The anti-Trump propaganda keeps coming like a freight train.
Stand-up comedians have always been notorious for bringing politics into their routines, and it’s usually met with mixed reception.
Musicians are rarely hyper-political in their performances, but one British legend’s show contains an anti-Trump segment and was met with resounding boos in Louisiana.
In 1965, Roger Waters co-founded the band Pink Floyd.
Earlier this year, Waters released his first rock album in 25 years and is now currently touring the United States.
Waters has politicized his show and it contains a song called “Pigs,” in which he completely bashes President Trump with graphic, childish images.
The British rocker has shocked his Trump supporter fans with this particular segment of his show, but the good people of New Orleans weren’t having it.
Breitbart reports:
Pink Floyd fans booed Roger Waters at a concert in New Orleans over the weekend after the rocker displayed several profane images meant to degrade President Donald Trump on the giant screens behind him.
While Waters performed “Pigs (Three Different Ones),” several images were displayed for fans to see, according to the New Orleans Advocate.
Concertgoers were shown images of Trump as a baby, another of the president being held by Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of Trump wearing a KKK hood, and another image of a naked Trump with a small penis.
The images ended with the words ‘Trump is a pig’ on the screens, as a giant pig floated over the audience.
Fans booed the politically-charged performance, while several others may have walked out on the show, the Advocate reported.
The former Pink Floyd bassist’s Houston, Texas, show saw a similar reaction from fans, with some blasting the performance’s overtly political tone, according to WBRZ.
The U.K.-born bassist has long been a vocal opponent of President Trump.
A week before Americans went to the polls in November, Waters compared then-candidate Trump’s political rise to that of Adolf Hitler in the 1930s.
“It was insidious in Germany in the 30s when National Socialism came. And National Trumpism feels a bit less insidious, but it’s just as dangerous,” Waters said during an interview on WTF With Marc Maron.
The rocker has also regularly attacked Trump during his concert performances.
Last October, Waters slammed Trump during a politically-charged performance at the Desert Trip music festival in Indio, California.
While Waters sang lyrics from Pink Floyd’s 1977 hit ‘Pigs (Three Different Ones)’ images of Trump in a KKK hood, holding a Nazi salute, and holding a giant sex toy like a rifle flashed across the screen.
Those images are a grossly hyperbolic insinuation about Trump and his character.
And it’s even crazier when you consider it’s coming from a British ma, because he doesn’t have a segment of his show dedicated towards Brexit.
It’s ludicrous.
I got the sense Roger Waters doesn’t care for Trump at #DesertTrippic.twitter.com/XJCrsm4ZFY

Waters doesn’t seem to care if he loses fans in pursuit of his political liberal agenda, but he’s in the twilight of his career, so it doesn’t matter much anyway.
Ruck Foger….and who are these halfwit Brits to complain about OUR president!…..Pull the idiot’s visa!
and charge tax money on what they make here, off U.S. citizens .
I’m sure we can get our President to take care of that!! ? ?
you have got that Right Halfwits GO TRUMP GO
“IF” the Brits are so F—ing smart why are they having such a CLUSTER F— with the MUDSLIMES????? Hey Roger GFY! Go home and straighten out England first A–HOLE!!
These celebrities amaze me. Just because they can act or sing they seem to have the notion that they have superior intelligence. In most cases it’s probably inferior. I’d love to be able to quiz some of them on policies and history of our country.
Honestly. What Waters ascribes to what he calls “Trumpism” is actually the inherent danger of the current atmosphere of anti-Trump sentiments. If anyone is in danger, it certainly is NOT an anti-Trumpite.
The media coverage in the UK is as bad as the coverage is here. Just think if we sent our musicians to another country and put down their leaders.
yeah, most countries our people wouldn’t make it back alive.
So sick of “entertainers” sharing their political views! If I wanted politics I’d find a political rally or something. Who cares what entertainers think! I’m there for the music or whatever! Why do they have to ruin it!
These people can’t take care of their own homelands and straighten things out, we certainly don’t want to hear their mouths or music. I guess you’re not liked well enough in your own countries to make any money, go back home.
