Ultra Miami 2016 hosted some great performances but amidst all the music, some artists took to the stage to make a political statement against Donald Trump. As they should.
Donald Trump has constantly shocked the world. NotΒ onlyΒ by his outrageously racist comments and views on foreign policy and immigrants but by actually being a serious contender for the American presidency. Despite the completely inane support that Trump has somehow gathered, several musiciansΒ are not taking Trump’s comments lightly.
Be it Zedd taking to Twitter :
Donald Trump is my favorite comedian.

Or duo FIGHT CLVB‘s hilarious track Donald Trump (for which they were served a cease and desist order by Trump’s attorneys but stillΒ refused to take it down). :
In latest news, American DJ Duo The Chainsmokers took the opportunity to publicly denounce Trump on the Ultra Miami live stream. They then got on Twitter to explain their actions to fans and expressed no regrets :
Last night on the ultra live stream we said we do not support Donald Trump and thatβs our right to support that opinion

but itβs everyone freedom & personal choice to choose who they vote for. And most importantly you need to vote, regardless of who u support
— THE CHAINSMOKERS (@TheChainsmokers) March 20, 2016
we respect peopleβs decisions regardless. But we had opportunity to make a difference in favor of something we truly believe and we did it

And we would do it again and again and again

MAKJ also jumpedΒ in to the anti Trump wagon at Ultra when he stopped mid set, acknowledged a Trump sign in the audience and got the crowd to chant “Fuck Donald Trump!”
With so many musicians pissed of at Donald Trump, he must be doing something (Read : EVERYTHING) wrong! What do you think? Let us know!
