In a recent interview, John Legendwas hitting out at the president of the United States on Twitter again. "You can't be impeached if you resign first" he wrote in response to Donald Trump’s latest social media missive. “Just a thought.”
“I feel like it’s not super controversial,” he explains that afternoon. “I think Trump is an embarrassment to the country. And his approval rating is terrible.”
“Well, [Trump’s] an entertainer, too, in a New York way,” says Legend. “When he is criticising something, he is usually projecting. So, he calls people liars because he is a liar. He talks about the entertainment business because he rose through the entertainment business. He talks about people being corrupt, because he is corrupt. He talks about people being violent because he encourages violence. So, he’s usually projecting when he criticises someone.” Legend and his wife are active in the resistance against Trump, ignoring fans on social media who tell them to “stay in your lane”.
“Artists, I think, by constitution and disposition, are just more liberal than the average population. They tend to want progress and change,” he says, “and they also tend to have worlds that are more diverse maybe than the average person.”
