what did jack black say about trump
Jack Black has publicly criticized Donald Trump in strong terms and, more recently, distanced himself from a violent “joke” about Trump made by his own bandmate.
Key things he’s said
- At a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony several years ago, Jack Black referred to Trump as a “piece of s***” during his speech, using the moment to take a direct jab at Trump’s character and politics.
- Black has long aligned with liberal and anti‑Trump sentiment in interviews and public appearances, generally treating Trump as someone he opposes both politically and morally.
Tenacious D and the Trump “don’t miss” joke
- In July 2024, during a Tenacious D show in Sydney, Jack Black asked bandmate Kyle Gass to make a birthday wish onstage, and Gass replied, “Don’t miss Trump next time,” referring to the recent assassination attempt on Trump.
- After a backlash and political condemnation in Australia, Black issued a statement saying he was “blindsided” by the remark, stressing that he would never condone hate speech or political violence and announcing that the Tenacious D tour and “all future creative plans” were on hold.
Does Jack Black support Trump?
- Public reporting and commentary consistently describe Black as opposed to Trump, not a supporter; articles analyzing his politics frame him as left‑leaning and critical of Trump’s policies and behavior.
- While his earlier comments were more comedic insults and political jabs, the 2024 incident pushed him to underline a boundary: criticism of Trump is fair game for him, but calling for or joking about violence crosses a line he says he rejects.
