Regarding US political drama, 2024 certainly hasn’t disappointed. Over the past few weeks, the imminent presidential election has seen President Joe Biden pull out due to health concerns, and Donald Trump defy death as a bullet whizzed through his right ear. As Kamala Harris prepares to counter Trump in the election race, veteran singer Rod Stewart has taken sides by poking fun at Trump during a live performance.
Rod Stewart Mocks Donald Trump on US Tour
Although Stewart hasn’t rivalled Bono or Bob Geldof in terms of political activism, he has caused a couple of stirs in recent weeks. In June, the ‘Maggie May’ singer made headlines after flying a Ukrainian flag while performing in Germany to a mixed reception.
The 79-year-old is currently touring the US with a run of dates at the Colosseum in Las Vegas, which began on July 24th and will conclude on August 7th. During one of his recent shows, Stewart suddenly halted the performance to present a meme on the screen behind him. The image was a Twitter/X post depicting Donald Trump through the years, with his skin turning a deeper shade of orange as the years progress.
Trump’s Fake Tan and Stewart’s Political Humor
Due to his supposed fake tan, Trump has received his fair share of mockery over the past few years. Though such memes are intended for some light-hearted amusement, the political rhetoric is evident. The caption to the social media post behind Stewart referenced Trump’s comments about opponent Harris, where he said he was not aware that she was Black until “all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went… she became a Black person.”
The humorous tweet then captioned a fake response to Trump’s statement: “I didn’t know he was orange until a number of years ago when he happened to turn orange. I respect either one, but he obviously doesn’t, and now he wants to be known as Orange. All of a sudden, he made a turn and became an Orange person. I think someone should look into that.”
Stewart’s Social Media Buzz
Stewart later reposted the image to his Instagram page for any fans who missed the show. Naturally, the comments section took off like wildfire, with fans divided over their political orientation.
Nevertheless, Stewart is a veteran of the music business who knows that any vaguely political statement is likely to cause a backlash from certain quarters. He would have considered this likely outcome before deciding to poke fun at Trump ahead of the upcoming election on November 5th.
