Eminem's Early And Brutal Take On MAGA Has Gone Viral Because It's Still So Relevant
Eminem and Donald Trump
Eminem wanted MAGA to snap back to reality years ago – but defectors have been slim despite their leader being shady.
And this may be precisely why an old video of the rapper pointing out one of the most perplexing things about MAGA’s loyalty to Donald Trump has resurfaced on numerous social media platforms in the last few days.
In December 2017 – about a year into Trump’s first term – Complex asked Eminem, whose legal name is Marshall Mathers, what most bothers him “about America right now”.
“Obviously Trump,” the 8 Mile star responded.
After initially blurting out that answer, Eminem admitted he wasn’t quite “sure how” to articulate what was bothering him about some Americans’ relationship with the failed real estate mogul and former reality TV star, but he eventually found the words.
“It’s so bizarre watching him play to his base that thinks that he cares about them and it’s actually the people that he cares about the fucking least,” Eminem said.
He continued: “If you’re talking about his core being a majority white middle class people, what I don’t understand is how in the fuck do you feel like you relate to a billionaire who has never known struggle his entire fucking life?”
