System Of A Down drummer John Dolmayan has praised Donald Trump, calling him “the most attacked president in history yet the greatest friend to minorities.”
Dolmayan also shared a meme featuring Trump's claim that his administration has done more for the African American community “than any president since Abraham Lincoln.”
The drummer wrote, “Let's not let the narrative that's being spun make us forget the truth of this statement. The most attacked president in history yet the greatest friend to minorities! Don't believe it? Look at the stats. Don't like it, doesn't change the truth of it.”
In a separate Instagram post, Dolmayan shared a photo of retired St. Louis police captain David Dorn, who was shot by people who allegedly broke into a pawn shop after protests over George Floyd's death turned violent.
Dolmayan's views are in sharp contrast to those of System singer Serj Tankian, who called this week for Trump to resign and described him as “completely useless” over his handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
