Eminem has torn into US President Donald Trump with an uncompromising four-and-a-half minute freestyle that was performed at last night’s (October 10) BET Hip-Hop Awards. Taking on Trump, Eminem laid into his mishandling of Puerto Rico through to the NFL protests and his trips to Mar a Lago.
And Eminem doesn’t hold back: "When he attacks the NFL so we focus on that / Instead of talking about Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada / All these horrible tragedies and he’s bored and he / Would rather cause a Twitter storm at the Packers."
He also raps: “Any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his, I’m drawing in the sand a line / You’re either for or against / And if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split on who you should stand beside / I’ll do it for you with this: fuck you.”
He goes on to call Trump a “spoiled little brat”, “stingy”, and “a kamikaze that'll probably cause a nuclear holocaust” and so much more besides. Check it out here:

Strangely, Donald Trump has been uncharacteristically quiet on Twitter on this one. Or maybe he’s trying to come up with a freestyle of his own. We’ll see…
