During a performance in Washington DC on Sunday, Billie Joe Armstrong, frontman for the band Green Day, was pictured holding aloft a representation of Donald Trump’s head, prompting swift backlash.
The ‘head’ was a plastic Trump mask with ‘idiot’ written on it.
The image was posted to a fan account on X:
Considering not even three weeks have passed since an attempt was made to shoot Trump dead, the reaction has been one of disgust.
Yes, liberals want to kill their political opponents, as we have recently seen.

As we have previously noted, Green Day have been ‘raging for the machine’ for some time now.
Armstrong, now aged 51 but still sporting bleached hair as if he is a teenager, often changes the words of the song ‘American Idiot’ from “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda,” to “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda.”
Many have pointed out that the original lyrics of American Idiot were embraced by Americans at the time who stood in opposition to the warmongering neocon administration led by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Ironic then that Trump is the only President of the modern era not to have sent Americans to war.
Armstrong clearly didn’t pay any attention to the reaction Jack Black and his Tenacious D band mate Kyle Gass received after declaring a desire that the shooter had not missed Trump just days afterwards.
The band were forced to cancel their entire tour and leave Australia in the wake of the comments.

Looks Like These Nobody’s Needed Some Free Publicity!-Compliments Of the Fabricated BullShit Propaganda Machine!-Music?- Sux It Needs To Justify Its Ignorant Life!-Most Probably Vaxxed So Its Just a Matter Of Time!-R.I.P. Morons!
Maybe Trump should hold up a Billie Joe Armstrong head, with the words “fake punk rocker” written on it.
Inciting violence. This is the reason the shooter took his shot, because the celebrities and the media said it was OK and the secret service gave him the opportunity.
When catering the stupid you must use stupid to remain popular. Think of it as Green Day’s Twisted Sister promo. But then again it could just be the ravings of a drugged out idiot.
Freedom of speech here.good for him to expose the orange imbecile
I do so hope people like you get violent soon. It’ll be funny to watch a bunch of skinny basement nerds try to be tough before they’re wiped off the planet.
This goes beyond freedom of speech obviously. And if I lived in the states I wouldn’t be supporting the Republicans or the Democrats – period!!
You are a malevolent dupe.
