Legendary singer and actress Barbra Streisand has reignited political controversy by calling President Donald Trump “completely unfit to be president” while lauding Bill and Hillary Clinton as “the most appealing couple” in American politics. Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Los Angeles on July 30, 2025, Streisand criticized Trump’s leadership style and policies, accusing him of undermining democratic norms. Her remarks echo her vocal opposition during Trump’s first term, when she publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential bid.
Streisand, a longtime Democratic supporter, praised the Clintons’ political legacy, citing their charisma and public service as unmatched. She highlighted Hillary’s tenure as Secretary of State and Bill’s economic achievements as president, urging Democrats to rally behind figures with their experience. The comments come amid speculation about Hillary Clinton’s potential involvement in the 2028 election, though she has not confirmed any plans.
Trump’s campaign swiftly dismissed Streisand’s remarks, with a spokesperson calling them “out-of-touch Hollywood elitism.” Supporters argue her influence in political circles is waning, while critics of Trump see her comments as a rallying cry for Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterms. The singer’s outspokenness, including past criticisms of Trump’s immigration policies, has long polarized audiences, with some fans applauding her candor and others accusing her of bias.
The remarks underscore ongoing tensions between Hollywood and the Trump administration, with celebrities increasingly vocal in their opposition. As political divides deepen, Streisand’s comments highlight the enduring influence of the Clintons in Democratic circles and the challenges facing the party’s future strategy.
