Brits Want 'American Idiot' Song to Top Charts for Trump Visit

[left-of-center2012]

Some Brits may be humming a tune this summer that President Trump isn't too crazy about, the Evening Standard reports. A campaign to make Green Day's song "American Idiot" top the UK charts before Trump's July 13 visit is gaining traction, with its Facebook page surging past 12,000 followers as of this writing.

"If we ALL buy enough downloads of Green Day's 'American Idiot' between Friday 6th-Thursday 12th it will time PERFECTLY to hit No.1 the very day he arrives on UK soil!" the organizers posted. "Streaming counts too but less effective. Let's do this!"

Green Day lead singer Bill Joel Armstrong appeared to lend support with a now-deleted post—"...just going to leave this here," he wrote alongside a campaign screenshot—which is little surprise
considering the band's change of "American Idiot" lyrics from "the subliminal mind-**** America" to "subliminal mind-Trump America" at the 2016 MTV Europe Music Awards.

Trump is yet to comment, but earlier this year he expressed some sensitivity about British reaction to his visit, Bloomberg reported at the time.
He told British Prime Minister Theresa May he would only visit with a warmer welcome in the British press, but she said she was unable to control her country's journalists.

4. Like whatever's #1 on the British charts the week he visits is going to matter to Dump ...

It'll be more for 'their own benefit' than anything, methinks ...

I bet if you put him on the spot, Donald Trump could probably name like 15 musical artists and like 20 song titles off the top of his head ... there's no doubt in my mind Dump absolutely has NO INTEREST in music and knows absolutely nothing about it compared to an average American.

6. You're right. He is clueless about music...

even if he gets endorsed by Nugent, Kid Rock or Kenye he has no idea who they are or wht type of music they play. I doubt he knows very much about any type of music either. Probably the last time he danced to anything remotely "modern" was at an out-of-date NYC disco in the 80s.

7. danced? did you say danced? ha ha

He's clueless there as well. Take a look, 12 second mark or so:

He's dancing like an English sheepdog standing on his hind legs, no clue to beat, tempo or likely melody. This clip demonstrates again a far worse flaw than unskilled dancing though: His vulgar lack of dignity and basic respect for others humanity. I hope the old guy who fell is okay.

What a hoot. Hell, I just noticed something else in this clip. At the beginning when he waves and turns away, he has no idea where he's going as he makes this long meandering arc to someplace??? "Over here, Mr. President". What a weird dude.

12. He isn't "dancing" but rather sort of standing there

rocking back and forth. It reminds me of a mother holding a baby trying to get it to sleep or calm down. Maybe that is what Melania is doing with him.

He is always so proud of being a miserable excuse for a human being...Howard Stern, Billy Bush, etc can get him to admit the worst behavior but with him it is bragging. He is one sick fuck!
