Green Day might have just released their brand-new single, "BANG BANG," but the veteran rock band is making headlines for a whole other reason and it involves Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
In the latest issue of Kerrang!, the Cali punk trio's lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong spoke candidly about the political landscape in the United States and went as far as comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler.
"The worst problem I see about Trump is who his followers are," the frontman said. "I actually feel bad for them, because they're poor, working-class people who can't get a leg up. They're pissed off and he's preyed on their anger. He just said, 'You have no options and I'm the only one, and I'm going to take care of it myself.' I mean, that's f**king Hitler, man!"
Armstrong said that he wished he was over-exaggerating, but he's speaking nothing but his truth. "Sometime maybe I do over-exaggerate with [George W] Bush. But with Trump, I just can't wait 'til he's gone," he explained.
