Art Garfunkel has revealed that he is tempted to leave America due to Donald Trump and global warming.
Garfunkel spoke about this in a recent interview with The Guardian, where he shared his unhappiness at the current Trump administration.
“I don’t like America’s position at all. I’m not aboard, and I’m thinking of leaving the country, frankly. It’s real that the planet is getting warmer, that the water’s rising, that so many people are starving,” he said.
“When Donald Trump took over Venezuela, are those the new rules? Just take over a country and run it? It’s shocking, and you think: how on earth are we gonna change the presidency?”.
Garfunkel's come eight months after US forces had captured Venezuela's leader, Nicolás Maduro in Caracas, before bringing him over to the USA on federal charges.
Despite his negative views on the current administration, Garfunkel did add this somewhat cheery note: “Trump won’t last forever. So we’ve got to hope".
Garfunkel's remarks comes as Donald Trump is set to visit Ireland this week ahead of the upcoming Amgen Irish Open, which is to take place at Trump's resort in Doonbeg, West Clare next week. The visit is to include a meeting between Mr Trump and Irish President, Catherine Connolly. More on this from Nova here.
Back in May, another musician, Jack White also criticised the unveiling of a new Donald Trump statue in Florida, which he called: “the most frustrating part of modern American life”.
