is trying to make “fugly slut” happen.

That’s the derogatory term she’s using in her latest Instagram post to blast U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Our democracy is disappearing right before our eyes,” the Chicks frontwoman wrote on Tuesday.
“This fugly slut is using your gas money to pay the insurrectionists,” she continued, seemingly referring to Trump’s war in Iran, which has caused a massive hike at the pumps, as well as a deal he struck with the Internal Revenue Service to create a nearly $1.8 billion fund to pay “victims of lawfare and weaponization.”
Maines added: “But don’t worry about it. I’m sure posting selfies will fix everything.”
The post also featured Trump’s official presidential portrait along with photos from the scene of the Jan. 6, 2021, riots at the Capitol.
Maines’ encore about Trump
It’s not the first time the 51-year-old singer has referred to the president with the insult, she claimed.
“My last post that called him a fugly slut got removed,” she noted. “We’ll see how long this one lasts.”
Maines called out for her followers to “repost and help the message live.”
She added of Trump: “Named 1M times in the #epsteinfiles,” and also included the hashtags #democracy, #freespeech, and once more for those in the back, #fuglyslut.
Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin told Axios in February that his search for “Trump” in a database of unredacted files relating to Jeffrey Epstein garnered more than one million search results.
The congressman later clarified that he had searched for the terms “Trump,” “Donald” and “Don,” explaining that not every search result necessarily referenced Trump.
Not the first president Maines has slammed
The 12-time Grammy winner has never been afraid to speak up when it comes to politics.
It’s been more than 23 years since Maines was on stage with her band, then known as The Dixie Chicks, in London when she criticized then-President George W. Bush over the impending invasion of Iraq in 2003.
“Just so you know, we’re on the good side with y’all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas,” she told the audience at the time.
Bandmate Emily Strayer added, “But you know we’re behind the troops 100 per cent.”
The damage, however, was done.
Booted from country radio
The trio, which also includes Strayer’s sister, Martie Maguire, was banned from thousands of country music stations and kicked off a wave of death threats directed at them.
Two months after the political outburst, the Chicks were on the cover of Entertainment Weekly — appearing only with epithets scrawled all over their naked bodies.

Robison and Maguire told the outlet last year that they still stood by what they went through, despite some country radio stations still refusing to play their music.
They added that their publicist did not want them to take part in the photoshoot and tried to talk them out of it.
“But it had to be all the way, like with the ‘Sadaam’s Angels’ stuff,” Maguire explained. “Those were real things people were writing to us in emails and posting on the web.”
Robinson added: “People say when they’re in the moment and they realize that something is going to be big before it happens. I felt like we knew the gravity of that shoot while it was happening.”
