Eminem slams Trump in profane video

-

Eminem has unleashed a profane lyrical tirade against President Donald Trump — saying he “came to stomp” and taking aim at Trump’s Twitter habits, policy, appearance and supporters.

The rapper on Tuesday unveiled The Storm ,a 4½-minute freestyle rap video recorded Friday that aired as part of BET’s Hip Hop Awards.

Eminem slammed the Republican president as “a kamikaze who will probably cause a nuclear holocaust” before criticizin­g Trump’s ongoing campaign against NFL national anthem protests.

“But this is his form of distractio­n, plus he gets an enormous reaction when he attacks the NFL, so we focus on that instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada. All these horrible tragedies and he’s bored and would rather cause a Twitter storm with the Packers,” he rapped.

He later mentioned NFL free agent quarterbac­k Colin Kaepernick, who’s credited with launching the ongoing anthem protests.

Eminem also took down Trump’s recently unveiled plan for tax cuts, questionin­g: “then who’s going to pay for his extravagan­t trips back and forth with his fam to his golf resorts and his mansions?”

The 44-year-old rapper closed out his rant with a message to his fans who support Trump, saying “I’m drawing in the sand a line, you’re either for or against.” He added that people who don’t support the president love the military and the country, but “hate Trump.”
