Pop icon and political activist Barbra Streisand takes aim at President Donald Trump in the lyric video for “Don’t Lie to Me,” the first single from her 36th studio album, the pointedly titled Walls. Written and directed by Streisand, the video intersperses lyrics from the song—which include bon mots such as “Why can’t you feel the tears I cried today?/Cried today, cried today”—with scenes of environmental disasters, the March for Our Lives rallies, and protests over Supreme Court Justice, proud beer guzzler, and alleged sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh.
In a recent Billboard interview, Streisand refused to even say Trump’s name, referring to him as “Liar in Chief” and “Groper in Chief.” She calls “Don’t Lie to Me” a “protest…about this unprecedented time in our history.”
