Green Day Faces Backlash for Trump Mask Stunt

Green Day's lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong faced backlash after holding up a Donald Trump mask labeled 'IDIOT' during a concert in Washington, D.C., just weeks after an assassination attempt on the former president. Armstrong incorporated this stunt into a performance of their song 'American Idiot,' altering the lyrics to criticize the MAGA agenda. This act drew sharp criticism from Trump supporters on social media, who deemed it insensitive given the recent attack on Trump. Despite the controversy, Armstrong and Green Day have not issued any public comments regarding the incident. The reaction has been polarizing, with some fans defending the band's anti-establishment stance while others called for a boycott.
