Phil Collins criticized Donald Trump as “nasty” and said he has an unwritten song titled “Fat People With Guns” about America.
During a Friday interview on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Phil Collins denounced Donald Trump, calling him “nasty” and saying his manner lacks the elegance traditionally associated with presidents. He contrasted Trump with historical commanders in chief and expressed personal dislike. Collins also revealed he has jotted down a provocative line for an unwritten song titled “Fat People With Guns,” which he says is about America.
He mused that Trump might attempt to override the constitutional two-term limit, although Trump recently dismissed that notion. Experts quoted warned that artists who criticize the nation itself risk swift audience backlash. The remarks come as Collins prepares for his upcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist.
