Eminem has unleashed a profane lyrical tirade against President Donald Trump \u2014 saying he \u201ccame to stomp\u201d and taking aim at Trump’s Twitter habits, policy, appearance and supporters.<\/p>\n

The rapper on Tuesday unveiled \u201cThe Storm,\u201d a 4 1\/2-minute freestyle rap video recorded Friday in a Detroit parking garage that aired as part of BET’s Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Eminem slammed the Republican president as \u201ca kamikaze who will probably cause a nuclear holocaust\u201d before criticizing Trump’s ongoing campaign against NFL national anthem protests.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this is his form of distraction, plus he gets an enormous reaction when he attacks the NFL, so we focus on that instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada. All these horrible tragedies and he’s bored and would rather cause a Twitter storm with the Packers,\u201d he rapped.<\/p>\n

He later mentioned NFL free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who’s credited with launching the ongoing anthem protests. Kaepernick told the rapper on Twitter, \u201cI appreciate you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eminem also took down Trump’s recently unveiled plan for tax cuts, questioning: \u201cthen who’s going to pay for his extravagant trips back and forth with his fam to his golf resorts and his mansions?\u201d<\/p>\n

At one point he called Trump, who’s 71, a \u201cracist 94-year-old grandpa\u201d and compared the president’s appearance to the Marvel Comics character \u201cThe Thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old rapper closed out his rant with a message to his fans who support Trump, saying \u201cI’m drawing in the sand a line, you’re either for or against.\u201d He added that people who don’t support the president love the military and the country, but \u201chate Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment on the video, and Trump didn’t mention it while tweeting on several issues Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

This is Eminem’s most recent rhymed attack on Trump. It follows up last year’s nine-minute freestyle track \u201cCampaign Speech\u201d and a verse earlier this year on Big Sean’s \u201cNo Favours.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
