"He could send masked men around to shoot me in the head." Former #PinkFloyd frontman #RogerWaters says that his vocal opposition to "evil" US President Trump could get him killed

By Paul Brannigan ( Classic Rock, Louder, Prog ) published 19 January 2026

"Roger Waters has suggested that his political views, and specifically his opposition to 'evil' Donald Trump, could get him assassinated on the US President's orders.

"The former Pink Floyd man made the claim during an interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan on January 16.

"Waters holds divergent views to Trump on many social and political issues, and makes no secret of his opposition to his presidency. During the course of the interview he criticises the US President for his intervention in the domestic affairs of Venezuela and Iran, and argues that he 'governs for the benefit of the #oligarchs and the very rich'.

" 'He's demented,' Waters says. "He's obviously very evil, but now he's demented as well as being very evil. He was always a real scumbag. Everything he's ever done is awful in every way. You might think Donald Trump's a jolly good chap, #MAGA, all that crap, none of which he believes. All he believes is in lining his pockets and the pockets of #JaredKushner (Trump's son-in-law), and maybe some of his other children, and his friends #ElonMusk and #MarkZuckerberg and all the rest of the oligarchs, who are all in the same cabal."

#BernieSanders: US Attack on #Venezuela Is Rank #Imperialism

This brazen violation of international law gives a green light to any nation on earth that may wish to attack another country to seize their resources or change their governments.

by Bernie Sanders, January 3, 2026

"Donald Trump has, once again, shown his contempt for the #Constitution and the rule of law. The President of the United States does NOT have the right to unilaterally take this country to war, even against a corrupt and brutal dictator like Maduro. The United States does NOT have the right, as Trump stated this morning, to 'run' Venezuela. Congress must immediately pass a #WarPowers resolution to end this illegal military operation and reassert its constitutional responsibilities.

"Trump’s attack on Venezuela will make the #UnitedStates and the world less safe. This brazen violation of international law gives a green light to any nation on earth that may wish to attack another country to seize their #resources or change their governments. This is the horrific logic of force that #Putin used to justify his brutal attack on #Ukraine.

"Trump and his administration have often said they want to revive the #MonroeDoctrine, claiming the United States has the right to dominate the affairs of the hemisphere. They have spoken openly about controlling Venezuela’s oil reserves, the largest in the world. This is rank imperialism. It recalls the darkest chapters of #USInterventions in #LatinAmerica, which have left a terrible legacy. It will and should be condemned by the democratic world.

Trump campaigned for president on an '#AmericaFirst' platform. He claimed to be the 'peace candidate.' At a time when 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, when our #healthcare system is collapsing, when people cannot afford #housing and when #AI threatens millions of jobs, it is time for the president to focus on the crises facing this country and end this #MilitaryAdventurism abroad. Trump is failing in his job to 'run' the United States. He should not be trying to 'run' Venezuela."
