Country singer Sheryl Crow has hit out at Donald Trump as she set out what she reckons would actually 'make America great again.'
The nine-time Grammy winner took to Instagram on Wednesday (February 25) to express her thoughts.
Her comments came soon after Trump addressed Congress for his State of the Union speech, setting out the country's agenda and highlighting achievements from his first 12 months back in office.
The musician accused the President of labeling her 'the enemy' as she claimed Americans deserve 'better.'

In part, Crow said: "I am past hearing our president say he hates us. Us, being those who did not vote for him.
"I am past hearing him call us crazy, the enemy, radicalized leftist, shameful, and worse."
She continued: "We are your friends. We are your family members. We are not your enemy.
"You would probably even be surprised by how much we agree, but we are not being encouraged to think that way, because it undermines the narrative."
Back in 2024, ahead of the US elections, Trump suggested left-leaning political opponents were more of a threat than the likes of Russia or China, telling Fox News: "I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics."
On what 'making America great again' would really mean, Crow said: "[It] would be bringing us together to work for the greater good for all of us and for future generations to come.
"Maybe we the people could start demanding leadership that does just that. We deserve better. ALL of us deserve better."
It's not the first time the 64-year-old has taken a stand against Trump.
As Billboard reports, earlier this month Crow called for the President to be 'impeached and imprisoned' after his name cropped up multiple times in the latest release of the Epstein files.
Taking to Instagram once more in reference to the files, she said, in part: "We’re just going to act like it never happened or that it’s fake.
"Who are we if we do not stand up for children who are knowingly being [peddled] to rich leaders all over the world.
"Trump needs to be impeached and imprisoned along with every other person … Democrat, Republican, American or foreign who knew this was going on and never said anything.”
Trump has long denied any wrongdoing in connection to the late, disgraced financier. At the same time, Department of Justice deputy attorney general Todd Blanche said there was no cause explore further investigation into the president's involvement.
