If you’re craving completely mind-numbing, sedative content to consume, do I have the perfect video for you! YouTuber Lars von Retriever has added another instalment to his deliciously brain worm-inducing Metal Trump series.
This time, the skilled video editor has married the presidents dialogue with the Iron Maiden classic ‘Run to the Hills’ — it’s awful and dreadful and so totally satisfying.
Lars Von Retriever’s has previously whipped up Metal Trump videos to Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, System of a Down, Rage Against The Machine, Marilyn Manson and Disturbed tracks.
The entire thing feels so painfully ironic. Iron Maiden penned the 1982 The Number of the Beast classic as a concept piece about the genocide of Native Americans committed by North American settlers.
“White man came across the sea/ He brought us pain and misery,” sings frontman Bruce Dickinson. It feels a little squeamish hearing the musings come out of Trump’s racist gob.

In other news, Linkin Park recently hit out at Donald Trump after he shared a fan-made video that featured the bands beloved track, ‘In The End’.
The video was uploaded on Saturday, July 18th, and was consequently removed from the social media platform and replaced by a white box reading ‘This media has been disable in response to a report by the copyright owner’.

In a statement, the band said “Linkin Park did not and does not endorse Trump, nor authorize his organization to use any of our music. A cease and desist has been issued.”
Chester Bennington, the late frontman of Linkin Park, was famously anti-Trump, and once referred to the president as “a greater threat to the USA than terrorism.”
Earlier this week, Chance The Rapper admitted that he thinks US President Donald Trump will win a second term, saying that America is currently facing a “fork in the road”.
In a recent interview The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast, Chance got candid on his predictions for the presidential election, saying he doesn’t believe Joe Biden will win.
“I feel like there’s a fork in the road, like a black hole. I feel like I could change the course of history right now with a certain answer,” he said.
He continued, “I’m just going to be honest: I don’t think that Joe Biden will win in November. I don’t. I felt like Trump was gonna have two terms since the beginning of his first term. Just because of what I know about politics. What my dad always used to say is you have to energise the base.”
