Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher has slammed Donald Trump, calling the current occupant of the White House an “orange s**tstain” and “total racist.” Kelliher discussed his political views during an appearance on the “Rock & Roll Beer Guy” podcast.
Asked why he thinks a large number of people seem to believe unfounded conspiracy theories about the pandemic, Kelliher said, “It all stems from these idiot Trump supporters who believe everything that this orange s**tstain says. 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.”
Addressing Trump's penchant for blaming things on his predecessor, Kelliher remarked, “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.”
Kelliher added that he is “losing faith in the American people,” saying “Why is everybody so into this guy? He's a f**king failed reality-show host.” Asked why Trump's job approval rating still hovers around 40 percent, Kelliher replied, “America is dumb — people are dumbed the f**k down so hard, especially compared to other countries.”
Mastodon is currently working on material for the follow-up to 2017's Emperor Of Sand album for a tentative 2021 release.
