In a revealing conversation on CNN with Anderson Cooper, iconic singer and advocate for the LGBT community, Cyndi Lauper, shared her unfavorable views on former President Donald Trump’s style of leadership.
Famous for classics like “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and “Time After Time,” and equally for her commitment to LGBT rights, Lauper recounted her 2010 collaboration with Trump on the reality TV series Celebrity Apprentice. She expressed dissatisfaction with the experience.
“My experience with him was not positive,” Lauper stated. “He lacks the qualities of a good leader or a decent person.”
She specifically pointed out Trump’s approach towards LGBT issues, highlighting how his administration moved to remove protections for transgender students and sought to exclude transgender people from the military.
“He doesn’t support the LGBT community,” she commented. “Nor is he supportive of women, people of color, immigrants, or anyone who doesn’t share his views entirely.”
Lauper emphasized the need to advocate for underrepresented groups and the pursuit of equality. She urged people to continue using their influence to foster change and to persistently challenge injustice.
“It’s vital that we continue to challenge discrimination and advocate for fairness and equality across all fronts,” she declared.
The interview underscored Lauper’s strong stance on social issues and her dedication to promoting justice and equal rights. Her sharp criticism of Trump’s policies served as a rallying cry for those committed to supporting equality and justice.
