System Of A Down's Serj Tankian speaks out against Donald Trump

System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian has called U.S. President Donald Trump out for fleeing to his bunker in the midst of Black Lives Matter protests across the nation.

Once again, Serj Tankian has taken a stance on the current president of the United States, and has called him out for the actions he has taken during the mass outbreak of protests and riots following the death of 46-year-old George Floyd who was killed by police on Monday, May 25th.

In the wake of George Floyd’s death caused by a police officer crushing Floyd’s neck with his knee, causing him to asphyxiate, many citizens around America and people across the globe have called out Trump’s politics and lack of leadership as playing a key part in police brutality.

While taking to social media, Tankian shared a recent article posted by The Guardian which talked about how Trump fled to the internal bunker of the White House while protests over George Floyd’s death raged outside.

Adding to the caption, Tankian wrote: “Run Donny run into your bunker. You may be the first US President to do so out of fear of your own citizens.”

Run Donny run into your bunker. You may be the first US President to do so out of fear of your own citizens. A real leader would address the nation properly and a real man would go face the protestors on the streets in person. But like other corrupt undemocratic leaders in the past, you’ve realized they are not your people as you are not really our President. These protests are not just over race but over institutional injustices beginning with the slave era electoral college that put you in power, K Street lobbying firms, superdelegates of a two party duopolistic Neo-liberal corporatocracy whose day has come. You make antifa a terrorist organization but not the KKK? The lessons of the 2018 peaceful successful revolution in Armenia can be applied in the US and elsewhere in the world. Coordinate online and block every street everywhere and force the regime to resign. The time has come. Your time has come @realdonaldtrump

Continuing on, he stated that “a real leader would address the nation properly and a real man would go face the protestors on the streets in person,” however Trump’s decisions has pointed out that “like other corrupt undemocratic leaders in the past, you’ve realised they are not your people as you are not really our President.

“These protests are not just over race but over institutional injustices beginning with the slave era electoral college that put you in power, K Street lobbying firms, superdelegates of a two party duopolistic Neo-liberal corporatocracy whose day has come.”

The System Of A Down musician also went on to note how Trump plans to declare Antifa, or anti-fascist, a terrorist organisation, but hasn’t made the same movement towards the KKK.

“The lessons of the 2018 peaceful successful revolution in Armenia can be applied in the US and elsewhere in the world. Coordinate online and block every street everywhere and force the regime to resign. The time has come. Your time has come,” Donald Trump.
