Sex Pistols star John Lydon has publicly backed
Donald Trump in the upcoming US
election, saying he’d be “daft as a brush not to” vote for him.
The
British rocker – known to many as Johnny Rotten – resides in America and said he will be voting for the president, despite supporting democrat
Hillary Clinton in 2016 and
Barack Obama before that. In an interview with the Guardian, John said he supports Trump because of the
economy.
Asked if he would be voting for the
Republican candidate, John said: “I’d be daft as a brush not to. He’s the only sensible choice now that Biden is up – he’s incapable of being the man at the helm.”
The paper also said that he produced a Make America Great Again cap during their video call interview.
John’s comments echo those he made during a separate interview on
BBC NewsDay.Last week, he said (via
Washington Times): “He’s an individual thinker, I’ll give him that for a start. He’s not the most lovable fellow on God’s earth, but I cannot see the opposition as offering me anything by way of a solution.”
He added: “It’s bad person or not. I don’t want a politician running this world anymore.”READ MORE:
