It’s no secret that Donald Trump holds a grudge, but it might surprise you who is on the President’s bad side.

Recently, it became clear that the president has few supporters in Hollywood. The Trump administration has plans to release a COVID-19 PSA in an effort to “defeat despair and inspire hope,” and hoped to include messages from A-list celebrities.

However, according to the Washington Post, it was difficult for the President to find celebrities to participate in the video, since his criteria included them not criticizing him or his policies.

The article explains, the Trump administration "vetted celebrities for the public health campaign based on whether they had ever criticized the president, or supported former president Barack Obama, gay rights or same-sex marriage. Of at least 274 celebrities under consideration, only 10 appear to have been approved, according to a document the lawmakers obtained."

This took Billie Eilish out of the running, who has publicly spoken out against Trump in the past.

According to the documents, Eilish was not approved because she was "not a Trump Supporter" and "destroying our country and everything we care about."

Interestingly, this quote seems to be taken directly from what Eilish said about Trump in August. In a video, Eilish explains, "Donald Trump is destroying our country and everything we care about."

Watch the video below:

Eilish was not the only celebrity who was decided against for the PSA. Jennifer Lopez, Adam Levine, Johnny Depp, and George Lopez were also all cut from the list of potentials.

The ten approved celebrities are: Billy Ray Cyrus, Miranda LambertGarth Brooks, CeCe WinansMarc AnthonyShulem LemmerEnrique IglesiasDr. Mehmet Oz, and Dwyane Wade.
