On 40th Anniversary Of Live Aid, Bob Geldof Denounces “Thuggery” Of Trump, Vance, Musk As He Questions Why Charity Has Become “Almost An Embarrassment”


Bob Geldof has denounced Donald Trump, Elon Musk and JD Vance and talked about charity as Live Aid Turns 40 on the BBC.

“The thuggery of Musk, and Vance and Trump, this confederacy of dunces, these abject fools,” he said at an event launching a set of BBC Live Aid shows late last week. “These ketamine-crazed narcissists swing their f**king hedge trimmers around their heads and say, this weekend, we’re feeding U.S. AID to the wood chipper,” he added of the end of the U.S. Agency for International Development. Forty years ago, Live Aid’s benefit concert and its catchy “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” tune was celebrated as a generator of millions to help poor people suffering from famine around the world.
