Mastodon’s Bill Kelliher didn’t mince words when it came to giving his thoughts on US President Donald Trump in an interview with The RRBG Podcast.
Speaking about their next album and their forthcoming contribution to Bill & Ted 3, the conversation soon lead to Kelliher being asked about smart people who believe lies about the coronavirus – and he didn’t hold back on ripping into the controversial president.
“It all stems from these idiot Trump supporters who believe everything that this orange shitstain says,” he began. “He’s so wobbly, it’s ridiculous that anyone would still, to this day, take him seriously and believe that he has your best interests in his agenda. He does not, and it’s obvious.”
He didn’t stop there, going on to say that Trump was a “total racist” that has “undone [the] American population.
“What it is, is he wants to blame everything on [former President Barack] Obama… ‘Cause he’s a total racist. So just out of spite, he wants to undo everything that Obama’s done. And in doing so, he’s undone the American population.”
He continued, “People are picking sides. Now it doesn’t matter what your beliefs are — you’re either Democrat or Republican. You can’t be bipartisan; you’re just one or the other to the death. It doesn’t matter what Donald Trump says — you just believe everything blindly.
“That’s why when if someone suggests that, ‘It’s a political thing,’ or, ‘It’s a ploy by the Democrats to make me look bad,’ it’s, like, ‘No. You’re looking bad on your own, buddy. You are completely capable of looking bad on your own.’ So that’s where it’s all stemming from. And now people are, ‘Oh, this is a hoax. We’re gonna do what we wanna do,’ and ‘freedom’ and all this bullshit.”

He concluded his rant against Trump by saying, “If everyone just stayed in their house for, like, three weeks, then this shit would be over with and we could about our lives.”
“But they won’t, because they wanna defy what they think are the Democrats, and for political motivations, to defy anybody who has any brains behind them, really, and science. They wanna just go outside and go back to work. And you can’t do that. We’re never gonna get back to work with this attitude.”
