Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland has expanded on the backlash sparked by his recent remarks criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump. Over the weekend, the outspoken nu-metal musician shared a message via his Instagram Stories in which he told followers who support Trump to unfollow him. The post stated:
“If any of my followers voted of support Trump or are still friends with anyone who supports the Trump administration you’re out. F**k You. Never contact me again.”
The post quickly spread beyond Instagram, gaining attention on platforms such as Reddit and elsewhere. Borland’s stance against Trump is nothing new, however. He voiced similar opposition back in 2016, when he publicly appealed to Trump supporters and shared an intense rant aimed at Trump during his first presidential run. This post also drew the attention of another longtime Trump critic, Tom Morello. The politically outspoken Rage Against the Machine guitarist weighed in by sharing a screencap of Borland’s message on X, adding a lyrical nod to Limp Bizkit in response.
Borland returned to social media yesterday, February 6th, to mark his 51st birthday, using the occasion to renew his criticism of Trump and ICE while also directing some pointed remarks toward the Democratic Party. His message stated:
“I guess if you’re mad at me say whatever you want to here. I just want everyone to be happy F**k Trump. F**k ICE. Democrats are without leadership except Bernie. Love AOC. So call me a Libtard here. Hail Satan. It’s also my birthday so you can wish me a happy birthday if you want.”
In a separate post, Borland wrote:
“Y’all hating me for not wanting hatred in the world is wild. Fine, keep voting against your best interests and telling me: stick to playing guitar. Never heard that one before.”
