In fact, the rock legend has repeatedly ripped apart Trump and his administration throughout the president’s entire term in the White House. Among his many takedowns of Trump, the GN’R frontman once called the president a “repulsive excuse for a person with a sick agenda.” The singer also lambasted members of Trump’s administration for seemingly discouraging social distancing during the pandemic. In a three-part twe...

Sex Pistols’ Johnny Rotten Goes Full MAGA, Calls Trump “the Only Hope”
Former Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten, a.k.a. John Lydon, made good on his threat to vote for Donald Trump in Tuesday’s presidential election. Lydon called into Good Morning Britain on Wednesday to discuss his support for Trump. “It makes complete sense to me to vote for a person who actually talks about my kind of people,” Lydon commented. “Trump is not a politician.

How unusually exceptionally wonderful is that for people like me, working class people.” “We’re bored of ‘intellectual’ left-wing ideas,” Lydon continued. “We can’t take much of you. You talk twaddle. Everything you do – you just miss the point of who the general population are.” The interview then took an awkward turn when Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid asked Lydon about Trump’...

And the Blue Wave never truly arrived for Democratic challenger Joe Biden. While the world awaits a winner, musicians and celebrities weighed in on a nerve-racking night.
