lady gaga Lady Gaga calls on world leaders (minus Trump) for COVID-19 relief

[Jordan Miller]

Lady Gaga continues her philanthropic efforts with the ongoing pandemic by publicly putting pressure on world leaders, including France's president Emmanuel Macron, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and Canada's prime minster Justin Trudeau.

She's asking them for support to help battle the devastating Coronavirus. 

After reportedly raising $90 million and continuing, Gaga continues to pursue more opportunities. 

It's interesting she has not yet addressed Trump, who's inability to act before the virus ravaged the country will go down in history. 

Gaga recently made headlines for addressing inequality between the ultra rich like her and the other 99%, specifically the phrase "we're all in this together."

“While I think the sentiment is nice, I also think that the fight that I’m in — or that you’re in, right? — is very different than the fight of a woman that is in, perhaps, an abusive relationship and has a child and lost her job and can’t feed her kid and can’t feed herself and also can’t get the help that she needs because she’s in a violent situation,” she said.

Thoughts?

Really hate how she keeps jumping on whatever bandwagan she can without actually knowing specifics.  When she first started, she was a unique popstar, which eventually then became all theatrics, then pandering to gays, then other groups. Then acting like she's some humanitarian figure.

The fact she thanked people like Justin Trudeau, shows she probably just did a google search without knowing anything about the ruckus going on. He literally put the whole country in danger while he's still (to this day) hiding in his home while all the other political leaders in the country are actually getting things done. So many nurses and doctors putting their lives at risk and walking off the job and the cases are increasing at nasty rates because as the records are now showing he didn't treat it like a "priority" and instead kept sending our money and PPE to China (yet Gaga is asking him to send even MORE funds to the poorest countries?). The provincial leaders had to step in and got businesses to make PPE in very little time (still waiting for Health Canadian approval if they're good enough to use) and they got Trump to backdown on blocking masks coming in. Meanwhile, his wife and kids left him to hide in cottage country (even though authorities told people not to go there). It's nothing but drama and so many lives are increasingly in danger because of his ignorance on the issues just like Trump.

She's super talented, but her and other bandwagan celebs need to stay in their lane.
