With the results of the US Presidential election confirmed, we can now say with no doubt that President Trump has come into power. Akin to an "American Brexit", this situation has been criticised by many in the international stage. Brexit has serious implications for the EU and UK, as does the new presidency which in no doubt throws much of politics into question.
However, what does Damon Albarn, Blur's renowned frontman got to do with President Trump?
In November 2015, Damon Albarn was interviewed about President Donald Trump. What has he got to say? Here's what:
What about American politics? Any thoughts on Donald Trump?
Hmm. Maybe we could get him to do "Parklife" with us!
Earlier last year, Damon Albarn also branded Donald Trump ‘a chump’ during New York show. In a show promoting The Magic Whip, Blur played a rousing version of ’13’ opener ‘Tender’, with Albarn taking a shot at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during the song’s outro, singing “Don’t fall for Donald Trump/because he’s a chump.”
As the lights switched on at the end of the song, the frontman sarcastically commented “democracy, right?”
We guess America really did 'fall' for Trump- we should have listened to Damon Albarn's wise words!
