METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett has issued his strongest condemnation yet of Donald Trump, comparing the new president’s inaugural address to the speeches that were made in Germany under Adolf Hitler’s rule and urging the American people to “reject the lies from the people in the new administraton.”
In a series of tweets, the METALLICA guitarist was especially critical of Trump’s inaugural address, which painted a bleak picture of life for some in the United States, promised to end what Trump called the “American carnage,” and work tirelessly to put “America first.”
Hammett wrote: “Trump’s Inaugural Address and his asking us to put America first sounds, to me, familiar to what was said in speeches going around Germany in the 1930’s …and later Russia in the 1940’s. Pay attention people Stand up for truth, compassion and togetherness. Don’t settle for anything less. Reject lies, Fear mongering, Misguided Anger. The system wants us divided, so it’s easier to control us emotionally.
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
LIKE IT OR NOT, WE NEED EACH OTHER TO OVERCOME THE BIGGER THREAT…
“I’m proud of America!!
