Maren Morris has shared a blunt message for people who supported President Donald Trump — and she didn’t soften her words.
The country singer has been outspoken about her views on Trump for years, and she appeared to revisit those criticisms in a new post in the aftermath of the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which began on February 28.
As of March 9, NPR reported that the escalation had resulted in 1,200 deaths in Iran, more than 400 in Lebanon, and 11 in Israel.
The Pentagon has also confirmed the deaths of seven US service members, with four of the names released last week.
In a TikTok shared on March 6, Morris addressed her 637,000 followers, saying: “I don’t have forgiveness for the triple Trumpers or any of the Trumpers. You did vote for this.”
She continued: “You voted for this and you got bamboozled,” she added.
Morris then criticized Fox News in the same clip, stating: “I get it. Fox News is a propaganda machine of, just like, Cocomelon brain rot for boomers, but this is literally the result of employing and voting for losers.”
In other remarks, she described Trump as “a dementia ridden, diaper-clad, cornball, ex TV host”.
The White House responded afterward. Spokesperson Davis Ingle said: “Maren Morris, whoever the hell that is, should see a psychiatrist immediately for her severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted her peanut-sized brain.”

Her March 6 post came shortly after another TikTok in which she accused Trump of being unable to acknowledge something positive, referencing his remarks about Team USA’s women’s hockey team after the Winter Olympics.
In that February 24 video, Morris said: “He had the moment to unify but he will always revert back to the misogynistic factory settings,” said the ‘My Church’ singer in a separate TikTok clip posted February 24.
The comments were prompted by a joke Trump made about inviting only the women’s team to the White House after their Olympic win, suggesting it would help him avoid impeachment — a remark that drew criticism online.
Team captain Hilary Knight later addressed how the focus on the joke affected the conversation around their achievements.
“Unfortunately, that is overshadowing a lot of the success of women at the Olympics carrying for team USA and having amazing gold medal feats,” she told ESPN.
“We’re just trying to focus on celebrating the women in our room, the extraordinary efforts, and continue to celebrate three gold medals in program history as well as the double gold for both men’s and women’s at the same time.”
Morris’ latest criticism sparked divided reactions online. Some commenters insisted she should stay out of politics, while others supported her decision to speak openly.
“Stick to music please,” one person wrote, while someone else said in the country star’s defense: “Appreciate you for speaking on this.”