Who is this Roger?
Why do entertainers think we want to hear or will be swayed by their political views? They are paid for ENTERTAINING not for their political persuasion. Do they actually think their views matter more than other folks’ do? They make their money off ALL who attend their shows. They need to keep their beliefs to themselves and just do their best to entertain. I will boycot all entertainers who use their venues to spout vile words or images against our president or any other political figure.
You would think they might learn a lesson from Hillary Clinton hobnobbing with celebrities and STILL losing the election…. obviously, people don’t CARE who these ‘entertainers’ support politically! They only hurt themselves…. right in the pocketbook!
You are spot on!!! When will these feeble minded creatures learn their opinions mean nothing to us!! Last time I looked we had a President name Donald J. Trump and not Lard ass Clinton!!! Keep on yapping so we know who not to vote for!! ??
Yes, so right, Don’t listen to the opinions of Hollywood Trash!
I have already boycotted!! them all, since President to Office, I have not watch any movies or gone to the shows. Period!!! On TV I only watch, Home Shopping, Local News, History, Weather and good enough for me. God bless
I have yet to hear any of them make a cogent political argument. These are relics of the past and still living the Weather Underground dream. I was a radical back in the 1960’s also. But I grew up. There has to be adults in the room.
I Will also. Just trashed my pink Floyd cassettes. Yes I’m old !
Pink Floyd one of my heroes. All I can say is just like many others in recent days, another one bites the dust!!! Sick of their crap, make great music, keep your yap shut!! Especially when you are not even an American!! Not impressed!!
I met the band Pink Floyd ,,,Minus Roger Waters…and i asked David Gilmour why he was no longer in the band and he said because Roger Waters had become a depressing bore…!! and his negitivity was dragging down the progress of the bands stardom..
so apparently hes still the same Negative anti progress asshole he was back then
Well said
Another alien talking about our President,Take your pink panties and go back where you came from they need you there your are not welcome here,”pinky”.
I wonder if he would say the same regarding the muslim mayor of London???
when is this crap going to stop??? can you imagine this being done to obama??? these people are vile and disgusting
Your right Vicki….it is very obvious of the “distorted” reporting on the lives of our President AND his family.
They learned it ”from obama”. he started this hatred crap.
Why isn’t he being deported for this act? It can and should be done. Freedom of speech and expression should only apply to a citizen of America, not a visa carrying libby.
The constitution reads that those rights are for Citizens ONLY. But hey our gov’t doesn’t know how to read!
Just saw James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt. I pay to hear their music not their politics. The size of the crowd “no one would debate, race, abortion, woman’s rights. Even a picture of Obama was put up.
I live in Rural NC Taylor was doing a free concert last summer, wouldn’t go bc he’s become too annoying, once a fan. Another down.
How insulting to the millions of American voters who voted for Trump. We have enough haters here. We don’t need you to come here and debase our President. Go home. Your time has past.
“we don’t need no thought control”, roger, now SCRAM!! TRUMP 2020
get this swine out of the U.S.
Hey Waters, can you say BOYCOTT? I bet you can! you’re another limey dumbfuck!
This is good news.Hooray for Trump.
I go wa-a-a-a-y back with Pink Floyd as I adored their live work from 1971-81 (yeah . . . I’m that old !) . . . those performances are etched in my mind as treasured works of mastery.
It is NO excuse, today, for the desecration of our Office of the Presidency by an international doddering fool. No matter what one (AMERICAN) thinks of this president . . . he was the choice to make meaningful change in this country. We were heading towards the feckless representation of democracy that is ingrained in the Britain of today. . . as they cow-tow to middle-eastern immigrants that have NO INTENTION of becoming British citizens and, arrogantly, ignore British law. Pick up the mirror that lays before you, Mr. Waters . . . Britannia calls to you ! Ignorance IS bliss . . . isn’t it ????
That is exactly right, in the twilight of his career. He has always been off the wall, so who really cares. It is rather funny that even his fans are coming to see how kooky he is, one’s trash is another wealth so they say, well Waters never compared to many of the other rock legends in my view. Clapton? The Who? Led Zep?? Anderson from Yes? Really???
