Jon Bon Jovi:
Trump’s Candidacy ‘Scares the Sh*t Out of Me’
by Daniel Nussbaum 25 Sep 2016
Bon Jovi frontman Jon Bon Jovi is concerned that Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump has a chance to win the White House in November.
In an interview
with music website Gigwise this weekend, the 54-year-old rocker said that
Trump’s political ascent in the United States, along with former UKIP leader
Nigel Farage’s rise in the UK, represents “history repeating itself.”
“It’s an unbelievable time in American politics and it scares the sh*t out of me,” Bon Jovi said.
“I pray he’s not the next president of the United States. It’s incredible that
the man can lie to you. You tell him here’s factually what you said that’s
incorrect and then he tells it the same [again].”
Bon Jovi — who has performed
at fundraisers for the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, and
last week helped Bill Clinton close
out his final Clinton Global Initiative conference in New York —
blamed the media for blowing Trump’s candidacy “out of proportion.”
Still, the rocker seemed concerned that Trump could win
the election.
“If Hillary Clinton has a bad debate next week then we
could be in for trouble,” he added.
In an interview
with the Mirror this weekend, Bon Jovi defended Clinton over claims that
she is not healthy enough to be president. Concerns about Clinton’s health
received renewed attention this month after the candidate appeared to
stumble while getting into a van outside a September 11 memorial event in New
York City. Clinton’s campaign later said the candidate had been diagnosed with
pneumonia.
“I think she’s in good health, she’s in [a] much better
way and you can completely understand why she needed a moment,” he told the
paper. “You get sick running around like that.”
Bon Jovi’s comments come as other American rock stars
have weighed in on the 2016 race.
In portions of an interview with Rolling Stone published
Friday, Bruce
Springsteen slammed Trump as a
“moron” whose candidacy, he said, represents a “tragedy for our democracy.”
“The republic is under siege by a moron, basically. The
whole thing is tragic,” the E Street Band leader told the outlet.
Other singers who have ripped the Republican
candidate in recent weeks include Green Day frontman Billie
Joe Armstrong, Cher
and Barbra Streisand.
