Elton John's New Remarks About Trump Are Likely to Have Dems Losing Their Minds
Democrats and media have been going all in to demonize former President Donald Trump as we count down to the election. We see that in the constant drumbeat of bad press for him and positive press for Kamala Harris, for example. Anything Trump or his running mate, JD Vance, says is somehow twisted into something they didn't actually say to make them look bad. The Dems and legacy media look desperate at this point.
It's pretty clear that a lot of the public is able to see around the manic narrative, and that's why Democrats have to be nervous at this point in terms of the election as the Kamala Harris "honeymoon" fizzles.
That said, when someone with a big name says anything nice or kind about Trump, as Elton John just did, they have to be losing their minds.
As our sister site Twitchy noted, John was interviewed by Variety when they asked about Trump referencing his "Rocket Man" song in relation to the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The reporter prefaced it by saying, "I know you're not a supporter of Donald Trump." so it sounded like he was trying to lead Elton to a shot at Trump. Except that's not what he got.
“I laughed. I thought that was brilliant. I just thought, 'Good on ya, Donald!' I am the Rocket Man. Donald's always been a fan of mine, and he's been to my concerts many, many times. I mean, I’ve always been friendly towards him, and I thank him for his support. When he did that, I just thought it was hilarious. It made me laugh."
He was told that Trump gave Kim one of Elton's CDs, and that seemed to amuse him, too. He said he thought the Rocket Man nickname was a "light moment; it was fun."
How nice it is to see a normal reaction to Trump from a celebrity and not hyperbolic insanity. That probably took that reporter by surprise. He said it was funny because it was funny. And unlike other "friends" who jumped on the cult train against Trump, he doesn't go there, so good for him.
I think Elton is a little too big to cancel, but you know that he's going to get some folks on the left screaming and losing their minds at him for that one, actually calling Trump "Donald" and saying they have been friendly. That doesn't match the demonizing they want to do of him.
As our Twitchy friends noted, this is not unusual for Elton, however. Elton played at Rush Limbaugh's wedding, and they were friends. He believes in civility, which is nice to see and something from which a lot of other people could take a lesson.
