Eminem got 90,000 people to chant "Fuck Trump" at a concert over the weekend

Source: Detroit Metro Times

Just like every other level-headed person in this country right now, Eminem doesn't like Donald Trump. If that wasn't clear to you when he released a surprise single last fall called "Campaign Speech," his words at some shows in Europe over the weekend really solidify his feelings towards POTUS.

Slim Shady's smear campaign of the president started this past Thursday night when he played a show in Glasgow, Scotland while sporting a "Fack Trump: shirt on stage. Inbetween songs Eminem addressed the crowd. “Scotland, you might have to be our new home because right now shit ain’t going so well in the States,” he said. “I just wanna take this moment out right now and say motherfuck Donald Trump.”

And just a few days later at the Reading Festival, Eminem headlined the main stage where 90,000 fans gathered for his show. Eminem took the opportunity to get all of the people to go along with a "Fuck Trump!" chant. “I don’t want to cause any controversy so I won’t say no names but this motherfucker, Donald Trump, I can’t stand,” he cried out, “So before we get into this next song, we would like to request something of you. When I say ‘Fuck,’ you say ‘Trump’.”

who did a video right before vote during John Kerry to get people out to vote. It showed people putting on black hoodies and voting, in solidarity we wore black hoodies to vote that year.

Also, I have tried to look up that song that you attributed to Eminem (the YouTube video has less than one hundred views), but can't find it. Perhaps it has a different title than the video you linked to.

But if I HAD to pick between the two... Senator Mathers all the way (I can't believe I just typed that )

P.S. The Detroit Red Wings should cancel Kid Rock's performances at the new stadium.

Just as with the marchs, we must let people know how much that man is actually hated.
