Tom Morello Joins Bruce Springsteen and Harvard in Trump Standoff: ‘F-ck That Guy’

Tom Morello slammed Donald Trump during his set at Boston Calling Music Festival in solidarity with Bruce Springsteen and Harvard.

When Rage Against the Machine ‘s Tom Morello took the stage at Boston Calling Music Festival on Sunday evening, his solo set featured a pointed message. On the screen behind him, a graphic compiled nearly two dozen buttons that read and spelled out “Fuck Trump,” labeled the president a “tyrant,” and referred to him as the “Hater in Chief.” Addressing the crowd, Morello said: “Welcome, brothers and sisters, to the last big event before they throw us all in jail.” At another moment in his set, Morello flipped his guitar over to reveal a message printed on the back that read: “Fuck I.C.E.” Since taking office, the Trump administration has shown repeated noncompliance with court orders mandating due process for migrants in its immigration practices that have led to the detainment and deportation of U.S. citizens, too.
