18 musicians who are clearly against Donald Trump for US president
[Photo courtesy Wikimedia Commons]
We couldn't possibly put together a complete list of bands who are against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, since most—if not all—of our scene seems to be against him. Still, our favorite musicians have made some pretty great statements opposing his bid for the White House. Here are just a few highlights from the scene's anti-Trump movement:
Tom Morello, Rage Against The Machine
Morello is pretty intensely against the candidate, and will respond with political facts toward people who want to learn more. Plus, this year he put together Prophets Of Rage, which could be called an anti-GOP band in its origin.

Trump claimed US judge incapable just because he's of Mexican heritage. That's the dictionary definition of racism. https://t.co/6SCaTPefJ4

Chuck Comeau, Simple Plan
Comeau provided some commentary on one of the presidential debates in a concise tweet:
So embarrassing to watch Trump lie, misinform people, prey on people's ignorance and be a complete demagogue. Complete cringe-fest.

The White Stripes
So, one positive side to Donald Trump running for president is that it got the White Stripes back together. Not to make new music, but to make fun of the guy. (We’ll take what we can get.)
Nick Ghanbarian, Bayside
Nick delivered a pretty great burn on Trump’s interesting Twitter game.
I always have to check the date on Trump tweets to see if it was from when he was an idiot 4 years ago, 1 year ago, 1 week ago or 1 hour ago

AJ Rebollo, Issues
Not everyone who is against Trump is a Hillary Clinton supporter. AJ Rebollo is one such example: He’s not a fan of either candidate. But especially not a fan of Trump.
Hillary is garbage. Trump is garbage-r

Van Jones said it best. If Trump were black & said the things he's said/done the things he's done, imagine how different things would be

Jake Marquis, Sleep On It
Now this is just threatening.
Can we send Trump to wherever all those defective Galaxy Note 7's ended up?

Stephen Gomez, The Summer Set
The Summer Set have started to ask fans to not vote for Trump at shows. That’s a pretty good strategy. And Stephen is about as against Trump as you can get.
DONALD TRUMP HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

How the fuck has Hillary run a “negative campaign?” She literally just posts clips of things Trump has ACTUALLY SAID!!!

Ben Langford-Biss, As It Is
Too many Trump signs is too much for Ben.
Driving through the middle of nowhere in FL & GA seeing way too many Trump signs ��

Alex Gaskarth, All Time Low
He certainly speaks his mind.
How is it still a discussion? Trump is a gigantic piece of shit. Irrefutable. If you're not happy with the alternative, time to speak up.

Tom DeLonge
When it comes to issues, plenty of people have plenty of reasons to see problems with Trump. For Tom, it’s how the candidate deals with women’s rights.
Been practicing on how to tell my daughter that Trump is a douche,I should just let her listen to his new rant about women-What an asshole.
— Tom DeLonge (@tomdelonge) October 8, 2016
SWMRS
There’s no questioning where SWMRS stand when it comes to Trump.
lol fuck donald trump.

Telle Smith, The Word Alive
Trump’s rude statements have offended Telle.
Reason # 9999999 of why nobody on this planet should vote for @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/HZ1ulI0iTb
President promoting rape culture!?
— TELLE (@tellesmith) October 8, 2016
Lynn Gunn, PVRIS
Calling someone an “orange faced gremlin” says all you need to say. Lynn’s not a fan.
If you truly care & believe in tolerance & empathy for all people on this earth, an orange faced gremlin like Trump can't be in office.

Into It. Over It.
The real question at hand has to do with Halloween. And not supporting Trump.
how many ironic jerks dressing up like trump are gonna ruin halloween?

Max Bemis, Say Anything
Max has the ultimate burn. (He’s got plenty of gems in his Twitter account.)
New York Times has obtained part of Trump's butthole records and found evidence of his head
— Max Bemis (@maxbemis) October 2, 2016
we should keep tweeting about how crazy Trump is for the good of mankind but it's getting to the point where it goes without saying
— Max Bemis (@maxbemis) October 1, 2016
Death Cab For Cutie
Death Cab wrote an anti-Trump song as part of the “30 Days, 30 Songs” project against the candidate.

Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day
Armstrong notes that there has been a certain level of comedy to some of Trump’s stunts.
do u think Trump will take off his mask and reveal its actually Andy Kaufman?
— Billie Joe Armstrong (@BJAofficial) March 4, 2016
Corey Taylor, Slipknot
Holy moly, does Corey hate Trump. No one is as vocal as he is on social media in showing his ultimate disgust with the candidate. He even changed his Twitter name to “#FuckTrump’16” during part of the race.
*Fuck Trump.
Black Lives Matter.
Just in case someone misreads the earlier one.
