The White Lotus' Natasha Rothwell blasts US President Donald Trump as 'trash' most days on X

Perth Now29-04-2025

The White Lotus' Natasha Rothwell calls US President Donald Trump "trash" most days.
Natasha - who reprised her role as Belinda Lindsey for the recent third season of the HBO show - often takes to X to send the same message to Trump's account, but she mixed it up in one of her recent posts.
The 44-year-old star regularly sends a message to Trump saying: "you are trash".
She has done so nearly 200 times since October, including more than 100 times since the year began.
But on Sunday (27.04.25), Natasha became a bit more creative.
She shared a picture of Trump with his eyes closed at Pope Francis' funeral, and she added the message: "lmao you are trash."
If Natasha skips a day of sending her "trash" Trump message, she often double posts the following day to make up for it.
She also mixed up her usual insult on Easter Sunday (20.04.25).
Natasha wrote: "you are trash and I hope you have a s***** Easter."
On April 18th, a fan noticed she had been posting lots of the same message and asked her: "Everyday for the next 4 years???! (sic).
She simply replied: "Yes."
Natasha also took a swipe at Trump on April 7th, insisting The White Lotus hotel was better than his Florida residence Mar-a-Lago.
She wrote on X: "The White Lotus Mar-a-lago."
Other occasions Natasha has mixed up her Trump bashing was on February 28th, when she posted: "you are trash- like for real though."
And on February 4th she took a rare break from sending her usual message on X to tell how her heart was "aching" for the cast of 'How to Die Alone', which she created and starred in, after the show was axed after one season.
She wrote: "This is hard to comprehend... My heart is aches for the cast, crew and writers who gave their all to tell this story. I'm so grateful to have had this opportunity, and appreciate all of the love and support. Hopefully this news will be a comma in the HTDA story, not a period."
Less than four hours later, normal service was resumed as she wrote: ".@realDonaldTrump you are trash. (sic)"

Joe Rogan left shocked as he reacts to Elon Musk and Donald Trump feud during live podcast recording while guest FBI director Kash Patel refuses to weigh in

Joe Rogan's live reaction to the outrageous feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has been captured in the latest episode of his mega-popular podcast. The disagreement between the pair, who appeared to have a strong relationship in the early months of Trump's second term as President, started after Musk lashed out at the President's signature "big beautiful bill" which would unleash trillions in tax cuts and slash spending but also add to the USD$36 trillion debt. Musk's attack on the bill came after he finished his tenure with the administration overseeing the Department of Government Efficiency. The disagreement over the bill led the pair to trade barbs with one another through social media and at the leader of the free world's press conferences. President Trump on Thursday said he was "disappointed" in Musk who had earlier described the bill as a "disgusting abomination", before the Tesla founder accused the commander-in-chief of being in files relating to dead sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In episode 2334 of the Joe Rogan Experience, which dropped on Friday, US time, the podcast host who was unaware of the unfolding drama at the time, had it brought to his attention about three-quarters through his discussion with FBI director Kash Patel. Rogan's producer Jamie noticed the tweets, and brought them up screen for the host who was left shocked by how rapidly the bitter feud had developed. "Jesus Christ", Rogan said in response to Musk claiming Trump's name was in the Epstein files. "Someone should take (Musk's) phone away. That's a crazy thing to say. How does he know? Does he know that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files or does he have access to the Epstein files?" Mr Patel refused to take part in speculating about the claims or weighing into the argument adding: "I'm not participating in that conversation". "I don't know how he would (have access to the Epstein files) but I'm just staying out of the Trump/Elon thing, that's way outside my lane. I know my lane and that ain't it," he said. Rogan continued in disbelief, responding: "what the f**k are they doing?" "I mean I understand (Musk) owns Twitter (but) I think it's bad for your mental things public all day and arguing with people all day is bad for you." Mr Patel pivoted away, as he directed the conversation back to the FBI. Asked about the feud on a phone call with CNN, President Trump kept his response short. 'I'm not even thinking about Elon," he said on Friday (local time). "He's got a problem. The poor guy's got a problem." CNN host Dana Bash then asked the President if he had spoken to Musk. 'No. I won't be speaking to him for a while I guess, but I wish him well," he said.

Painful story behind the new Harry Potter series

In any given week there are any number of images that are likely to elicit an Edvard Munch-y Scream but this week there was one photo, shot in a green and pleasant bit of England which could have doubled as a Wind In the Willows set, that should have set your hair on fire. In the image, three tweens crouch, broadly grinning for the camera, the trio having beaten out tens of thousands of other 9-11-year-olds to nab the lead roles in the New HBO remake of Harry Potter. Ohgodisthisagoodideareallyummmm…. Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton have been cast, respectively, as the Harry and his sidekicks Ron and Hermione, guaranteeing them fortunes, fame and never having to sit through year ten modern history should they not fancy. That day, they just might be in Cannes doing a quick red carpet or in Prague shooting Darron Aronofksy's newie. Ciao darling. I'm sure that for McLaughlin, Stout and Stanton it's a dream come true. They feel like golden ticket winners, the envy of kids the world over and are about to embark on an incredible adventure. But boring adult me looks at this publicity shot and wants to do some Munch-ing. Child stardom, historically, has a helluva chequered record. The announcement of McLaughlin, Stout and Stanton as the new faces of Harry Potter feels like the most double edged of swords going outside of a Roman military museum. On one hand, what child's dream would not be to get to skive off school to pretend to be a wizard all day while earning squillions? On the other hand, youthful fame is notorious for wreaking havoc and often coming with an extraordinarily high, lifelong cost. The most obvious casualties: Drew Barrymore, Cory Haim, Cory Feldman, Edward Furlong, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Tatum O'Neil, Macaulay Culkin, and Amanda Bynes. We could also probably add in Justin Bieber considering he seems to really be going through something right now. Hello, stints in rehab, reality TV, and even court, with the occasional caught-by-the-paps, head-shaving breakdown thrown in there too. For decades it has been clear that childhood stardom both arrests and speeds up the normal sort of emotional, psychological and social development that you are meant to go through as you leave childhood and awkwardly galumph into adulthood. We've known all of this since Ronald Reagan was eating all the red jelly beans out of his Oval Office jar and yet every generation there are new fresh-faced enthusiastic pre-teens who don't, who can't, quite realise what they are about to sacrifice. Look no further than the original Potter stars, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. They have all made clear that the actual acting on the eight original movies – the larking about on sets and the creative aspect of it all – was a real joy but that tremendous, global fame that came with it deeply affected them. Radcliffe, Watson and Grint might never have to worry about mortgage payments or how they can afford that ice cream truck they always wanted (Grint) but the life-altering reverberations of being cast in Potter are clear to this day. Radcliffe has, on a number of occasions, talked about how he started drinking heavily as a teenager to cope with it all. 'The quickest way to forget about the fact that you're being watched is to get very drunk,' he told Off Camera With Sam Jones in 2019. 'I was a recluse at 20. It was pathetic,' he told Shortlist in 2012. 'I'd stay in my apartment for days and drink alone.' During a Newsweek interview in 2022 he was clear: 'I wouldn't want fame for my kid.' Speaking to The Times in 2021, Grint said: 'I found it hard to deal with the fame side of things. If I ever do see Dan [Radcliffe] or Emma [Watson], fame is the one thing we never talk about.' Wade into the myriad of interviews Radcliffe, Watson and Grint have given over the years and the words they use to describe becoming global megastars so young are ones like 'scary', 'dehumanising', 'surreal and odd', 'weird' and 'vulnerable'. They have talked about feeling 'detached' from other teenagers. Grint said in 2018, when he would go back to his old school and see his peers, 'We had very little in common, which is quite isolating in a way.' Radcliffe, Watson and Grint won their roles in 2000 and yet here we are, 25 years later, and their careers and public identities are still indelibly shaped by a movie they started shooting a full year before 9/11 even happened. Smartphones didn't exist yet. Instagram had barely been invented when the final Potter movie came out. So, what will the future be like for McLaughlin, Stout and Stanton? They are about to embark on a project that will make them some of the most instantly recognisable teenagers in a world saturated by social media. How will they get through this unscathed? I'm sure their parents, HBO and every producer involved will do absolutely everything in their power to look after them; that they will all take every precaution and hire every child psychologist and adolescent specialist and on-set advocate to try and protect McLaughlin, Stout and Stanton as much as possible. But surely there is only so far a well-meaning studio and the most thoughtful and best of parents can go to shield them from real world consequences of their roles. Just think about what lies ahead. McLaughlin, Stout and Stanton will have to go through the profound, innate awkwardness of adolescence – the hormones, the physical and emotional changes – with People keeping a around-the-clock watch. Their faces will be on screens the world over. For a new generation, they will be Harry, Hermione and Ron. They will become immutable parts of the cultural furniture and nothing can ever change that. There will be no going back. They are making what could be a lifelong choice at 11. There will be at least one season per book, with the first out in 2026 meaning that, assuming there is one series per year, the final one could be screening in 2034. McLaughlin as the titular Harry will be 19-years-old by then. How will they be on the other side of this? I hope that what lies ahead for McLaughlin, Stout and Stanton is all the joy and fun and magic of bringing these characters to life. I hope against hope that they can somehow dodge having to walk the tough path that many other child stars have over the years. I hope. I so very dearly hope. And if all else fails, they can buy themselves an ice cream van I suppose.

