Billie Joe Armstrong Compares Donald Trump To Adolf Hitler

In an interview with Kerrang (via NME), Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong compared Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. Here are highlights:

On his issue with Trump: “The worst problem I see about Trump is who his followers are. I actually feel bad for them, because they’re poor, working-class people who can’t get a leg up. They’re pissed off and he’s preyed on their anger. He just said, ‘You have no options and I’m the only one, and I’m going to take care of it myself.’ I mean, that’s fucking Hitler, man!”

On if the Hitler comparison is too much: “I don’t even know how else to explain it. I wish I were over-exaggerating. And sometime maybe I do over-exaggerate with [George W] Bush. But with Trump, I just can’t wait ’til he’s gone.”
