One of the X users wrote, "So disappointed in her. Will not go see the show now." Another user wrote, "I am truly disgusted. I mean if she believes in Jesus that¡¯s fine, but it¡¯s clearly on a trump looking hat so that¡¯s suspicious¡­" One more user who criticised her said, "It really can¡¯t be a mistake that she didn¡¯t know what she was doing. Everybody knows what that Maga hat means and represents. This has nothing to do with Jesus. This is all to do with mega. Don¡¯t try to whitewash it. This is what she believes in."

This comes as Donald Trump has re-entered the White House as the 47th President of the United States. The Trump wave has taken over the internet as his supporters and haters, including celebrities, continue to engage in debate regarding their favourite leaders.
