John Legend calls Trump ‘an evil f****** canker sore on America’ after president’s Baltimore rant

‘We need to get him out of office,’ the singer said

John Legend has embarked on a fiery condemnation of Donald Trump, referring to the US President as “a flaming racist” and “an evil f***ing canker sore on America’s whole landscape” following his racist Twitter rant about Baltimore.

Speaking to paparazzi photographers from the gossip site TMZ, Legend declared Trump “a flaming racist [and] a piece of s***”, adding: “He says ‘piece of s***’ all the time. That’s what he does. We need to get him out of office.”

Asked what Legend would do about Baltimore, which was the subject of a racist rant by Trump last week, he replied: “There’s a lot that can be done, over a century of history that created the problems that they have, and we need to focus on making all of our communities better instead of talking s*** about the communities just because you’re a racist prick.”

He added: “Donald Trump is an evil f***ing canker sore on America’s whole landscape, so we need to get him out of office.”

Trump last weekend took to Twitter to attack the black congressman Elijah Cummings, who represents the district of Baltimore, declaring that the city is a ““disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” where “no human would want to live”. He later denied claims that the tweets were racist, and went on to call Cummings himself a “racist”.