Quit going to these known leftist has beens shows and movies! They’ll get the message playing to a near empty venue. Or better yet cancelled shows do to lack of interest!
That’s what happend to Barbra Steisand here in Detroit, only sold 4K tickets at the Palace instead of the 24K they hoped, cancelled the show. Guess all her conservative ex-fans passed on her libtard ass coming here to sing!
Now that’s a real success story!
When she was in Albany NY years ago she treated everyone like crap. She is one mean miserable bitch.
I never really cared for their music. I think it’s because every heavy drug user I’ve known like them very much. It’s not music to have at a party unless it involved illegal drugs.
I never liked Pink Floyd and now I dislike him even more. 1st one needs to be respectful to the office. The elections are over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! let the man do his job
I used to like Pink Floyd, at least some of their songs. But, I finally grew up, so don’t like the same music that I did. Anybody that comes to our country, & debases OUR president, needs to be shut down, & sent back to their OWN country, IF they’ll have him back! Mr Trump is a LOT more popular than the lame stream media, & DImocrats want to admit. Mt Trump AND Mrs Trump are a lot more popular overseas than they are here.
Keep their stupid rhetoric in their own fallen, decrepit country, the leaders in this nation hate it that their citizens voted for Brexit, they can’t stand that the majority of the people are libtardarians like they are
Disgusted to the bones with so-called entertainers …. they can all go to ( u know where ) as far as I’m concerned … never cared for them & never will … bye-bye !
Waters does not seem to understand that while Hitler was a socialist and Trump is a capitalist, there was a common reason for both coming to power.
That common reason is opposition to communism.
I will always enjoy the old Pink Floyd music but quite frankly I don’t give a damn what Waters thinks about our President but if I were him I would be very careful because the fake news are making people like him think this country is against our President. There are many more supporter of our President than the fake news will admit. All the fake news is doing is hurting our people by filling them up with lie after lie after lie. It will never work. Fake news will lose. Just wait and see. Just like Fake Hillery, Fake Bill, Fake Obama,Fake Pelosi,Fake Lopez,Fake Schumer and the rest of the Fake Democrats. They are all losers.
John you are so so right! The Fake News along with all the other fakers will not win!! All their days are numbered bc good always prevails!! I believe from the bottom of my heart that the Lord above put President Trump in office and he will do the job no matter how hard the disrupters try to stop him!!
Right about that John, they are all FAKE Democrats because they are real COMMUNISTS!
Old, senile, in the way has been who needs to return to his retirement home while he’s still able.
The other band players kicked him out because of his arrogant narcissism.
Man – I loved Pink Floyd —— Time to remember the old days and screw the new……
Hmmmm – If I remember history right —– at one time Britannia ruled the waves —– NOW THEY’RE BEING BEHEADED IN THE STREETS OF LONDON…..Way to go……
Yup keep up that liberal thinking!!
300 mg of thorazine and 48 hours in a rubber room would do wonders – you are clueless – Huh….
I think you may have misunderstood me. I was speaking of the Britts!! Duh!!
Could be wrong – I’ve been wrong before but —- Trolls are on the loose – out there and doing their thing……
Sounds like YOU missed your dosage….I think she was agreeing with you?
It sounds like Rick was simply pointing out a historical fact about the miasma that is London today. That is not “liberal thinking” at all! Liberals would cheer on the murderous Muslims and make excuses for their heinous and sub-human acts of barbarism.
Be kind she was agreeing with us. most likely made sn error on the reply indentation.
Lets not stoop to the donkeys level.
BOYCOTT BOYCOTT
He is from England, LIBERAL THINK, has almost destroyed it.?
Liberalthink, an oxymoron if there ever was one…
Politics have no place in concerts especially if the singer isn’t from this country.
Thank You, New Orleans.
And Texas!
My wife and I hace seen and enjoyed many Pink Floyd concerts. I’ve seen the wall 3 times. Our way of showing our outrage at this jerk Roger Waters is to never ever spend another penny for anything at all that has to do with this ass. Hopefully many other proud Americans will do the same.
