Dee Snider says that
President Donald Trump is viewed as "a joke" by the public in many countries.
The
TWISTED SISTER frontman, who got to know
Trump personally after appearing more than once on
"The Celebrity Apprentice", took to his
Twitter on July 6 to share a meme showing
Donald Trump embracing
Vladimir Putin, who is dressed in leather. He wrote in an accompanying message: "Honestly, I travel all over the globe and it's embarrassing how they view the president of our country. To see pictures like this in papers, online, on t-shirts, posters, coffee mugs all over the world is humiliating to me as an American. #MAKEAMERICAAMERICAAGAIN"
Earlier today, one of
Snider's
Twitter followers weighed in, writing: "I actually communicate with quite a few Europeans on
Facebook, and most of them say that
Trump hate in their countries is highly exaggerated in American press."
Snider disagreed, firing back: "Do your really want to compare passport stamps with me & @TraciiGuns ? You're reading shit on your twitter feed, while we are traveling the damn world, walking the streets, meeting & conversing with world citizens. They don't think
Trump is a joke, THEY THINK HE'S A FUCKING JOKE!"
A January 2020 report from the
Pew Research Center, a non-partisan U.S.-based opinion pollster, showed that only 29% of countries expressed confidence in
Trump last year. The report was based on a survey of nearly 37,000 individuals across 33 countries from May to October of last year.
This is not the first time
Snider has been critical of
Trump. Earlier this month, the rocker blasted the billionaire real estate mogul as "a commie-loving traitor" who is prostituting our democracy.
Back in November 2017,
Snider said that he could no longer be friends with
Trump because he did not share the president's views on important issues, including the Trump administration's harsh immigration policy.
Snider found himself in the middle of controversy in 2016 when he asked
Trump to stop using the 1984
TWISTED SISTER anthem
"We're Not Gonna Take It" in his campaign. The singer said at the time that
Trump was very gracious about the request.
