Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon, aka “Johnny Rotten,” has confirmed that he is “definitely” voting for President Donald Trump in America’s upcoming presidential election, railing against the establishment politicians who’ve been running the country.
Lydon, who is English but became an American citizen in 2013, said he doesn’t care about Trump’s personality but rather a continued shake-up of the political system.
“He’s an individual thinker, I’ll give him that for a start,” he said in an interview with BBC’s Newsday. “He’s not the most lovable fellow on God’s earth, but I cannot see the opposition as offering me anything by way of a solution.”

He dissed Trump quite a bit when Trump was first elected . Guess he’s seen the light .
I can only hope the American electorate can understand the wisdom in this quote from Johnny Rotten. Who cares if the President is a guy you want to invite over for a beer, a bbq or a cigar? Vote for the guy that will make America great again! To steal a line from the fake liberals/crypto communists, "Do it for the children"!
Over the years Lydon has shown himself to have quite a conservative world view.He has British working class insouciance without the Labourite,lefty drivel that often accompanies it.
Sid Vicious used to wear a swastika shirt and leather jacket on stage and about town. In the movie Sid and Nancy, Hollywood had him wearing the communist shirt. Everyone knows the swastika is the real sign of rebellion against the establishment. The Pistols weren’t self loathing Whites and they knew Britain belonged to them.Some fool calling himself “Timothy McBang” posted that in the comments section of that article. Too many lefties like that are allowed to post on Breitbart, still.
For argument say Trump has a bad personality;
You are picking a heart surgeon. Do you want the one with the greatest education, work record and skill set, or the one with the better personality?
The only way I am familiar with this guy is from seeing him as a defendant on Judge Judy - https://youtu.be/K3L7xIJ3aDo?t=7

28 Sept: Newsweek: John Lydon’s Trump Support Leaves Sex Pistols Fans Feeling Rotten
By Emma Nolan
Johnny Rotten aka John Lydon has been open about his support for Trump and Brexit for some time now—but fans of the Sex Pistols and the former punk legend are still disappointed...
A tweet showing the “God Save the Queen” singer wearing a pro-Donald Trump ‘Make America Great Again’ T-shirt has gone viral on Twitter this week, with one former fan decrying his idol’s political views...
...in a 2017 NPR interview, Lydon called Trump “absolutely magnificent.”
“I think he’s absolutely magnificent. He’s a total cat amongst the pigeons,” he said at the time. “It’s got everybody now involving themselves in a political way. And I’ve been struggling for years to get people to wake up and do that.”...
In the same year, during a Good Morning Britain appearance, Lydon said Trump was a “complicated fellow” who had been “smeared” by the “left-wing media.”
“One journalist once said to me, is he the political Sex Pistol? In a way.
“What I dislike is the left-wing media in America are trying to smear the bloke as a racist and that’s completely not true.
“There are many, many problems with him as a human being but he’s not that and there just might be a chance something good will come out of that situation because he terrifies politicians.”
“This is a joy to behold for me. Dare I say, [he could be] a possible friend.”...

naturally, Newsweek prints outraged tweets from horrified fans, who should be asking themselves “HOW COME ALL OUR ROCK’N’ROLL HEROES BACKED CROOKED, CRONY, CAREER POLITICIAN CLINTON AND NOW SUPPORT CORRUPT, CRONY, CAREER POLITICIAN BIDEN?
SURELY THEY SHOULD ALL BE BACKING THE MAGNIFICENT MAVERICK, WHO HAS BEEN EXPOSING THE DEEPT STATE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO WHEN/IF HE’S RE-ELECTED IN NOVEMBER.
of course, meant to type Deep State, not Deept...
Exactly. People who vote for likable, pretty, handsome, skin color, etc are idiots. Doctor, politician, mechanic, cop, etc, you want the most capable. Unfortunately for many people, they can’t see Trump through opaque screen of the media and academia. They only see a caricature of Trump in a Nazi uniform. Johnny Rotten sees through the fog. Who would have guessed that 40 years ago (let alone that he would still be alive)?
“He’s an individual thinker, I’ll give him that for a start,” he said in an interview with BBC’s Newsday. “He’s not the most lovable fellow on God’s earth, but I cannot see the opposition as offering me anything by way of a solution.”
He is absolutely right about Trump.
Trump does not follow the orthodoxy of either party. He marches to the beat of his own drum.
In the Obama years the Socialist Democrats were all about Change. Well, Trump is a far greater agent of Change than Obama ever was.
So, where are these lovers of change for change sake now?
They are out changing the landscape by burning it down.
That is not the CHANGE that we were waiting for. I’ll march with Trump.
That sums it up.
He also called it on Jimmy Saville way before Saville was exposed.
British people are allowed to vote in the United States?
If you actually read the article they have some quotes from before the 2016 elections of him criticizing Trump.
Heeeeeere’s Johnny! Thanks, Johnny.
I think the guy you’re referring too is talking about when bikers punks and other ne’er do wells used Nazi and Wermacht symbols as an eff you to what we old people now who were young then referred to as the establishment then
And Lyndon was angry Hollywood changed that narrative and put Sid in Communist shirt to fit their obvious preferred world view ...they appropriate dead Sids legacy as it were
the pistols sure weren’t Commies or Nazis but they did like to offend and German WWII symbols did that
Exponentially more in today’s cancel culture PC era than in 1976 working class East end of London
What doesn’t offend today honestly?
Ché t shirts maybe...
That’s what I got from the guy on BB not that he was espousing nazism ...
I don’t think BB does their own moderating but they review anything about Jews heavier than any other topic
Algorithms and millennial disqus mods do it although some stuff slips thru....it is a heavy trafficked site...although the same 15-20 folks always first comment any post.....I reckon they work there ..
You can write “Jews are the greatest thing since sliced bread “ and it will get a notice saying “this reply is under review” more or less
If you say Jew or Jewish it gets looked at
You can say my people should all be shot for racism and slavery
and my ancestors are all Nazis ...and the post will stand....pretty much like here lol
Breitbart is run by
Larry Solov
Joel Pollack
Alex Marlow
Susan Bean Breitbart
Peter Schweizer
It’s never struck me as anti Semitic in the least....all the leftist media ever had was Milo emailing some alt right guy with alleged ties to National Alliance
The notion BREITBART is anti Semitic is absurd...it’s hugely pro Israel for starters
It’s almost Neo Con honestly but then it surprises me and it’s not after all on that given day
Most Neo Cons hate Trump
Now as for Sid to wrap this up....
I’ll cede your this...he did in a drugged out stupor murder his Jewish paramour ...so there is that ....
But it’s not the site it was with Andrew or Bannon
