"He's brainwashing them" - Eminem speaks about Donald Trump in viral TikTok video
Eminem went viral online after a video of him criticizing Donald Trump in a TikTok video did the rounds on the internet. In the clip, he said that the politician is "brainwashing" the public into "thinking something great is going to happen" but nothing has happened yet.
"I will say this, he talks a good one. And if you’re in his base…let’s say you’re going to the rallies or whatever, you watch him on TV, you hear him talking this sh*t, there’s part of me that understands, like, alright, he’s somehow still got them because he’s brainwashing them into thinking something great is going to happen. Nothing’s happening," he said.
Several individuals took to the comments section of @PopularLiberal's re-post of the video and mentioned that the rapper's "perspective is flawed." They called him a "selfish brat" and said that he was "jealous and bitter."
While several individuals slammed the rapper for his opinions on the former President and his supporters, some Twitter users backed his views.
Eminem criticized Donald Trump in a 2017 interview
This is not the first time the rapper has spoken against the politician. In 2017, Eminem spoke to Vulture and expressed his hate towards Donald Trump. He addressed Trump and said that he makes him angry and that the country can develop only if he resigns.
Marshall Bruce Mathers III, a.k.a. Eminem, referred to Trump's campaign speech where he called Mexican immigrants criminals and added that this was the moment he realized that things would take a turn for the worse if he is in charge of the country.
"The people that support him are the people he cares about the least and they don't even realize it," he said.
BuzzFeed News revealed in 2019 that Marshall was questioned by the US Secret Service regarding the lyrics of his single, The Ringer. A report revealed that the song reportedly included inappropriate lyrics that targeted Trump. Marshall's legal team was also present when he was being questioned.
The 50-year-old has released 11 albums so far. His latest album, Music to be Murdered By, came out in January 2020.
