Chuck Comeau condemned Donald Trump in a speech on stage in Mexico City

Over 3500 people gathered in the Pepsi Center WTC on Monday, November 6th, to witness the second Mexican show of Simple Plan’s No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls 15th anniversary tour – in Mexico City. The show was packed with the bands long-time fans, as well as the newer ones and even some unexpected guests paid a visit to the show, such as the members of The Vamps [but more about them in the next article].

If you’ve already attended one of the shows of the 15th anniversary tour, or if you at least follow the news about them, you must already know that in between ‘One Day’ and ‘Perfect’, the band performs the song ‘Grow Up’, during which Pierre and Chuck switch their positions: Pierre becomes the drummer and Chuck takes the mic and usually has a little speech to the crowd. In Mexico City however, the speech got a little political due to the fact that Chuck decided to condemn the actions of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, who’s attitude towards Mexico has been appalling and previously criticized by many.

Thanks to Karen, we got ahold of a video of Chuck’s speech in Mexico City, which you can also read in its transcription below:

“You know, there’s been a lot of idiot people around the world talking shit about and insulting this beautiful country. And I just wanna say to Mr. fucking Donald Trump that he’s a fucking idiot! We fucking love you guys! You guys made us feel at home! Muchas gracias!”