We should start a petition to boycott all Entertainers that take shots at our President and have a public list of them. Have collection of burnings of there cds, dvds, posters, and memorabilia post them on Facebook and label their name and the political statement they made that put them on the Anti – American entertainer list! Just a thought as i sit here reading how Clooney is moving his family back to USA because England has become too dangerous!!!!! Karma is a bitch!
I never did like much of pink floyd’s music.
How the mighty have fallen? One of the finer points that are taught in sales seminars is that you should judge you ‘audience’ or customers with what is normal for where you are selling or performing. If you want to wear a bone in your nose or 20 earrings in your ears note that at least 75% of your fans will not be receptive to this sort of behavior. If you hate Trump then take note that nearly 1/2 of all Americans voted for him so don’t alienate 1/2 your listeners as that is not the way to have a good show!! Retire in shame as your time has come and gone.
Pink Floyd,weird,his music weird,Waters is weird,The whole dam gang was
weird,jus”sayin”
ROFLMAO…..why would the ass think anyone cares what he thinks. Just another elitist kumquat who got lucky and made money off the same people he now’s dumping on. GTH, Waters.
The only people who liked their music were the stoners.
don’t bring them back
The British ‘Royal Family’ have been FREELOADERS for centuries and this guy mocks our President…..he can go to hell…
For me the most intriguing thing about this is how puerile his ‘commentary’ is. (Trump as KKK – wow, that’s brilliant, Roger!) Another liberal entertainer with the IQ of a turnip.
apparently he never learned anything about American history, and who the Kkk was created by the democrats!
Correct indeed..
And they created the KKK to frighten the newly freed black folks to vote demorat or face their wrath. When will the black youths of America realize that?
DEPORT THE SOB OUT OF THIS COUNTRY. BRITISH BASTARD.
We don’t need some British bloody puke down grading our President. go home and make the Queen sick with your singing or what ever noise you do. we could have done without you for another 25 years. Leave America.
I’m done with this crap. They suck!
Just a real old washout has been, who thinks he can make a come back..Go back to the UK you dupe ass,, Never cared for your music in the first place..Better watch your ass as you aren’t an American and the FBI just might show up to your concert..
It’s hilarious that limey actors and musicians spout off about American politics, yet they get so pissed if a yank says anything about BritPol. keep yer gob shut and just play yer bloody music or act! I dont give a fiddler’s fart about your political ideology, Roger, Bono, and the rest of ye bloody Brit pud wankers. No more Pink Floyd music for me! Im deleting all my mp3 files of theirs! BYE BYE!!
It is good that the performance was booed !
Most Brits have never learned, were misinformed, or have totally forgotten all the facts concerning Hitler’s rise to power. Waters unfortunately seems to fall within the last batch. Which is one reason why I won’t buy any of his material. The other reason is I’m not impressed with his music. Never was that much of a Pink Floyd fan either.
Pink who? Roger who?
Just like the actors in Hollywood, we pay YOU to entertain us and make music we like….. We do not give a $hit what your political views are, keep you mouth shut and do your job or we no longer spend our money on your $hit, period………….
I DIDN’T LIKE EX PRESIDENT OBAMA BUT I WOULD NEVER SAY THINGS LIKE IS BEING SAID ABOUT OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP YOU PEOPLE ARE A DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY. YOU OWE OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP AN APOLGY. I FEEL LIKE YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF OUR PRESIDENT.
SICK OF PINK FLOYD ANYWAY!!!
people want entertainment not political agenda. putting their thoughts out on the media is one thing but to take up people time that they pay for away from the entertainment becomes irritating to say the least when we purchace a persons tallent so we can forget the problems we face for a few moments they will learn that we dont need them to interject their political views into it.
Grampa
Another has been entertainer who contribute nothing but noise to the world.
My question is, if this guy has made anti-Trump statements since way back when, why are these people attending, no less forking over their hard earned U.S. dollars (not pounds)?
Why on Gods green earth would a Brit think he is entitled to have any say in American policies or leadership? If I remember correctly, we revoked that right permanently 240 years ago… if he’d like to go a few more rounds, I imagine he could be obliged…
