Singer John Legend ripped President Donald Trump in a feature for Fault magazine’s latest issue. Asked how he’s raising his daughter, Luna, in the era of Trump, Legend said: “Hopefully ‘Trump’s America’ won’t last very long and we get him out of here within the next four years.”
“By the time Luna is old enough to be aware of what is happening, America would have elected a far better president,” the ten-time Grammy-winner said.
Legend was a fierce supporter of Hillary Clinton’s candidacy; he performed last summer at an all-star concert fundraiser for the former Democratic nominee.
The “Darkness and Light” singer has also repeatedly attacked Trump on Twitter, calling him a “racist” and an “awful person.” He’s married to supermodel Chrissy Teigen, who previously called Trump a “monumental asshole.”
Legend also told the Hollywood Reporter last November that Trump’s “Hitler-like” rhetoric could turn the United States into Nazi Germany.
Now, nearly two months after Trump was sworn into office, Legend says he’s “just hoping for the best” to come out of the new administration.
“Trump promised to do things which are really bad for the country and some which are good and the hope is he’ll just do the good parts but I don’t have a lot of faith in him,” he said. ” I’m just hoping for the best and when we need to resist and speak out, we need to hit the streets and do it.”
Legend continued: “For now, I’m more worried about the people less fortunate than my daughter, people who might lose their healthcare or get excluded because of the colour of their skin, their religion and country of origin.”

the world would be better served if Legend were gone instead, and much sooner than 4 years.
Someone who changed his last name to Legend (from Stephens) clearly has an inflated sense of self importance.
I wonder if he’s spewing this hateful crap because of that imbecilic Stalinist wife of his.
John Legend can drop dead tomorrow.
Make the world a better place.
He’s got the same stage name as a singer who’s used it for 40 years.
Legend in his mind.

Luna. Perfect name for a child of a moonbat.
10 time Grammy winner. Is that more than the Beatles got when they were a band?
I guess they didn't go back to Obama's first Presidential primary campaign against Hillary Clinton.
If Trump’s gone before the next four years are up, you might be too mother ####er.
So don’t wish too hard.
Our side has all the guns.
who?
If I’m one of these entertainers I’d worry. We saw how impactful they were on the election.
I love when black people who have never met someone accuse them of being “racist”, without being able to point to a single action that was racist (sometimes with Trump they say it was his statements about illegal immigrant mexicans — which are not a “race”, but a nationality). Meanwhile, blacks who know the person say they aren’t racist at all.
On another note, the Lin Manuel Miranda song from Moana was a much better song than the John Legend song, and should have won that category. The Legend song was boring and predictable.
And I can’t even really blame the “minority” argument, since Lin is a minority, and is well-liked in the African-American community. But maybe because he’s not black like John Legend, they had to make sure to get their proper race quota.
Lin would have been I think the first Hispanic to ever win an Oscar, and Emmy, a Tony, and a Grammy. (He also won a Pulitzer). He would have been the youngest performer to ever make the “EGOT” club.
Removed from my Pandora Radio list today.
What is she wearing besides her obsolete Hillary chest sticker? Kind of a Rapunzel Look, but the hair doesn’t cover everything.
So this clown preferred a treasonous, irresponsible, unpatriotic, pay for playing pathological liar ?
Child services, take the daughter away from this POS “dad” He clearly is mentally unfit for anything
#NotMyLegend

Wow, what a bigot.
Anybody who thinks Crooked Hilary would be serious POTUS Material should be locked up too.
