Morrissey: Donald Trump "can’t be allowed to represent America"
Morrissey has never been one to stay silent on matters in the world. For instance, earlier this year, he played New York's Madison Square Garden and requested that it be entirely meat-free (it wasn’t). Regardless, the former Smiths frontman has never shied away from the spotlight of debate-induced topics.
Throughout a variety of outlets, he recently elaborated on his controversial comments towards President Obama’s “whiteness” and Presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

“Obama, is he white inside? That’s a very logical question—but I think he probably is,” the singer confidently claimed in an interview with Larry King.
While speaking with The Daily Beast, he touched on Republican candidate Donald Trump. “Can you imagine the international stage announcing the arrival of President Trump? On the basis of his name alone he can’t be allowed to represent America,” he said. “FOX News were pushing Jeb Bush insanely until they realized that Trump had jumped ahead, so now they don’t even mention Jeb Bush… which proves how insincere their words were in the first place.”

When focusing on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, however, his tone noticeably changes. “I think she shows an earnest composure, whereas all of the Republican candidates are dangerously reactionary and occasionally insane. I don’t think Clinton has even begun to dig into the race yet, and when she does she will gain massive support. The world does not want to look at Donald Trump’s face for the years to come.”
Last year, Moz released his latest studio album, World Peace Is None Of Your Business.
