Bette Midler attacked on Twitter by Melania Trump fans [View all]

Wednesday, Midler tweeted a NSFW (not suitable for work) photo of first lady Melania Trump from a steamy shoot with British GQ in 2000.

The image which Midler shared from the flight-themed spread shows Trump posing in the cockpit wearing an ensemble that appears to expose her nipples.

"The dry cleaning bill for the upholstery on Air Force One must be insane," Midler cracked to nearly 1.5 million followers.

(Trump’s supporters) were quick to slam Midler, 72, for her quip.

Someone described Midler's "bullying" as "shameful."
"Mean people never bring joy," the user added.
"First and most she is now our first lady; have some respect," one user directed.
