AceShowbiz - Macklemore is known for being an anti-Donald Trump supporter, and he made it even clear how he felt toward the President at his sold out concert in Tempe, Arizona on October 14. In a video that is posted on YouTube, the "Thrift Shop" rapper is seen going around the stage as he leads the crowd in chanting "F**k Donald Trump!" during his "FTD (F**k Donald Trump) Pt. 2" performance.
"Now, we protest when we see the tour bus/ Too scare to get out, that's why the door is shut/ You politics are like Starburst pack," he spits his line after the chant. The cheers get louder when Macklemore continues, "Nobody f**ks with the orange one."
One of the concertgoers, Vanessa Richards, told Fox News that the 34-year-old rapper gave a great and moving speech about inclusiveness, kindness, immigration and acceptance during the concert. Richards said that Macklemore told the crowd, "Everyone should be welcome here no matter which side of the 'line' you stood on. We should be welcoming and encouraging everyone to live the American Dream."
Richards also revealed that the "F**k Donald Trump" chant was one of the louder parts of the concert and nobody seemed to disagree with the chant. "You didn't hear any boos or anything," the concertgoer stated. Richards added that almost the entire crowd held up their middle fingers with Macklemore during the performance.
After Trump was elected as the new president in November 2016, the "Can't Hold Us" rapper posted a picture of his sleeping daughter on Instagram and revealed how he felt toward the result.
"I am disappointed, shocked and shaken at my core by what has transpired tonight," he wrote. "I had a sick feeling in my gut, riddled with anxiety as the polls started coming in. After hours of a growing pit in my stomach, it was over."
Macklemore was not the first rapper who led crowd in an anti-Trump chant. On August 26, Eminem shared his hatred toward Trump during his performance at 2017 Reading Festival, which led the Detroit rapper to start a similar chant by saying, "When I say F**k, you say Trump."
