Description

In this segment, guest host Chris Keene and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger dismantle U2 frontman Bono’s claim that Donald Trump is “the worst idea” America ever had, calling it a prime example of celebrity politics divorced from historical reality. They contrast Bono’s outrage over Trump with his warm praise of figures like George W. Bush and Barack Obama—leaders whose wars, drone strikes, and policies caused massive global harm long before Trump entered office. Chris and Kurt argue that America’s systemic inequalities, poverty, homelessness, and endless wars are decades-old failures of the political establishment, not the creation of any single president. Ultimately, they contend that treating Trump as uniquely evil is a distraction manufactured by elites to preserve their own power while ignoring the suffering of ordinary Americans.

When I learned who Bono really is, I took all of my U2 CD’s and burned them with a torch. He’s a scumbag.

Bono is always hanging around Davos and Klaus Schwab. He's a WEF muppet. Anything coming out of his dumb mouth is for his wef elite overlords.

The Irish people hate what’s going on in Ireland. Hate what’s going on in Great Britain and don’t think they don’t. He’s a moron.

Since his name was all over the Panama papers (where the streets have no shame!) showing how much money he avoids paying tax on, I just have zero respect for him.

Bono is a CIA lackey. He literally does feel good concerts to make money for the CIA to buy guns.

Here in Ireland, nobody talks about bono, because, he's not worth talking about.
