(Opinion) Punk Rock Band Green Day’s lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, is very vocal about his disdain for President Donald J. Trump and the Republicans. In 2018 during a Cannes Lions performance, Armstrong said, “I f***ing hate Donald Trump so much. I used to scream ‘I hated George Bush.’ This one is a little different. This one is bad, it’s like acid gone bad.” Armstrong’s most recent outburst happened over the weekend and was directed at President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Elon Musk.
“Don’t want politicians to shut the fuck up?” Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong asked the crowd during “American Idiot.” “Don’t you want Elon Musk to shut the fuck up? Don’t you want Donald Trump to shut the fuck up?”
Later in the night, Armstrong altered the lyrics of “Jesus of Suburbia” from “Am I retarded, or am I just overjoyed?” to “Am I retarded, or am I just J.D. Vance?” In that same song, Armstrong also sang, “We are the kids of war and peace/From Ukraine to the Middle East” as opposed to “We are kids of war and peace/From Anaheim to the Middle East.”
Here is a list of the nasty and stupid things Armstrong has said:
- “Trump gives me diarrhea, you know? I don’t want to write a song about it”
- “F*** you, DOGE”
- “F*** you, Elon Musk”
- “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA”
- “I think that [Trump is] the most divisive leader of a country since Adolf Hitler”
- “F*** America, I’m renouncing my citizenship”
Billy Joe Armstrong is a perfect example of someone who is not grateful for all of the wonderful things that the United States has given him. He will never be able to recognize the great policies President Trump is putting in place to help all Americans.
He would rather sit in the dark and blame everyone but the Democrats for why things are so messed up right now. History should judge Armstrong as someone who hated America and did nothing but insult the good people who live here.
