We know from Wikipedia that Cher has fought Epstein–Barr virus and chronic fatigue syndrome. Now we learn she has asthma.
She also has a way of firing up Donald Trump’s base.
In a much-maligned tweet, the 70-year-old pop icon said she had asthma and worried that the House repeal of Obamacare would end funding for — what. It’s unclear.

Maybe she meant asthma research. But conservative media assumed it was for the multimillionaire’s out-of-pocket expenses.
A sampling of snears:

Cher, you managed to pay for all your plastic surgery, surely you can pay for asthma treatment? Also aren’t you supposed to be in Canada? https://t.co/1rbpZ4JKzU

@3lectric5heep So Cher’s net worth is $300+ million and she needs government health insurance to pay for her asthma…does she need an EBT card too?

I can’t stop laughing! Does Cher really expect us to believe that she needs Funding for her asthma? https://t.co/xb3HDTnhXQ

@cher Well we could cut abortion funding and squeeze your asthma funding in, how about it?

@cher How do you know it doesn’t cover asthma, or battered women? You don’t know anything about it. They haven’t finished it.
