TESTAMENT guitarist Alex Skolnick has slammed the Trump administration’s handling of the outbreak of of COVID-19.
He said:
“Watching this WH press briefing – every speaker praising the President’s ‘extraordinary leadership.’ Even if that were true (which it’s obviously not), this is not how it’s done here. What country is this? Who are we? How did we get here? Is anyone buying this horsesh-t?! WtF”
He added a “face screaming in fear” emoji.
Fans responded to the statement saying:
“They’re just making sure [Donald Trump‘s] ego is soothed because his precious market numbers are in the tank and he probably won’t shut up about it,”
Skolnick replied:
“Exactly. I wasn’t a fan of George W Bush but after 9/11 – putting aside the Iraq debacle to follow – at least he was able convey a sense of reassurance during a time of emergency. And I don’t recall him – or any other President – getting praised by staff as if in a hostage video.”
