Another rock star went after Trump. Is something building?

Following the lead of Bruce Springsteen and his anti-Trump rants this month (which REALLY got under Trump’s skin), Tom Morello has also gone after the Orange Man.

At a performance at an event called Boston Calling on Saturday (May 25), Morello (a Harvard grad, by the way), expressed solidarity with his old school as well as with Springsteen and Taylor Swift, another target of Trump’s insane Truth postings.

Speaking in front of a backdrop that read “FUCK TRUMP,” Morello said, “Bruce is going after Trump because Bruce, his whole life, he’s been about truth, justice, democracy, equality. And Trump is mad at him because Bruce draws a bigger audience. F——— that guy.”

He also told fans “This may be the last big event before they throw us all in jail.”
