Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder has launched a blistering attack on US President Donald Trump, saying the president is “more manic” than he ever was on drugs. Speaking to the Daily Star, Ryder said: “He’s a f***ing c**t, don’t get me started on him. I f***ing hate him, he’s on something. It’s like having, you know, the most manic, cracked up version of me being a President of the United States. He’s a f***ing fool.”
Ryder Refuses to Visit US
Ryder added he would not dream of going to America while Trump is in power. However, he admitted that getting into the US has been difficult for years due to his past. He explained: “Me and Bez don’t go to America anymore. It’s very, very difficult for me to get in America. I have to go through a proper song and dance, to get in the States because I got banned for ten years and I’ve now been on probation with the United States Embassy … since 2005 or something like that. So, 21 years. And it’s just a real ball ache getting in. So f**k em.”
Concerns Over Trump’s Health
Separately, White House sources have reportedly said Trump’s allies believe he is “deteriorating” and fear his condition can “only get worse.” The 80-year-old president is said to be showing signs of his age and “lashing out” at those close to him. Veteran journalist Andrew Neil said: “'Donald is deteriorating before our very eyes,' I was told in Washington this week by a close confidant who sees him regularly.”
Happy Mondays play Y Not Festival on Saturday, August 1, in Pikehall, Derbyshire.
