On May 25, Tom Morello played a concert in Boston and violated Donald Trump violently-possibly a reaction to the US president’s claims about Bruce Springsteen.
Numerous anti-trump statements by Tom Morello
Not only did the musician’s words against the politician, but also his stage background were accordingly selected. There was read in capital letters “Fuck Trump”.
According to “Independent”, Morello also said: “Bruce is going against Trump because Bruce has worked for truth, justice, democracy and equality all his life. And Trump is angry with him because Bruce puts on a larger audience. Fuck on the guy!”
Morello also joked that it could be the “last big event before they all throw us into prison”. He then showed the inscription on the back of his guitar: “Fuck Ice”.
Trump: “Withdrawal plum of a rocker”
To understand: After Bruce Springsteen published an EP with live recordings of a last tour, on which statements by the musician can also be heard of appearances in which he sharply criticized Donald Trump, he did not let it sit on him. Trump called Springsteen, among other things, a “owed shrink plum of a rocker” and shared a video on his X-Canal, in which he hits jumping steels with a golf ball on the head.
In the past, Tom Morello has been critical of the current President of the United States. In 2020 he complained about a group of Trump supporters: inside, who used a song by Rage Against The Machine for a political campaign. Previously, he called Donald Trump an “orange demagogue” in an interview with “NME”. In 2017, the now 60-year-old labeled the back of his guitar with “Fuck Trump”.
Neil Young and Taylor Swift are also not Trump fans
Neil Young also defended Bruce Springsteen against Trump’s Internet attack. On May 20, he posted a statement on his website and wrote directly to the politician: “Stop about thinking about what rock musicians say. Better think about how you can save America out of the mess that you have done. Taylor Swift is also right. Bruce, as I think.
Taylor Swift was also in Trump’s crossfire after she had spoken out in the election campaign for Trump’s democratic opposite candidate Kamala Harris. Donald Trump reacted to her political stance with a derogatory comment on Truth Social, in which he wrote that she was no longer “hot” – an attempt to publicly downgrade her.
