Trump supporters call Rod Stewart’s strep throat ‘karma’ after ex-President’s ‘turning orange’ joke

Donald Trump's supporters suggested that Rod Stewart's recent struggle with strep throat is "karma" for ridiculing the former president's skin tone.

The "Maggie May" singer shared on Instagram Wednesday that he was "absolutely gutted" to cancel his 200th Las Vegas residency show just hours before he was set to perform.

“I’m desperately sorry to miss this 200th show celebration,” Stewart, 79, wrote.

“Most people can work with strep throat but obviously not me. I’m absolutely gutted. I’ve been looking forward to this concert for so long,” he continued.

“My deepest regrets for any inconvenience this has caused.”

While many fans wished the Grammy winner a quick recovery, some took the chance to mock Stewart after he had joked about Trump, 78, during a recent concert.

“Love u Rod but seems you got karma from your orange comment🤷🏻‍♀️ #wakeup,” one person wrote.

“No worries Rod since you’ve politically come out of the closet. TRUMP 2024,” another commented.

“I thought this was going to be an apology about Trump! #disappointed,” a third posted.

The backlash follows just days after the British musician joked about Trump during a performance in Las Vegas.

He quickly ignited controversy by displaying a tweet that mocked the Republican presidential candidate's changing skin tone.

“I didn’t know he was Orange until a number of years ago, when he happened to turn Orange,” the caption read, referencing Trump’s recent comments about Kamala Harris’ race.

“I respect either one, but he obviously doesn’t because all of a sudden he made a turn and he went — he became an Orange person. I think somebody should look into that.”

Meanwhile, news of Stewart's strep throat diagnosis surfaced shortly after he admitted that his "days are numbered."