What to Watch: Mix Tape, Ocean With David Attenborough, Play School, Fubar and The Inspired Unemployed

Binge is fast carving a place for itself as the go-to for reliably excellent locally produced series. This is a good thing: they recently lost their HBO slate to new streaming rival Max, so investing locally is probably a solid strategy going forward. In recent years Binge has given us some ripper series, including The Twelve, Love Me and Colin From Accounts. Now they're blessing us with this great four-part drama, based on the acclaimed novel by Jane Sanderson. Told through dual timelines, it charts the teen love story of school friends Alison and Daniel (Florence Hunt and Rory Walton-Smith), living in Sheffield, England, in 1989, who fall in love and exchange mix tapes, which provide the musical backdrop to this beautifully realised series. Alison and Daniel's story picks up again in 2015, and by this stage the pair (now played by Teresa Palmer and Jim Sturgess) are long estranged, and living very different lives to their teen selves. Daniel is a music critic, still living in his hometown, and Alison is on the other side of the world in Sydney, the wife of an accomplished surgeon (played by Ben Lawson) — neither is wholly satisfied with where they've landed. They reconnect again, once more through music, and their stories pick up where they left off. But there's been a whole life lived between the stories, and the series asks whether lost love can ever really be reclaimed, and whether 'the road not taken' really is the better one. This is beautifully shot, with a great script and superb performances, especially from Bridgerton's Hunt and newcomer Walton-Smith, who infuse their portrayals with just the right amount of teen intensity and crackling tension. I adored this sweetly nostalgic series. You won't want to miss it. 'If we save the sea, we save our world,' says David Attenborough in the trailer for his latest landmark documentary special, which highlights the importance of the world's vast oceans and the part we all have to play in ensuring they remain healthy and viable. It's a marvel that Attenborough, now aged 99, is still involving himself with these types of programs. How blessed we are to still be hearing his voice. A cinematic journey into the deep. This one's for all of you with teen boys at home: chances are they'll be tuning in to the new season, which sees the four mates up to their old tricks, thriving in the chaos they create through their attempts to one-up each other in the embarrassment stakes. Real talk: this show is not for everyone, but if you like puerile humour and rapscallion hijinks (see also: teenage boys), then you're in the right place. Not for the faint of heart. There's something so wholesome about Play School — I miss the time I spent watching it daily with my little one. This week sees the start of a new spin-off, this one all about 'the beauty and diversity of Australia'. Different places are explored through the premise that regular presenter Teo is off having adventures, posting back parcels and videos showcasing where he's been. For curious little minds. He promised us he'd be back, and Arnold Schwarzenegger is nothing if not a man of his word. He's returning for another season of his surprisingly funny comedy, which has him star as an ageing CIA operative who realises his daughter, played by Monica Barbaro, is also working for his organisation. For years they've both been living double lives, unaware of each other's professions — great premise, no? This season they're joined by The Matrix's Carrie-Anne Moss. Count us in!
