Before Donald Trump was elected as President of the United States, Eminem had made his feelings toward the reality TV personality clear. In October of last year, he released the song "Campaign Speech," in which the rapper which said, "You say Trump don't kiss ass like a puppet? / 'Cause he runs his campaign with his own cash for the funding? / And that's what you wanted? / A fuckin' loose cannon who's blunt with his hand on the button." Then in February, before the inauguration, Eminem rapped on the Big Sean song "No Favours": "I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch / I'll make his whole brand go under."
So his opinion should be pretty obvious at this point: Eminem is not a fan of the current president. And it should be no surprise that he'd use his platform as headliner of Reading Festival to share his thoughts on the current state of American politics.
"So Reading," he told the 90,000 people in the audience. "I'm not about to stand up here and use this fuckin' stage for some kind of a platform to be all political and shit, and I don't want to cause any controversy, so I won't say no names—but this motherfucker Donald Trump I can't stand!"
The crowd began chanting "Fuck Donald Trump" on its own until Eminem took the lead. "When I say 'Fuck,' you say 'Trump," Eminem instructed. The chant went on a few seconds until Eminem said "'Cause he's got our country fucked up in America" and then jumped into his song "White America."
