Green Day chant 'No Trump! No KKK! No fascist USA!' at American Music Awards
Their onslaught on the President-elect continues
Green Day’s relentless onslaught on President-elect Donald Trump continued at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles last night (20th November).
During their rip-roaring performance of ‘Bang Bang’ at Microsoft Theater, Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt launched into an impassioned chant of “No Trump! No KKK! No fascist USA!”

Outspoken critics of the incoming President, last week Billie Joe hit out at Trump and the Republican Party when the trio dropped by Kerrang! Radio to speak to Jake Thomson.
Billie Joe told Jake: “A lot of people are really freaked out and angry and confused. The vote was obviously kind of a protest vote for the people that actually voted him into office too because the establishment politics are so corrupt right now.
“But it’s hard because they voted in a dictator – someone that’s literally the first true fascist that America’s ever voted into office.”
He continued: “When Obama came in we didn’t vote against George Bush because he was white… we voted against his policies. With Donald Trump his platform started with saying that (Obama) wasn’t a US citizen – with that said he might as well as been calling him the n-bomb.”
Reflecting upon Trump’s proposed wall between the US and Mexico, Billie Joe added: “It’s basically like an introduction into some form of grotesque ethnic cleansing. The Republican Party is now officially a white nationalist party – no doubt about it, you can’t whitewash that. It’s very scary times.”
