Barbra Streisand: ‘Doesn’t matter’ if I offend Trump supporters with my music
By Chris Mills Rodrigo - 10/31/18 09:24 AM EDT
American singer Barbra Streisand said "it doesn’t matter" if her new music offends supporters of President Trump in an interview with New York Times released Tuesday.
Streisand discussed her new, politically driven album "Walls," which does not hold back in its criticism.
"I would lie awake at night with Trump’s outrages running through my head, and I had to do another album for Columbia Records, so I thought, why not make an album about what’s on my mind?" she explained.
Asked if she felt that artists had an obligation to be more involved in politics now, Streisand explained that she felt motivated to speak as a person rather than a musician.
"But me in real life is more important than me as the artist," she said. "As a citizen, that’s the role."
Streisand has been a frequent critic of the Trump administration, calling the president “fat egg, sitting on a wall, and one day he’s going to fall off the wall” in an interview with The Guardian earlier in October, alluding to the Humpy Dumpty nursery rhyme.
She has also been a vocal supporter of Democrats ahead of the midterm elections next week.

I’m sorry BS. I don’t care enough about you or your music to be offended.
Can’t be offensive...nobody’s listening to her music. She’s a has been washed up feminista Hollywood style. Like Cher they still think they need to be heard but now with a political voice since the old singing voice has died. Hillary’s playing that tune now as well....they can’t get over they do not matter any longer.
I never liked her music even before I became aware of her Leftist politics.
Canada is not nearly far enough away for this vapid bitch to move to. I’m thinking China since she is so fond of totalitarianism.
