I Understand Helping struggling Immigrants, but MY CITY (Los Angeles) ISNT TAKING CARE OF ITS OWN,” she wrote. “WHAT ABOUT THE 50,000+Citizens WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS. PPL WHO LIVE BELOW POVERTY LINE,& HUNGRY? If My State Can’t Take Care of Its Own (Many Are VETS) How Can it Take Care Of More.”

Trump — who has denigrated immigrants and called for restricting both legal and illegal immigration — reposted Cher’s message, adding “I finally agree with @Cher!”

The two have sparred throughout Trump’s time in office, with Cher often criticizing the president on social media.

After Trump’s tweet, Cher fired back on Monday, writing sarcastically, “I AGREE… THAT DEMS STILL DONT GET [it], THEY’RE PLAYING POLITICS, & trump’s PLAYING BUTCHER YOUR ENEMIES & CREATE CONSTANT MAYHEM.”

“HE’S IGNORANT THUG WITH LIZARD BRAIN THAT GUARANTEES HIS SURVIVAL ABOVE ALL ELSE,” she continued. “IF DEMS R WAITING 4 HIM 2 HAVE EPIPHANY,GOOD FKNG [luck].”

Every Dem lawmaker should be forced to write that sentence on the board 100 times.

Trump may not read about foreign affairs or global economics, but a well respected and attractive superstar just called him an ignorant thug. He read about this before I did and he's not going to be happy.

That makes me happy.

We have the resources to take care of every citizen and immigrants coming to the US. The problem isn't lack of resources. The problem is that the majority of the wealth is hoarded by a small minority of wealthy people who did not earn that wealth except off the labor of the rest of us. When celebrities like Cher tweet dumb things, they give the idiot in the White House ammunition.

Seriously, when has trying to twist an opponent's words into support for his policies ever worked out for him?
