TESTAMENT guitarist Alex Skolnick, who has been an outspoken critic of America's 45th president on social media, has released an anti-Donald Trump song called "Trump Sucks". The funky track features Skolnick's rap-style rhymes in which he touches upon a number of his familiar grievances regarding the Trump administration, including alleged corruption, nepotism and criminality on a scale never before experienced. In a statement accompanying the YouTube release of the video, Skolnick wrote: "This song just poured out of me yesterday. It was completed in a matter of hours. To all the # Trump2020 and # Maga folks who've been flooding my timelines ever since my post the other day about the election, I'd like to say thank you, sincerely. You've inspired me to do something a bit different (for me, anyway): Rapping Enjoy! "PS No time for debates here. If you hate it, please ignore, wait for another post you like better or unfollow. Cheers. And oh yeah.. #trumpsucks". "Trump Sucks" lyrics: We got a bad situation all across the nation The White House is under occupation And liberation from this administration Is needed right now, no time for vacation No regulation for clean air and water He got to office and installed his own daughter She serves no purpose except for appearance Initially denied a security clearance Her husband, Jared, is even worse yet Shady ties, analyzed as a security threat Vladimir Putin got Trump in his pocket Kim Jong-un just launched another rocket I haven't even mentioned Betsy DeVos Wilbur Ross and their cost and the lives that were lost Abomination, an epic fail Just like Bannon and Flynn, he belongs in Jail Trump sucks I'm not kidding around Trump sucks He's like a game show clown He took a hatchet took the Hatch Act Breakin' them laws, violating the Emoluments Clause Sycophants and cronies keep him in power Pissing on our norms like a golden shower A life failing upward, not a heavy lifter An upscale, slumlord, two-bit grifter You may be someone that we cannot sway But for me, there's only one thing left to say Trump sucks He is not your friend Trump sucks I guess I gotta say it again Trump sucks And this could be America's end Trump sucks He's gonna cheat all he can, he will not rest Disrupt the post office, use Kanye West When the polls close and the people choose He's gonna claim 'voter fraud' or say 'It's all fake news!' You like this guy? Because he's rich? Just like Bill Maher said, Trumps a 'whiny little bitch' Lying and tweeting and interrupting, always grouchy Contradicting scientists, even Dr. Fauci So what'll we do? No time to sit and gloat Call you friends and family, everybody's gotta vote Trump sucks We're not kidding around Trump sucks He's trying to bring our democracy down Trump sucks Just like the mob, it's a family of crown Trump sucks Let's say it one more time Trump sucks [End of lyrics] Late last week, Skolnick said it was "more urgent than ever" to vote Trump out of office in November. The 51-year-old guitarist has made no secret of his political views, frequently tweeting against Trump's policies, including the current administration's handling of the outbreak of of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus first observed in China. In March, the guitarist blasted Trump for not being able to "convey a sense of reassurance during a time of emergency."
